The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will address each part of the question separately. ### Part (i): Finding angles B and C 1. **Identify the properties of a rhombus**: In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal, and the sum of all angles is 360 degrees. 2. **Given information**: We know that angle A = 74 degrees. 3. **Set up the equation for the angles**: - Since angle A = angle C (opposite angles) and angle B = angle D (opposite angles), we can express the sum of the angles as: \[ \text{angle A} + \text{angle B} + \text{angle C} + \text{angle D} = 360^\circ \] - This can be rewritten using the known values: \[ 74^\circ + \text{angle B} + 74^\circ + \text{angle B} = 360^\circ \] 4. **Combine like terms**: - This simplifies to: \[ 148^\circ + 2 \times \text{angle B} = 360^\circ \] 5. **Isolate angle B**: - Subtract 148 degrees from both sides: \[ 2 \times \text{angle B} = 360^\circ - 148^\circ \] \[ 2 \times \text{angle B} = 212^\circ \] 6. **Divide by 2 to find angle B**: - Therefore: \[ \text{angle B} = \frac{212^\circ}{2} = 106^\circ \] 7. **Find angle C**: Since angle C = angle A, we have: - \[ \text{angle C} = 74^\circ \] ### Summary of Part (i): - Angle B = 106 degrees - Angle C = 74 degrees ### Part (ii): Finding sides BC and CD 1. **Given information**: We know that AD = 7.5 cm. 2. **Properties of a rhombus**: All sides of a rhombus are equal, meaning: - AB = BC = CD = AD 3. **Since AD = 7.5 cm**: - Therefore, BC = 7.5 cm and CD = 7.5 cm. ### Summary of Part (ii): - BC = 7.5 cm - CD = 7.5 cm ### Final Answers: - (i) Angle B = 106 degrees, Angle C = 74 degrees. - (ii) BC = 7.5 cm, CD = 7.5 cm.
