Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the properties of the rhombus
A rhombus is a type of quadrilateral where all four sides are of equal length. Additionally, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles (90 degrees).
Step 2: Understand the given information
In the given rhombus ABCD:
\( \angle ACB = 35^\circ \)
\( \angle ABD = 11x + 11 \)
Step 3: Use the properties of the rhombus to find the value of \( x \)
Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, the angles formed at the intersection of the diagonals are 90 degrees. Therefore, the angles around point B (where the diagonals intersect) must sum to 180 degrees.
Given:
\( \angle ACB = 35^\circ \)
\( \angle ABD = 11x + 11 \)
Since \( \angle ACB \) and \( \angle ABD \) are adjacent angles around point B, they must sum to 90 degrees:
\[ \angle ACB + \angle ABD = 90^\circ \]
\[ 35^\circ + (11x + 11) = 90^\circ \]
