Rhombus Angles Sides E8Ee89
1. **Problem:** Find the missing angle or side length in a rhombus given algebraic expressions.
2. **Important properties of a rhombus:**
- All sides are equal in length.
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180°).
- Diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
3. **Step 1: Solve for the first problem (angle at B in rhombus SBPQ with \(\angle Q = 80^\circ\))**
- Since opposite angles are equal, \(\angle B = \angle Q = 80^\circ\).
4. **Step 2: Find \(m\angle T\) in rhombus UST with diagonal segments \(12x - 5\) and angle \(14x\)**
- Diagonals bisect each other at right angles, so \(m\angle T = 90^\circ\).
5. **Step 3: Find \(m\angle RST\) in rhombus RSTQ with sides \(ST = 5x - 5\) and \(RQ = 5x + 10\)**
- Since all sides are equal, set \(5x - 5 = 5x + 10\).
- This leads to \(-5 = 10\), which is impossible, so check if sides are adjacent or opposite.
- If adjacent, use supplementary angles: \(m\angle RST + m\angle STQ = 180^\circ\).
- Without more info, cannot solve.
6. **Step 4: Find \(x\) in rhombus LMKJ with sides \(LM = 1 + 5x\) and \(KL = -3 + 6x\)**
- Since all sides equal, set \(1 + 5x = -3 + 6x\).
- Solve: \(1 + 5x = -3 + 6x\)
- \(1 + 5x - 6x = -3\)
- \(1 - x = -3\)
- \(-x = -4\)
- \(x = 4\)
7. **Step 5: Find \(x\) in rhombus KJLM with sides \(JK = 2x + 20\) and \(ML = x + 20\)**
- Set equal: \(2x + 20 = x + 20\)
- \(2x - x = 20 - 20\)
- \(x = 0\)
**Final answers:**
- \(\angle B = 80^\circ\)
- \(m\angle T = 90^\circ\)
- \(x = 4\) in LMKJ
- \(x = 0\) in KJLM
Note: Problem 3 lacks sufficient info to solve.
