Each side of the rhombus is 5cm and the height is 3cm. Which is the area of the rhombus

Answer 1

The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

In this case, we know that each side of the rhombus is 5 cm, but what we need to focus on here is the height, which is given as 3 cm.

So, we can use the side length (which acts as the base in this context) and the height:

\[ \text{Area} = 5 , \text{cm} \times 3 , \text{cm} = 15 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Thus, the area of the rhombus is \( \mathbf{15 , cm^2} \).
