Math Problem Statement
Find the measure of the three missing angles in the rhombus below.
Solution
In a rhombus, opposite angles are always equal, and the sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is .
From the image:
- One angle is given as , which means the opposite angle will also be .
- Since the angles opposite are equal, we have .
- Now, to find the remaining angles, and , we use the fact that adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary, meaning they add up to .
Thus, Substituting , Solving for ,
Therefore:
