Answer 3

im also finding the answer on that

Answer 4

could u copy paste the previous question here

Answer 5

Answer 6

ty :) could u also draw the rhombus and label the angle and side ?

Answer 7

i dont know how to do that. :(

Answer 8

click "Draw" button below this textbox

Answer 9

draw only the base (rhombus)

Answer 10

cuz we're stuck on finding the area of base

Answer 11

Yes ! label the given side and angle measurements

Answer 12

i dont know whats the right part to label it

Answer 13

a rhombus has all equal sides,
so all sides must be 6

Answer 14

yes ! what about the angle ?

Answer 15

it mus be diagonal?

Answer 16

angle is not a diagonal

Answer 17

then what

Answer 18
