The side and the height of a rhombus are 13 and 20 cms respectively. Find the area.

Options

A. `260 cm^(2)`
B. `275 cm^(2)`
C. `290 cm^(2)`
D. None of these

Answer

To find the area of a rhombus when the side and the height are given, we can use the formula:

**Area of a Rhombus = Side × Height**

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the given values:**
- Side of the rhombus (s) = 13 cm
- Height (h) = 20 cm

2. **Use the formula for the area of a rhombus:**
\[ \text{Area} = \text{Side} \times \text{Height} \]

3. **Substitute the given values into the formula:**
\[ \text{Area} = 13 \, \text{cm} \times 20 \, \text{cm} \]

4. **Calculate the area:**
\[ \text{Area} = 260 \, \text{cm}^2 \]

5. **Conclusion:**
The area of the rhombus is \( 260 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
