How to find an angle in a rhombus - Intermediate Geometry

Card 0 of 9

Question

A rhombus has two interior angles with a measurement of degrees. What is the measurement of each of the other two interior angles?

Answer

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:

Question

Rhombus_missing_angle_dos

Using the rhombus above, find the sum of angles and

Answer

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,

Question

Vt_vt_rhomb_tres

In the rhombus shown above, angle has a measurement of degrees. Find the measurement of angle .

Answer

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:

Question

Vt_vt_rhomb_tres

Angle has a measurement of degrees. Find the sum of angles and

Answer

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: .

Angle and angle must each equal degrees. So the sum of angles and degrees.

Question

Vt_vt_rhomb_tres

In the rhombus shown above, angle has a measurement of degrees. Find the sum of angles and

Answer

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.

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

The sum is:

Question

Given: Parallelogram such that .

True or false: Parallelogram cannot be a rhombus.

Answer

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".

Question

Given: Rhombus with diagonals and intersecting at point .

True or false: must be a right angle.

Answer

One characteristic of a rhombus is that its diagonals are perpendicular. It follows that must be a right angle.

Question

Given Rhombus and diagonal .

Answer

The rhombus referenced is below:

Rhombus

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,

.
