the area of a rhombus is 24 square inches. What is the are of a similar rhombus that is 7 times as big?

1176

Step-by-step explanation: 7 times as big is an ambiguous term; it could mean that each side is 7 times larger, or that the shape as a whole is made 7 times larger. We'll assume that each side is made larger, because that is typically the type of question asked. The area is given as base times height, and obviously, if you dilate the non-base side by 7, the height will also become 7, because those two lines from a triangle with the third side being the base extended. I wish I could draw you a diagram but i can;t. Either way, think of it as a square, and if we dilate each side by 7, then we have lx7xwx7=Area, which is lw*49=49 times the given area, which is 24; 24*49=1176

i belive those are the ones that are under 90 degreese.
