Question

In the rhombus, m∠1=8y-6. Find the value of y?

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

In a rhombus the diagonals are bisect each other perpendicularly.

To find the value of y

From the figure we can see a rhombus. The <1 is a right angle.

m<1 = 90

Therefore,  8y - 6 = 90°

8y = 90  + 6

8y = 96

y = 86/8

y = 12

Therefore the value of y = 12
