Question

For the rhombus below, find the measure of angles 1,2,3 and 4.

Answer 1

Answer:

∠1 is 33°

∠2 is 57°

∠3 is 57°

∠4 is 33°

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we already know that ∠2 is 57° because of alternate interior angles.

Second, it's important to know that rhombus' diagonals bisect each other; meaning they form 90° angles in the intersection. Another cool thing is that the diagonals bisect the existing angles in the rhombus. Therefore, 57° is just half of something.

Then, you basically just do some other pain-in-the-butt things after.

Since that ∠2 is just the bisected half from one existing angle, that means that ∠3 is just the other half; meaning that ∠3 is 57°, as well.

Next is to just find the missing angle ∠1. Since we already know ∠3 is 57°, we can just add that to the 90° that the diagonals formed at the intersection.

57° + 90° = 147°

180° - 147° = 33°

∠1 is 33°

Finally, since that ∠4 is just an alternate interior angle of ∠1, ∠4 is 33°, too.
