Math Problem Statement
The diagram shows how a rhombus is made by joining two equilateral triangles.
The same rhombus can be made by joining two copies of an isosceles triangle.
Find the size of each angle of the isosceles triangle.
Solution
Let's break this down step-by-step.
Step 1: Understanding the Rhombus Formation
- A rhombus has four equal sides, and its diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
- In this problem, we are
