Question

Find the area of the rhombus photo provided

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a rhombus is $A = \frac{pq}{2}$ where p and q are the measurements of the diagonals of the rhombus.
$\overline{EL}$ and $\overline{KE}$ are each half of the diagonals we need. Because a Rhombus is symmetrical, we can double each of these to find the full measurements of the diagonals.

$A = \frac{6.0(2) * 8.5(2)}{2}$
$A = \frac{12 * 17}{2}$
$A = \frac{204}{2}$

$A = \frac{204}{2}$
$A = 102cm^2$

Therefore the answer is $102cm^2$.
