is this < 1?

anonymous · Answer

yeah...srry it looks all confusing..

aroub · Answer

I think it's a rhombus...

akshay_budhkar · Answer

that angle 1 looks like a 90 degree angle

anonymous · Answer

How can it be taken as a Rhombus?

aroub · Answer

Yeah! and if it's a rhombus the diagonals are perpendicular..  
so ( I think) the answer is :

3y-6=90
3y=96
y=32

anonymous · Answer

thank you!!!!!

anonymous · Answer

32 is right THANK YOU!!!

akshay_budhkar · Answer

yeah thats what i think as well .. though the diagram looks confusing, why dont you try to take a snap shot and attach a file here?

aroub · Answer

& Hi Akshay! 

@ Abdul, because if you have two congruent consecutive  sides then quad is a rhombus...
