The rhombus has a couple of very interesting properties. The first is that the diagonals meet at 90o angles.

The second is that all the sides are congruent. That's actually the key to the problem (or one of them.

The third is that the diagonals are line segments that bisect the angles where the vertex of the angle is. 

So just to make sure you understand what that last statement means <PKM  =  <NKM
K is the vertex of angle PKN 

Now the really heavy duty stuff about your question.
Given
K is obtuse. Therefore <PKM can't be 16o because MKN would also have to be 16 degrees and together they don't add up to anything over 90o.
So the 16o angle is at <EPK

Remember that the diagonals meet at right angles. <PEK = 90o

Finally all triangles have 180o
< PKE = 180 - 16 - 90 = 74. So to review
<PKE = 74o
<EPK = 16o
<PEK = 90o That's one half the problem.

Moving on to triangle PMN
By the properties of parallel lines and a rhombus  and isosceles triangles, that since PKN is bisected (rhombus property) Then PKN = 2* PKM =2*74 = 148o
The angle opposite <PKN is equal to <PKN so <PMN = <PKN
Since PKN = 148 then PMN = 148
Since KPN = 16o then PMN = 16o
Since triangle <PMN is isosceles <PNM = 16o

Summing up 
PMN = 148o
MPN = 16o
MNP = 16o

That's both triangles solved. This is a really nice little problem. If you google properties of a rhombus, you will find all the properties I have used proven.

Answer:

m∠KEP = 90°

m∠EKP = 74°

m∠EPK = 16°

m∠N PM= 16°

m∠MNP = 16

m∠M = 148°

Shawn incorrectly graphed the inequality -x-2y≥8 as shown below Explain shawn mistake ​rotate phone if u need to
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

He failed to flip the inequality

y ≤-1/2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

-x-2y ≥8

Add x to each side

-x+x-2y ≥x+8

-2y ≥x+8

Divide by -2.  Remember to flip the inequality

-2y/-2 ≤-1/2 x +8/-2

y ≤-1/2x-4

Shawn shaded the wrong side of the line.

Y is less than or equal to .  He failed to flip the inequality

A research study investigated differences between male and female students. Based on the study results, we can assume the popula
garri49 [273]

Using the <u>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that the interval that contains 99.44% of the sample means for male students is (3.4, 3.6).

In a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of \mu = 3.5.
  • The standard deviation is of \sigma = 0.5.
  • Sample of 100, hence n = 100, s = \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.05

The interval that contains 95.44% of the sample means for male students is <u>between Z = -2 and Z = 2</u>, as the subtraction of their p-values is 0.9544, hence:

Z = -2:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

-2 = \frac{X - 3.5}{0.05}

X - 3.5 = -0.1

X = 3.4

Z = 2:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

2 = \frac{X - 3.5}{0.05}

X - 3.5 = 0.1

X = 3.6

The interval that contains 99.44% of the sample means for male students is (3.4, 3.6).
