Question 1106154: The figure below is a rhombus. We know that the m<1 = 15x, m<2 = x + y, and m,3 = 30z What is the value of x and y?. Answer by ikleyn(53763) (Show Source):
(Although you had the opportunity to do it by naming them as "opposite angles" or "adjacent angles").
In any case, the way to solve it is to use the following facts:
1. The opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent;
2. The adjacent angles of a rhombus are supplementary, i.e. sum up to 180 degrees.
3. The sum of all internal angles of a rhombus is 360 degrees.
