A rhombus has two interior angles with a measurement of degrees. What is the measurement of each of the other two interior angles?
The four interior angles in any rhombus must have a sum of degrees. The opposite interior angles must be equivalent, and the adjacent angles have a sum of
degrees.
Thus, if a rhombus has two interior angles of degrees, there must also be two angles that equal:

Compare your answer with the correct one above
Using the rhombus above, find the sum of angles and
The four interior angles in any rhombus must have a sum of degrees.
The opposite interior angles must be equivalent, and the adjacent angles have a sum of degrees.
Since then,
Compare your answer with the correct one above
In the rhombus shown above, angle has a measurement of
degrees. Find the measurement of angle
.
The four interior angles in any rhombus must have a sum of degrees.
The opposite interior angles must be equivalent, and the adjacent angles have a sum of degrees.
Since angle is adjacent to angle
, they must have a sum of
degrees.
The solution is:

and
The four interior angles in any rhombus must have a sum of degrees.
The opposite interior angles must be equivalent, and the adjacent angles have a sum of degrees.
Since, both angles and
are adjacent to angle
--find the measurement of one of these two angles by:

Angles and
are opposite interior angles, so they must have equivalent measurements.

Compare your answer with the correct one above
Given: Parallelogram such that
.
True or false: Parallelogram cannot be a rhombus.
A rhombus is defined to be a parallelogram with four congruent sides; there is no restriction as to the measures of the angles. Therefore, a rhombus can have angles of any measure. The correct choice is "false".

intersecting at point
.
True or false: must be a right angle.
One characteristic of a rhombus is that its diagonals are perpendicular. It follows that must be a right angle.

Given Rhombus and diagonal
.
The rhombus referenced is below:
As a rhombus is a parallelogram, consecutive angles and
are supplementary - that is,
.
Set and solve:
A diagonal of a rhombus bisects the angles at its endpoints, so, specifically, bisects
. Therefore,
