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°

What is 12.345 rounded to the nearest tenth
noname [10]
Rounding to the nearest tenth means rounding to the decimal place directly to the right of the decimal. 

The rules of rounding are fairly simple. If the number to the right of the number you are rounding is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. If the number to the right is less than 5, you round down.

Let's take a look at the number 12.345.
First, round to the hundredths place. The number right before the 4 is 5, so we round up. This gives us the number 12.35.
Next, we have to round to the tenths place. The number to the right of the 3 is 5, so we round up as well. This gives us the number 12.4.

Answer: 12.4

Work out b(4½-3⅔)+1⅔​
Zolol [24]

Answer:

2 \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions

(\frac{9}{2} - \frac{11}{3} ) + \frac{5}{3} ← the LCM of 2 and 3 is 6

= \frac{9(3)}{2(3)} - \frac{11(2)}{3(2)} + \frac{5(2)}{3(2)}

= \frac{27}{6} - \frac{22}{6} + \frac{10}{6}

= \frac{5}{6} + \frac{10}{6}

= \frac{15}{6}

= \frac{5}{2}

= 2 \frac{1}{2}

Determine if the leading coefficient of the following function is positive or negative and whether the function has a minimum or
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The function has a negative leading coefficient and a maximum vertex point

Explanation:

This function's leading coefficient is determined by whether it is concave up or concave down, meaning it has an Up and Up end behavior for a positive leading coefficient and a Down and Down end behavior for a negative coefficient.

This function's end behavior is Down and Down, so it must have a negative leading coefficient.

The function has a minimum vertex when the function has a positive leading coefficient and a maximum vertex point when the function has a negative leading coefficient.

This means that the functions vertex is the highest or lowest possible value of the function (the rest of the function continues forever in whichever direction.

This particular function has a maximum vertex as there is no point above the vertex here and the function has a negative leading coefficient.
