In the given figure ABCD is a rhombus, the value of x is.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option 2: 50°
In rhombus ABCD:
Properties of a rhombus
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Adjacent angles are supplementary (sum = $180^\circ$).
- Diagonals bisect the vertex angles.
Step 1: Find angle A
Diagonal AC bisects $\angle A$.
Given:
$\angle BAC = 40^\circ$
So,
$\angle A = 2 \times 40^\circ = 80^\circ$
Step 2: Find angle D
Adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary:
$\angle D = 180^\circ - 80^\circ = 100^\circ$
Step 3: Use diagonal property
Diagonal BD bisects $\angle D$.
$x = \frac{100^\circ}{2} = 50^\circ$
