In the rhombus, angle1 = 18x, angle2 = x + y, and angle3 = 30z. Find the value of the variables x,y, and z. The diagram is not to scale.
You can take z any number that make x and y positive. For example if z =3, x=5 and y=85, then angle1=90 angle2=90 angle3= 90 hence angle4=90
This would work too \[ \begin{array}{ccc} z=1, & x=\frac{5}{3}, & y=\frac{445}{3} \end{array} \]\[ angle1= 30\\ angle2=\frac {450}3 =150 angle3 = 30 angle4 =150 \] There are infinite solutions for your problem.
\[\begin{array}{ccc} z=1, & x=\frac{5}{3}, & y=\frac{445}{3} \end{array} \] \[ angle1= 30\\ angle2=\frac {450}3 =150\\ angle3 = 30\\ angle4 =150\\ \]
If you solve these two equations: \[ 18 x+x+y=180\\ 30 z=18 x \] you get \[ \begin{array}{cc} x=\frac{5 z}{3}, & y=180-\frac{95 z}{3} \end{array} \] Take any z that makes y >0 and you get a solution.
