To find the missing dimension of the rhombus using the area formula \( A = bh \), where \( A \) is the area, \( b \) is the base (or one side length of the rhombus), and \( h \) is the height, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height \( h \):
\[
h = \frac{A}{b}
\]
In this case, you've provided:
- Area \( A = 40 \, \text{in}^2 \)
- Base \( b = 8 \, \text{in} \)
Now, we can substitute these values into the equation:
\[
h = \frac{40}{8} = 5 \, \text{in}
\]
Therefore, the missing dimension (the height) of the rhombus is:
\[
h = 5 \, \text{in}
\]
\[
h = \frac{A}{b}
\]
In this case, you've provided:
- Area \( A = 40 \, \text{in}^2 \)
- Base \( b = 8 \, \text{in} \)
Now, we can substitute these values into the equation:
\[
h = \frac{40}{8} = 5 \, \text{in}
\]
Therefore, the missing dimension (the height) of the rhombus is:
\[
h = 5 \, \text{in}
\]
