Area Of Polygons
If a square and a rhombus stand on the same base and between the same parallels, then the ratio of the areas of the square and the rhombus is: ________?
Explanation and memory cue
If a square and a rhombus stand on the same base and between the same parallels, their areas are determined by the base and the height (distance between the parallels). Since both share the same base and height, their areas are equal. The area of the square is side squared, and the area of the rhombus is base times height. Given the height equals the side length of the square, the areas are equal, so the ratio of the areas is 1.
