A quadrilateral contains 360 degrees interior.|dw:1396993141896:dw| So that leaves 160 degrees for the remaining two angles. They will be equal to one another, so 80 each, yes?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So does that give you enough information to find dbc?|dw:1396993191894:dw|

Yes, but im still not sure how to show the work for finding this answer...

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So the last step is to just cut the angle in half right? Ok so to justify your steps... Start by saying that `opposite angles are congruent` in a rhombus, therefore angle a = 100.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The rest of the steps shouldn't be too bad, yes? Look back at my notes +_+ how many degrees do the interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to? Then to split that amount in half, you justify that by using the same rule we used in the first step.
