To find the difference between the areas of the two rhombuses, use the formula for the area of a rhombus, which is given by A = d1 * d2 / 2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
For a rhombus with a corner angle of π/6, the diagonals can be found using trigonometry:
- The length of one diagonal is 4 / sin(π/6) = 8.
- The length of the other diagonal is 4 / sin(π - π/6) = 4 / sin(5π/6) = 8.
Thus, for the rhombus with the corner angle of π/6, both diagonals have lengths of 8.
For a rhombus with a corner angle of 3π/4, the diagonals can also be found:
- The length of one diagonal is 4 / sin(3π/4) = 4 / (sqrt(2)/2) = 8 * sqrt(2).
- The length of the other diagonal is 4 / sin(π - 3π/4) = 4 / (sqrt(2)/2) = 8 * sqrt(2).
Thus, for the rhombus with the corner angle of 3π/4, both diagonals have lengths of 8 * sqrt(2).
Now, calculate the areas of the two rhombuses:
- For the rhombus with the corner angle of π/6, the area is (8 * 8) / 2 = 32 square units.
- For the rhombus with the corner angle of 3π/4, the area is (8 * 8 * sqrt(2)) / 2 = 32 * sqrt(2) square units.
The difference between the areas is 32 * sqrt(2) - 32 square units.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
