PQRS is still a rhombus, right?

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Look at figure. Since we know angle 1 measures 53, and we know the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular, you have a traingle with a 53 deg measure and a 90 degree measure and one unknown. The sum of the measures of teh angles of a triangle is 180, so you have: m<2 + 53 + 90 = 180 m<2 + 143 = 180 m<2 = 37

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now for parts 3 and 4, this is what you need to know: The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.

Now you need to solve the system of equations in the drawing to get x and y.

Please don't make me solve that..I'm still confused from the first one.. math isn't my thing >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. I'm failing math with a 31:( I have As in everything but math..

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Solve y = x + 3 y + 1 = 3x + 2 Since the first equation is already solved for y, just insert what y is equal to (x + 3) into y of the second equation. x + 3 + 1 = 3x + 2 x + 4 = 3x + 2 -2x = -2 x = 1 Now insert the value of x (-1) into one of the original equations and solve for y: y = 1 + 3 y = 4

I'm great in all my other classes AP and ish. its just geometry A I suck at.

Thank you @mathstudent55
