I understand that it is a rhombus, but how would I find the angle measurements?

OpenStudy (nikato):

So in a rhombus or parallelograms in general, opposite angles are congruent, which the opposite angle is also 116

OpenStudy (nikato):

And u should know that a quadrilateral is equal to 360. So it's 360-116-116 and you'll get the sum of the other two angles and u can divide that by 2 to find each angle. Follow so far? @dmalovesmusic

OpenStudy (nikato):

And u should know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect the angle so divide the answer again by 2.

I think I get it now, thank you!!
