Find the area of the rhombus.
A=
square units

The answer should be 24 square units.

5 is the hypotenuse and the one we need is the base and the height. They gave us the height, which was 6 in total but 3 for the triangle. But we needed to find the base.

In order to do that, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

3^2+b^2=5^2

9+b^2=25

Subtract 9 from both sides

b^2=16

Then square root both sides.

b=4.

Now that we have the base, you can then find the area of the triangle.

BH/2
4*3/2
12/2
6

So one triangle equals to 6. Then multiply that by 4 to find the area of the rhombus. Which would be 24 square units.
