Math Problem Statement
Given rhombus QRST below. Find m∠SUT.
Solution
The problem involves a rhombus , and we need to determine the measure of .
Key properties of a rhombus:
- All sides are equal in length.
- The diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90°).
- The diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus.
Observations in the diagram:
- and are diagonals of rhombus , and they intersect at point .
- Since the diagonals bisect each other at 90°, .
Conclusion:
The measure of is:
Would you like me to explain the reasoning further or provide any additional insights?
Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
- What are the measures of the other angles formed at by the diagonals of the rhombus?
- How do the diagonals of a rhombus relate to the side lengths?
- Can you prove that the diagonals of a rhombus always bisect the angles?
- What are the properties of the diagonals in a parallelogram, and how do they compare with those of a rhombus?
- If the length of is 10 and is 24, what is the length of ?
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.
