Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the polygon
The given polygon is a quadrilateral, specifically a rhombus, because it has four sides.
Step 2: Choose a vertex
Select any vertex of the rhombus.
Step 3: Draw diagonals
From the chosen vertex, draw diagonals to all non-adjacent vertices. In a quadrilateral, there are two other vertices which are not adjacent to the chosen vertex. Drawing lines to these vertices forms two triangles.
