The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning provided in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the Properties of the Rhombus A rhombus is a type of quadrilateral where all sides are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90 degrees). This means that the diagonals divide the rhombus into four right triangles. **Hint:** Recall the properties of a rhombus, particularly how its diagonals interact with the angles. ### Step 2: Set Up the Problem We are given that angle BCA = 35 degrees. We need to find angle ADC. Let's denote angle ADC as X. **Hint:** Label the angles clearly in your diagram to avoid confusion. ### Step 3: Identify Relevant Angles In triangle OBC (where O is the intersection of the diagonals), we know: - Angle BCA = 35 degrees - Angle OBC = X/2 (because angles on either side of the diagonal are equal) **Hint:** Use the property of angles being equal when split by a diagonal. ### Step 4: Apply the Angle Sum Property of Triangle OBC The sum of the angles in triangle OBC is equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ \text{Angle OBC} + \text{Angle BOC} + \text{Angle BCA} = 180^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{X}{2} + 90^\circ + 35^\circ = 180^\circ \] **Hint:** Remember that one angle in triangle OBC is 90 degrees due to the properties of the rhombus. ### Step 5: Simplify the Equation Now, simplify the equation: \[ \frac{X}{2} + 125^\circ = 180^\circ \] Subtract 125 degrees from both sides: \[ \frac{X}{2} = 180^\circ - 125^\circ \] \[ \frac{X}{2} = 55^\circ \] **Hint:** Keep track of your arithmetic to ensure accuracy. ### Step 6: Solve for X Now, multiply both sides by 2 to find X: \[ X = 2 \times 55^\circ \] \[ X = 110^\circ \] **Hint:** Double-check your multiplication to confirm the final value. ### Conclusion Thus, angle ADC = 110 degrees. **Final Answer:** Angle ADC = 110 degrees.
