What kind of triangle make a rhombus?
A rhombus can be split into 2 isosceles triangles or divided into 4 right angle triangles
Can a rhombus always be divided into to isosceles triangles?
Nope sorry, a Rhombus will be split into 2 isosceles triangles and 1 equilateral triangle.
If you split a rhombus into 2 triangles what type of triangle do you get?
Acute
Can a triangle be a rhombus?
No, a triangle cannot be a rhombus. A triangle is a polygon with three sides, while a rhombus is a polygon with four sides of equal length. These two shapes have different properties and cannot be the same.
Is a shape split into two congruent triangles with different base angles a parallelogram?
Yes, a parallelogram or a rhombus would fit the given description.

Can a rhombus be spilt into two equilateral triangles?
Yes, it can be split into two equilateral triangles,when we draw a diagonal
Can any two triangles be joined to make a rhombus?
No. A rhombus has all four sides of equal length. To split a rhombus into only 2 triangles, it must be split along a diagonal; which means that 2 of the sides of one of the triangles must be the same length as the sides of the rhombus, which being equal mean the triangles must be (at least) isosceles - scalene triangles will not work. Further, as the diagonal will be a common length to each of the triangles (the length of their third sides), it will form the base (ie the side opposite the vertex between the sides of equal length) of the isosceles triangles, and so the triangles must be to congruent isosceles triangles. If the diagonal has the same length as the side of the rhombus, then the two congruent triangles will be congruent equilateral triangles.

A parallelogram can be split into what type of triangle?
Generally a parallelogram will be split into two scalene triangles by a diagonal; depending upon which diagonal, they will be acute or obtuse. However, it is possible for the diagonal to be the same length as one of the sides, in which case it will be split into two isosceles triangles. For the special case of the "regular" parallelogram (whereby every side is equal in length, and it is otherwise known as a Rhombus) it will generally be split into two isosceles triangles, but the diagonal could be the same length as the sides and it will be split into two equilateral triangles.

Where did the area of a rhombus come from?
If you multiply the lengths of the two diagonals, and divide by 2, you get the area of a rhombus. How does this work: Call the diagonals A & B for clarity. Diagonal A will split the rhombus into 2 congruent triangles. Looking at one of these triangles, its base is the diagonal A, and its height is 1/2 of diagonal B. So the area of one of the triangles is (1/2)*base*height = (1/2)*A*(B/2) = A*B/4. The other triangle has the same area, so the two areas together make up the whole rhombus = 2*(A*B/4) = A*B/2.
