Question

In the rhombus :Angle 1 = 140 What are Angle 2 and Angle 3? The diagram is not to scale.


A. Angle 2 = 40 and Angle 3 = 70
B. Angle 2 = 140 and Angle 3 = 20
C. Angle 2 = 40 and Angle 3 = 20
D. Angle 2 = 140 and Angle 3 = 70

Answer 1

Let me ask you:all the angles of the rombus amount to ????

Answer 2

idk shapes

Answer 3

imagine it is a square. all the four right angles amount to?

Answer 4

4 sides

Answer 5

how many degrees in a right angle?

Answer 6

140

Answer 7

please, google right angle an come back to me

Answer 8

ok sorry 90

Answer 9

then four right angles amount to...?

Answer 10

360

Answer 11

excellent. Same thing happens in a rhombus (it is sort of a cousin of the square). Now you know all the angles amount to 360 degrees in the rhombus. I will give you one more clue:
Opposite angles are equal so: Angle1=Angle2 and Angle3=Angle4(which is not drawn)
Do you follow?

Answer 12

yes i follow

Answer 13

Then, angle 2= angle 1=140, ok?

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

If angle 1=angle 2= 140, how much is angle 1+angle 2?

Answer 16

60 and 80 which equals 140

Answer 17

Please, read carefully my question

Answer 18

280

Answer 19

Good, then how many degrees out of 360 are left for Angle 3 and 4

Answer 20

80 right?

Answer 21

and that you have to split in two angles that are equal. Then each one is?

Answer 22

40 and 40

Answer 23

That is right and I see it is not among your choices. Tell your teacher

Answer 24

ok i will thannk u

Answer 25

That's because angle 3 is half of 40 (it's 20). Notice the line going through the middle of the shape, the angle labeled 3 is only talking about half of the full corners angle, it's only asking for the bottom half of that angle.

Answer 26

gosh it's like I forgot how to write properly when I wrote that comment... hope you still understand what I meant though your teacher should have told you what you're doing wrong by now.
