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°

Jason with 120 and is going 10 pounds each month Gerardo weighs 150 pounds and is having 4 pounds each month . Write an equation
pshichka [43]

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's original weight = 120 pounds

Let the no. of months be m

If he gains 10 pounds in each moth , then his weight in m months will be = 10m

His total weight will be= 120+10m  -----(1)

Gerardo's original weight = 150 pounds

If he gains 4 pounds in each month , then his weight in m months will me =4m

His total weight will be = 150+4m-----(2)

<u>Equating (1) ans(2)</u>

120+10m=150+4m

=>10m-4m=150-120

=>6m=30

=>m=\frac{30}{6}

<u>=>m=5</u>

It will take 5 months for Jason to weigh the same as Gerardo

Help me out please an thank you

The answer is 46.
Since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180,
We can find out angle C by subtracting the other two angles
180-102-32=46

I'm pretty sure they're congruent according to the sas postulate but could someone make sure?? thx &lt;3
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The triangles aren't necessarily congruent. SAS postulate is side angle side, which means that the angle that is congruent must be between the two sides that are congruent. DF is congruent to MN, and DG is congruent to MP. This means, that angle D must be congruent to angle M.

However, we only know that D is congruent to P, not M.

These triangles are not necessarily congruent.
