Homework Help: 7th Grade Math

Posted by Jessie on Friday, February 15, 2013 at 2:42pm.

I do know how to find the area of a square and rectangle, but how do you fing the area of a rhombus. (that is at least what it looks like.)
The shape I'm talking about is like a rectangle but it looks like one side got stretched to the left. (sorry if I made that even more confusing.)
Please help! Thank you!
