A square and a rhombus stand on the same base of length 12 cm. The rhombus leans so that its height is 9 cm, while the square's height is 12 cm. By how much (in sq cm) is the square's area greater than the rhombus's area?

Question

Accepted Answer

36. Square area = 12 x 12 = 144. Rhombus area = base x height = 12 x 9 = 108. Difference = 144 - 108 = 36 sq cm.
