The correct Answer is:
To find the area of a rhombus, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} \] where the base is the length of one side of the rhombus and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side. ### Solution: **(i) For the first rhombus:** 1. **Given:** - Each side (base) = 12 cm - Height = 7.5 cm 2. **Using the formula for area:** \[ \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 12 \, \text{cm} \times 7.5 \, \text{cm} \] 3. **Calculating the area:** \[ \text{Area} = 12 \times 7.5 = 90 \, \text{cm}^2 \] **(ii) For the second rhombus:** 1. **Given:** - Each side (base) = 2 dm - Height = 12.6 cm 2. **Convert the base from decimeters to centimeters:** \[ 2 \, \text{dm} = 2 \times 10 \, \text{cm} = 20 \, \text{cm} \] 3. **Using the formula for area:** \[ \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 20 \, \text{cm} \times 12.6 \, \text{cm} \] 4. **Calculating the area:** \[ \text{Area} = 20 \times 12.6 = 252 \, \text{cm}^2 \] ### Final Answers: - Area of the first rhombus = 90 cm² - Area of the second rhombus = 252 cm²
