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:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We have similar triangles here.</u>
- BC║DE, AB║AD and AC║AE ⇒ ΔADE ~ ΔABC
<u>The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same:</u>
- BC/DE = AC/AE
- BC / 2 = 30/3
- BC / 2 = 10
- BC = 2*10
- BC = 20 m
Answer:
x
-- = y
25
Step-by-step explanation:
Because it is 25% off, x is divided by 25 to get the price.
For example if x was 100, divide it by 25 you get 75, which is y.

===================================================
Explanation:
Part (a)
Lines LN and PN have the point N in common. This is the intersection point.
-----------------
Part (b)
To name a plane, pick any three non-collinear points that are inside it. We cannot pick points H, J, K together because infinitely many planes pass through it. Imagine the piece of flat paper able to rotate around this axis (like a propeller). Having the points not all on the same line guarantees we form exactly one unique plane.
I'll pick the non-collinear points P, H and J to get the name Plane PHJ. Other answers are possible.
------------------
Part (c)
Points H, J and K are collinear as they are on the same line. Pick either H or K to fill out the answer box. I'll go with point K
------------------
Part (d)
Point P and line HK are coplanar. They exist in the same flat plane, or on the same sheet of flat paper together.
We can think of that flat plane as the ground level while something like point N is underground somewhere. So point N and anything on that ground plane wouldn't be coplanar.
Note: there are other possible names for line HK such as line JH or line JK. The order doesn't matter when it comes to naming lines.
