Instructions Find The Angle Measures Given The Figure Is A Rhombus Please Help class=

Sagot :

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

since this is rhombus 1 2 3 4 must be equal

|NP|=|MN|

so 180-120=60

60/2=30

Answer: All four angles (angle1,2,3,4) are 30 degrees each

===========================================================

Explanation:

A rhombus has all four sides that are the same length. Think of a square, but we don't necessarily need to have all four angles be 90 degrees (as the diagram indicates).

Focus on triangle MNP. We have N = 120 degrees. We also know that MN = NP due to the fact all four sides of a rhombus are the same length.

This immediately leads to triangle MNP being isosceles. The base angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent angles. So angle 1 and angle 3 are the same measure. For triangle MNP, angle M and angle P are the same.

Let's find the missing angle

M+N+P = 180 ... angles of a triangle add to 180

M+120+M = 180 ... plug in N = 120, replace P with M

2M+120 = 180

2M = 180-120 ... subtracting 120 from both sides

2M = 60

M = 60/2 .... dividing both sides by 2

M = 30

So N is also 30 degrees

------------------------

We've found that both angle 1 and angle 3 are 30 degrees each.

Any rhombus is a parallelogram, which means that angles 1 and 4 are congruent alternate interior angles. Similarly, angles 2 and 3 are the other pair of alternate interior angles.

Therefore, we can say

angle 1 = angle 4 = 30 degrees

angle 2 = angle 3 = 30 degrees
