Click For Summary
The angle between the diagonal and the side of the rhombus is 22º30’. The interior angles of a rhombus total 360º, with opposing angles being congruent. The calculations show that angle B is 45º, derived from doubling 22º30’. Consequently, angles C and E are both 135º, confirming the angle relationships in the rhombus. The calculations are correct, validating the findings.

The angle between the diagonal and the side of the rhombus is 22º30’. Find rhombus angles.
Rhombus interior angles are 360º that much I know, but how do I find out the other angles?

Just remember that by definition, a rhombus is always going to be congruent on opposing sides of each diagonal. See if this helps you get started...

B=22º30’*2=45º
B=45º
D=45º

45º+C=180º
C=135º
E=135º

Did I do it right?
