Math Problem Statement

In a rhombus, if one angle is 120°, what is the measure of each of the other angles?

Solution

The question states:

(a) In a rhombus, if one angle is 120°, what is the measure of each of the other angles?

Solution:

  1. In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal, and the adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180°).

  2. Given one angle is 120°, its opposite angle will also be 120°.

  3. The remaining two angles are supplementary to 120°: 180°120°=60°180° - 120° = 60°

  4. Thus, the other two angles are each 60°.

Answer:

The angles in the rhombus are:

  • 120°, 120°, 60°, and 60°.
