### Question 18

#### Description
The image shows a geometric figure, specifically a rhombus, highlighted in red. This rhombus has two diagonals drawn inside it. The horizontal diagonal measures 8.4 cm, and the vertical diagonal measures 6 m.

#### Diagram Analysis
- **Shape**: Rhombus
- **Dimensions**:
  - **Horizontal Diagonal**: 8.4 cm
  - **Vertical Diagonal**: 6 m (600 cm for calculation purposes)

#### Task
Calculate the area of the rhombus using the given dimensions and provide the solution in square meters ($m^2$).

#### Area Calculation Formula
The area \( A \) of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula:
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Diagonal}_1 \times \text{Diagonal}_2 \]

#### Detailed Steps
1. Convert all measurements to the same unit. Here, convert 8.4 cm to meters:
   \[ 8.4 \text{ cm} = 0.084 \text{ m} \]
2. Apply the diagonals into the formula:
   \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.084 \text{ m} \times 6 \text{ m} \]

3. Perform the multiplication:
   \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.504 \text{ m}^2 \]
   \[ A = 0.252 \text{ m}^2 \]

#### Conclusion
Thus, the area of the rhombus is \( 0.252 \text{ m}^2 \).

**Fill in the blank:**
- Area is 0.252 \(m^2\)

**Blank 1:**

As per the calculations, the answer for the area is \( 0.252 \text{ m}^2 \).
