Rhombus A has base of 7 inches and an area of 35 square inches. Rhombus B has a Base and Height that are three times the base and height of Rhombus A. Find the area of Rhombus b and compare it to the area of rhombus A Explain

Rhombus A:

Area = 35 square inches

base = 7 inches

height = 5 inches

Rhombus B:

Area = 315 square inches

base = 21 inches (7 x 3)

height = 15 inches (5 x 3)

A = 21 x 15

The area of Rhombus B is 9 times bigger than the area of Rhombus A. The reason is that 2 dimensions were tripled, so x3 x3 = 9 times bigger.
