Question

Each side of a rhombus is 14 in. Long. Two of the sides form a 60 degree angle, how do you find the area of the rhombus?

Answer 1

Area of the rhombus is `169.74` sq.in.

Explanation:

Area of a rhombus is `A_r = s^2 * sin theta`

where `s` is the length of any side and `theta` is any interior

angle. `s= 14 , theta= 60^0 :. A_r= 14^2 * sin 60` or

`A_r= 14^2 * sin 60 = 196* sqrt 3/2~~ 169.74 (2 dp)` sq.in

Area of the rhombus is `169.74` sq.in[Ans]
