Answers:

angle2 = 160 degrees

angle3 = 10 degrees

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

Explanation:

The two triangles are congruent. We can prove this using SSS. The upper triangle is a mirrored copy of the lower triangle.

Since angle1 = 160 degrees, this means angle2 = 160 also. This is because the corresponding pieces of congruent triangles match up. Or you could use the second part of the hint which says "Opposite angles in a rhombus are congruent".

Let x be the measure of angle 3. For either isosceles triangle, it has congruent base angles measured x degrees. They add to the 160 degrees mentioned earlier to get a total of 180.

160+x+x = 180

2x+160 = 180

2x = 180-160

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Angle 3 is 10 degrees.
