X = measure of angle 1
y = measure of angle 2
z = measure of angle 3
w = measure of angle 4
Focus on the bottom triangle. The three angles add to 180 degrees
(angle 2) + (angle 3) + 116 = 180
y+z+116 = 180
y+z= 180-116
y+z= 64
Since we have the bottom triangle as isosceles, this means that y = z, so
y+z = 64
y+y = 64
2y = 64
y = 64/2
y = 32
making z = 32 as well
Similarly, angle 1 and angle 4 are 32 degrees because the 116 angle is opposite the top left-most angle, and congruent to this angle. In other words, the bottom triangle is a mirror image of the top triangle.
The figure is a rhombus because all four sides are the same length (as shown by the tickmarks)

Answer:
This figure is a rhombus
All four angles (angle 1 through angle 4) are the same measure. They are each 32 degrees
Answers:
- A) Ray QS or Ray QR
- B) Line segment QS or SQ
- C) Plane QSR
- D) Line QS or RQ
=======================================================
Explanation:
Part A)
When naming a ray, always start at the endpoint. This is the first letter and we'll start with point Q.
The second letter is the point that is on the ray where the ray aims at. We have two choices S and R as they are both on the same ray. That's why we can name this Ray QS and Ray QR.
--------------------
Part B)
A segment is named by its endpoints. The order of the endpoints doesn't matter so that's why segment QS is the same as segment SQ. To me, it seems more natural to read from left to right, so QS seems better fitting (again the order doesn't matter).
--------------------
Part C)
When forming a plane, you need 3 noncollinear points. The term "collinear" means the points all fall on the same line. So these three points cannot all fall on the same straight line. In other words, we must be able to form a triangle of some sort.
So that's how we get the name "Plane QSR". The order of the letters doesn't matter.
--------------------
Part D)
To name a line, we just need to pick two points from it. Any two will do. The order doesn't matter. So that's how we get Line QS and Line RQ as two aliases for this same line. It turns out that there are 6 different ways to name this line.
- Line QR
- Line QS
- Line RQ
- Line RS
- Line SQ
- Line SR
2x + y = x - y - 3 = 6
Add 3 to everything
2x + y + 3 = x - y - 3 + 3 = 6 + 3
2x + y + 3 = x - y = 9
2x + y + 3 = 9
2x + y = 6 = x - y
Add y to everything
2x + 2y = 6 + y = x
Since x = 6 + y substitute every x with 6 + y
2(6 + y) + 2y = x
12 + 4y = x
This is as simplified as I can get and then just place 12 + 4y into every x in the original problem then solve
x and y are the packs of organic and inorganic fertilizer, respectively.
pounds of nitrogen added = 2x + 6y = 120
pounds of potassium added = 3x + 2y = 54
eliminate the y terms. subtract the first equation from 3 times the second equation.
9x + 6y = 162
-2x - 6y = -120
------------------
7x = 42
x = 6
y = 18
1 5/10 meters is equivalent
