The area of the rhombus is 96 ft. Convert to inches.

First of all, area is expressed in sq feet, not feet. Therefore, the area of the rhombus is 96 sq ft.

Let the amount of sq inches in 96 sq feet be I

Now, since 144 sq inches = 1 sq foot, then using proportions, we get have: 144%2F1+=+I%2F96

I = 144 * 96 ------- Cross-multiplying

Therefore, 96 sq feet = highlight_green%2813824%29 sq. inches.
