Question:

In the given figure ABCD is a rhombous, if ∠ACD = 40°, then x is:

Options:

50°

40°

60°

90°

Correct Answer:

50°

Explanation:

In a rhombus opposite angles are equal and diagonals bisect each others at right angle.

\(\angle\) ACD = \(\angle\) CAD = 40°

\(\angle\) CAD = \(\angle\) CAB = 40°     [diagonal bisect the angles]

In ΔABO,

\(\angle\) AOB = 90° , \(\angle\) OAB = 40°

Therefore, 

\(\angle\) ABO = x° = 90° - 40° = 50°
