diagonal AC of a rhombus ABCD is equal to one of its side BC find all the angles of the Rhombus
Answers
Answer:
Concept:
A parallelogram is a particular instance of a rhombus. The opposing sides and angles in a rhombus are parallel and equal. A rhombus also has equal-length sides and diagonals that are at right angles to one another.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let as assume ABCD is a rhombus. Diagonal AC is equal to one of its side BC.
To find:
All the angles of the rhombus.
Solution:
When one side is equal to the diagonal AC , then all sides are equal to AC because all sides of rhombus are equal.
So, in △ABC, all sides are equal.
Let measure of angles in △ABC be x.
∴ =180 ° [∴ sum of angles is 180°in triangle ]
=180°
=60°
∴ ∠B=60°
In △ACD,
Let measure of angles in △ACD be x.
=180°
= 180°
=60°
∠D=60°
⇒∠A=60°+60°=120°
⇒∠B=60°+60°=120°
Therefore, the angles of rhombus ABCD are 120°,60°,120°,60°.
