Math Problem Statement
Solution
This problem involves finding the angles in a rhombus with given diagonal properties.
Key information:
- The rhombus is split by diagonals, which meet at a right angle (90°).
- One of the angles is given as 53°.
Steps to Solve:
-
Angle at the intersection of diagonals: Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other perpendicularly, meaning the angles they form at the intersection are always 90°.
- Thus, .
-
Using the property of the rhombus: Diagonals bisect opposite angles equally. So, each angle of the rhombus will be split into two equal parts by the diagonals.
-
Given angle : This is half of the total angle at the vertex between sides 2 and 4.
- Therefore, the total angle at that vertex is .
- This also means , because diagonals bisect angles of a rhombus equally.
-
Remaining angles: The other two angles (where sides 1 and 3 meet) must be supplementary to , meaning they sum to with it.
- The total opposite angle is .
- Since diagonals bisect the angles, .
