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: \[ \angle ACB + \angle ABD = 90^\circ \] \[ 35^\circ + (11x + 11) = 90^\circ \]

Step 4: Solve for \( x \)

\[ 35 + 11x + 11 = 90 \] \[ 11x + 46 = 90 \] \[ 11x = 90 - 46 \] \[ 11x = 44 \] \[ x = \frac{44}{11} \] \[ x = 4 \]

Final Answer

\[ x = 4 \]
