ABCD is the required rhombus. 
 
15. We have, 
Number of vertices (V) = 8 
Number of edges (E) = 12 
Let, number of faces = F 
Since every polyhedron satisfy Euler's formula, therefore 
F + V = E + 2 
Or, F + 8 = 12 + 2 
Or, F = 14 - 8 = 6 
Hence, the number of faces are 6. 
16. We have:

17. From the graph, it is clear that 5 students favoured orange and 1 student favoured 
green.  
Now, 5 – 1 = 4  
Therefore, 4 more students favoured orange colour than green. 
 
18. Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoidal, we have AD = BC 
Therefore, AD = BC = 4 cm. 
Now the perimeter of given trapezium  
= AB + BC + CD + DA 
= 12 + 4 + 8 + 4 
= 28
