Math Problem Statement

Given rhombus QRST below. Find m∠SUT.

Solution

The problem involves a rhombus QRSTQRST, and we need to determine the measure of SUT\angle SUT.

Key properties of a rhombus:

  1. All sides are equal in length.
  2. The diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90°).
  3. The diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus.

Observations in the diagram:

  • SU\overline{SU} and QT\overline{QT} are diagonals of rhombus QRSTQRST, and they intersect at point UU.
  • Since the diagonals bisect each other at 90°, SUT=90\angle SUT = 90^\circ.

Conclusion:

The measure of SUT\angle SUT is: 90\boxed{90^\circ}

Would you like me to explain the reasoning further or provide any additional insights?


Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

  1. What are the measures of the other angles formed at UU by the diagonals of the rhombus?
  2. How do the diagonals of a rhombus relate to the side lengths?
  3. Can you prove that the diagonals of a rhombus always bisect the angles?
  4. What are the properties of the diagonals in a parallelogram, and how do they compare with those of a rhombus?
  5. If the length of SU\overline{SU} is 10 and QT\overline{QT} is 24, what is the length of QU\overline{QU}?

Tip: Always remember that the diagonals of a rhombus not only bisect the angles but also intersect perpendicularly, which is a key difference compared to a general parallelogram.
