When the midpoints of the adjacent sides of the blue quadrilateral are connected, they form a rhombus. Given the dimensions shown in the diagram, find the area of the entire blue quadrilateral.
I didn't necessarily know how to do this problem here, but this was my best idea:
"The blue square holds 2x the area of the yellow rhombus. The area of a rhombus is 1/2 times the product of the diagonals. 2(1/2(5*12) = 60u^2"
