Answer:

Area of the rhombus is:

24 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

 Area of rhombus is given as:

    Area= b×h

where b is the base

and h is the height

let base of rhombus be the line joining (-4,1) and (2,1)

length of base=b= [tex]\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(1-1)^2} \\\\=\sqrt{6^2}\\ \\=6[/tex]

so, height is perpendicular to base which is line joining (0,5) and (0,1)

length of height=h=4

hence, Area = 6×4

                    = 24 square units
