Solution
Suppose ABCD is a rhombus.
Let m∠A = 50º
Opposite angles of a rhombus are congruentes.
∴ m∠C = m∠A = 50º and m∠B = m∠D
Now,
m∠A + m∠B + m∠C + m∠D = 360º
∴ 50º + m∠B + 50º + m∠D = 360º
⇒ m∠B + m∠D = 360º − 100º = 260º
⇒ 2 m∠B = 260º ...(m∠B = m∠D)
⇒ m∠B = `(260°)/2` = 130°
∴ m∠D = m∠B = 130º
Thus, the measures of the remaining angles of the rhombus are 130º, 50º, and 130º.
