A rhombus is just 2 isosceles triangles as a rhombus' sides are all the same
If you draw a line from A to C, youll get 2 triangles, both equilateral with sides of 8cm
What you can then use is the sin rule (Area = 1/2 ab*sinC) twice to get the full area of the triangle
I can send a screenshot of a diagram in a bit, just give me a sec
ok cheers
This is a labelled diagram of what Im talking about
THe ones in blue are 1 triangle, ones in green are another, you add the areas of both of those to get the rhombus area
thank you for that
