  • A34
  • B13.6
  • C289
  • D17

Step-by-Step Solution

All four sides of a rhombus are equal, so side = 68 ÷ 4 = 17 cm. Dividing by 2 (as you would for a rectangle to get length + breadth) gives the trap 34; 289 is , an area.
Answer: D) 17

Key idea: Triangle area

**Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height.**

The base is any side you choose; the height is the perpendicular distance from that base to the opposite vertex (NOT the slant length of another side). For a right triangle, the two legs that meet at the right angle ARE the base and height.

Example: triangle with base 6 cm and height 4 cm. Area = ½ × .

The perimeter of a triangle is just the sum of its three sides — no formula needed.
