The deltoid below has an area of 60 cm².
What is the value of X?
To solve the problem, we need to remember the formula for the area of a rhombus:
The product of the diagonals multiplied together and then divided by 2.
Let's substitute in our data into the formula:
(8*X) = 60
2
Note that we can simplify the fraction, thus eliminating the denominator:
4X = 60
Let's finally divide the equation by 4 to get our answer:
X = 15
15
