*Picture not drawn to scale

What is the area of the piece of paper?
A.
121 square inches
B.
60.5 square inches
C.
44 square inches
D.
105.6 square inches

Answer 1

Since the piece of paper is cut into a rhombus shape, we can calculate its area using the formula:

Area = (d1 * d2) / 2

where d1 and d2 are the diagonals of the rhombus. From the picture, we can see that the diagonals are 11 inches and 11 inches.

Area = (11 * 11) / 2
Area = 121 / 2
Area = 60.5 square inches

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. 60.5 square inches
