The given ABCD is a rhombus and DE is the altitude on AB then AE = EB.
In a ΔAED and ΔBED
DE =DE (common line)
<AED = < BED ( right angle)
AE = BE ( DE is an altitude)
therefore ΔAED =~(congrunt) ΔBED (SAS property)
therefore AD = BD (by C.P.C.T.)
But AB =AB (sides of rhombus are equal)
=> AB = AB = BD
therefore ABD is an equalateral triangle.
therefore <A = 60°
=> <A = <C = 60° (opposite angle of rhombus is equal)
But sum of adjacent of a rhombus is supplimentary.
<ABC + BCD = 180°
=> <ABC + 60° = 180°
=> <ABC = 180° - 60° = 120°.
therefore <ABC = ADC = 120° (opposite angle of a rhombus are equal)
therefore angles of a rhombus are <A = 60° and <C = 60° , <B <D = 120°.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
THANK YOU.
