AI Thread 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?

Yup. Good job : )
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
