If the width of the rectangle is y, find an expression for the area of the rectangle. How do i figure it out!? Sorry i also have another question, how do you do this one: A rhombus has side length 8x cm. One diagonal measures 12cm and the other measures 6x - 8cm. Find the area of the rhombus if area = perimeter. Thats the question and i don't have a clue how to complete it. Thankyou!  </SPAN>\n" );
