triangle.

Ans: Rhombus can be break up into

two triangles.
Ans: base=3units Ans: base=15.6 cm So, height and base of both triangles
Height=4units Ans: base=4cm Height=6cm are same
Area of triangle = Height=6cm Area of triangle base=6cm
Area of triangle = = Height=8 ÷2= 4cm
Area= =
Area= ==12 Area= Area of triangle =
=6 unit squared
= Area of one triangle =
=12.
Area of rhombus=24
