For rhombus A:
base = 7 in
area = 35 in²
Area of rhombus = b * h
⇒ 35 = 7 * h
⇒ h = 35/7
⇒ h = 5 in
Rhombus B:
height = 3*5 = 15 in
base = 7*3 = 21 in
Area = 15 * 21 = 315 in
Area of rhombus B is 9 times area of rhombus A. When the dimensions are increased to 3 times the initial dimension, area became 9 times.
First multiply the big numbers. 3*1.20= ($3.60) and 5*1.20= ($6)
Now the fractions, 1/12 would equal 10 cents. 5/12 + 1/12= 6/12 which would also equal (60 cents). 3.60+6.00+.60= $10.20
Because algebra means finding the unknown
it is usually used in real life
for example if if 1/2 of the legnth of a line is 8 then what is the legnth
so then 1/2 x=8 and that is algebraic
since it has x, or an unknown in it, it is an algebraic expression
