The Solution:
Given the rhombus below:
We are required to find the area of the rhombus.
Recall:
So, applying:
[tex]Area=\frac{d_1\times d_2}{2}[/tex]
Where
[tex]\begin{gathered} d_1=\text{ diagonal 1=15+15=30 in} \\ d_2=\text{d}\imaginaryI\text{agonal 2=8+8=16 }\imaginaryI\text{n} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Substituting these values in the formula for area, we get
[tex]Area=\frac{16+30_}{2}=\frac{46}{2}=23\text{ in}^2[/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is 23 square in.
