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°

Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the graph would still be a function, but a different function than if the values were all different. This would cause two of the values to be the same and have no slope on the line. Before, the function was quadratic, but now it would be quadratic until the two values are equal.

You eat 3/10 of a pack of hot dogs. Your friend eats 1/5 of the pack of hot dogs. What fraction of the pack of hot dogs do you a
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Both fractions can be expressed using a denominator of 10. The sum can be reduced by removing a common factor of 5 from numerator and denominator.

  \dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{2}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{3+2}{10}=\dfrac{5\cdot 1}{5\cdot 2}=\dfrac{1}{2}
