Transcript text: Question 4
Find the missing angles in this rhombus.
$m \angle 1=$ $\square$
$m \angle 2=$ $\square$
$m \angle 3=$ $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find m∠1
Adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary. The given angle is 60°. Therefore, m∠1 = 180° - 60° = 120°.
Step 2: Find m∠2
Opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent. Thus, m∠2 = 60°.
Step 3: Find m∠3
Opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent, and all angles must add up to 360°. m∠3 = (360° - 60° - 60° - 120°)/2= 60° Alternatively, m∠3 is adjacent to m∠2 and can be found using the same logic as Step 1. m∠3 = 180° - 60° = 120°.
