<u>Finding x:</u>
We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect its angles
So, since US is a diagonal of the given rhombus:
∠RUS = ∠TUS
10x - 23 = 3x + 19 [replacing the given values of the angles]
7x - 23 = 19 [subtracting 3x from both sides]
7x = 42 [adding 23 on both sides]
x = 6 [dividing both sides by 7]
<u>Finding ∠RUT:</u>
We can see that:
∠RUT = ∠RUS + ∠TUS
<em>Since we are given the values of ∠RUS and ∠TUS:</em>
∠RUT = (10x - 23) + (3x + 19)
∠RUT = 13x - 4
<em>We know that x = 6:</em>
∠RUT = 13(6)- 4
∠RUT = 74°
Is it a yardstick? It has 2 ft of the edges and one ft in the middle.
<h3>Answer: choice A) </h3><h3>tan(Y) = 6/7 and tan(Z) = 7/6</h3>
Recall that the tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite over adjacent sides
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
For reference angle Y, the opposite side is XZ = 6 and the adjacent side is XY = 7, so,
tan(Y) = XZ/XY = 6/7
For tan(Z), things will swap. The opposite side is now XY = 7 and the adjacent side is now XZ = 6
tan(Z) = XY/XZ = 7/6
We do not use the hypotenuse sqrt(85) at all in this problem because the tangent ratio does not involve the hypotenuse.
