Question

Help with finding area of this rhombus? Each square is three feet.

Answer 1

height times base

Answer 2

Yea I know, but do I include the pieces of squares that are cut off because the walls are slanted?

Answer 3

no need to concern yourself with the sides ...

its 6 squares high, and 10 squares wide ...

Answer 4

both of these have the same area

Answer 5

consider if we cut and move one of the slanted pieces over, we simply create the same rectangle again
