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°

A line passes through (3, -2) and (6, 2). a. Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. b. Rewrite the equation in stan
koban [17]

Answer:

(a)

Given: A line passes through the points (3, -2) and (6, 2)

Point slope form: An equation of line passing through two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is given by:

y -y_1=m(x-x_1`)  .....[1] where m is the slope of the line.

Calculate first the slope of the line:

Slope(m) = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute the given points;

m = \frac{2-(-2)}{6-3}=\frac{2+2}{3} =\frac{4}{3}

Substitute the value of m in [1] ;

y - (-2) = \frac{4}{3}(x-3)

y+2=\frac{4}{3}(x-3)     ......[1]

therefore, the equation of line in point slope form is, y+2=\frac{4}{3}(x-3)    

(b)

to find the standard form of the equation [1]

Multiply both sides by 3  in [1] we get;

3(y+2) = 4(x-3)

using distributive property;   a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c

3y + 6 = 4x -12

Subtract 3y to both sides we get;  

3y + 6 -3y = 4x - 12 - 3y

Simplify:

6 = 4x - 3y -12

Subtract 6 from both sides we get;

0 = 4x - 3y -12-6

Simplify:

4x - 3y - 18 =0

Therefore, the standard form of the equation is; 4x - 3y - 18 =0

Ilya [14]

Answer:

M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function modeling</u>

Real-life situations often require the help of mathematics to model numerically what happens when the variables involved can change. It could even be used to predict some expected outcomes from those models.

The problem states Janice receives $.40 per pound when he recycles less or equal than 99 pounds of aluminum. If x is the number of recycled pounds, then the amount of money he receives is

M=0.4x

We also know that if he recycles more than 100 pounds of aluminum, the pay increases to $0.5 per pound. In that case, the amount of money is

M=0.5x

This is a case where the function is defined differently depending on the conditions of the input variable x. It's called a piecewise function. The function can be written as

M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.

Note the function is not well constructed because there is a gap for x=100 where M is not defined. If we establish that for 100 pounds the payment is $0.5, then the second piece would include x=100
