let @ is the angle of DAB in rohmbus
according to Rohmbus property ,
all side of rohmbus are equal .
e.g
AB = BC =CD =DA
now , Draw a rough diagram of Rohmbus ABCD
altitude from D meet in AB at M
a/c to question ,
AM = MB =1/2 AB = 1/2BC =1/2 CD =1/2AD
here ∆ ADM is right angle traingle .
where
AD is hypotenuse
DM is altitude
and AM is base
formula of cos@ =base/hypotenuse
so,
cos@ = AM/AD
from above
cos@ = 1/2AD /AD = 1/2
but we know cos60° =1/2
so, cos@ = cos 60°
@= 60° =angle DAB = angle BCD
we also know rohmbus is ||gm
so,
angle ADC +angle DAB =180°
angle ADC = 180° - 60° =120°
angle ADC = angle ABC = 120°
so,
angles of rohmbus are
60° , 120° , 60° ,120°
Hope This Helps :)
