A rhombus, like any other quadrilateral has four interior angles that sum to 360 degrees. A rhombus, like any other parallelogram has two pairs of equal interior angles. So if one angle is 36 degrees, the angle on the opposite side is 36 degrees. 36 plus 36 is 72. That leaves 360 minus 72 = 288 degrees to be split among the other two equal sized angles. 288 divided by 2 is 144. 36, 144, 36, 144.
