| Let’s draw the second diagonal. О is the intersection point of the diagonals. Since the diagonals of the rhombus are mutually perpendicular, the DOE triangle is rectangular.
Consider a triangle EOD in it the angle EDO = 60º, since the diagonals in the rhombus are bisectors.
So the angle DEO = 90º – 60º = 30º.
In a right-angled triangle, the leg lying opposite an angle of 30º is equal to half the hypotenuse.
Let DO – X, then DE – 2X.
By the Pythagorean theorem 4x ^ 2 – x ^ 2 = 36.
3x ^ 2 = 36
x ^ 2 = 36: 3
x ^ 2 = 12
Height is 3
