The answer is 8 because for this question all you need to do is add 5 and 3
Check the picture below.
since in a rhombus the diagonals bisect each other, thus EC = EA.
now, the rhombus is simply 4 congruent triangles, we know the base and height of one of them, thus
![\bf \textit{area of a triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh~~ \begin{cases} b=8\\ h=15 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(8)(15)\implies A=60 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of all 4 triangles}}{4(60)\implies 240}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Ctextit%7Barea%20of%20a%20triangle%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20A%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dbh~~%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20b%3D8%5C%5C%20h%3D15%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%20A%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%288%29%2815%29%5Cimplies%20A%3D60%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Barea%20of%20all%204%20triangles%7D%7D%7B4%2860%29%5Cimplies%20240%7D)
(8c)^2+7c
(8c)^2=64c^2
so that..
64c^2+7c
factor out c
c(64c+7)
It is not A or C, and D isn't specific enough (over what amount of time? is it flying up? down? It is going forward at the same height?) The most likely thing to stay consistent is the cost of fabric and it's length.
Say 1 foot of fabric is $3 (assuming there's no discount for additional feet, but math isn't that consistent with actual store sales), then 2 is $6, and 3 is $9. That is a constant rate of change.
Your answer will be letter b
