Question:
Find the area of the field in the form of a rhombus, if the length of each side be 14 cm and the altitude be 16 cm.
Solution:
Given:
Length of each side of a field in the shape of a rhombus $=14 \mathrm{~cm}$
Altitude $=16 \mathrm{~cm}$
Now, we know: Area of the rhombus $=$ Side $\times$ Altitude
$\therefore$ Area of the field $=14 \times 16=224 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
