The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle \( \angle ADC \) in rhombus \( ABCD \) given that \( \angle ACB = 40^\circ \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the properties of the rhombus**: - In a rhombus, all sides are equal, and the opposite angles are equal. 2. **Recognize triangle \( ABC \)**: - Since \( ABCD \) is a rhombus, triangles \( ABC \) and \( ACB \) are isosceles because \( AB = AC \) (sides of the rhombus). 3. **Set up the angles in triangle \( ABC \)**: - We know that \( \angle ACB = 40^\circ \). - Let \( \angle CAB = \angle ABC = x \) (since \( ABC \) is isosceles). 4. **Use the triangle angle sum property**: - The sum of angles in triangle \( ABC \) is \( 180^\circ \): \[ \angle CAB + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ x + x + 40^\circ = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x + 40^\circ = 180^\circ \] 5. **Solve for \( x \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ 2x = 180^\circ - 40^\circ \] \[ 2x = 140^\circ \] \[ x = 70^\circ \] - Therefore, \( \angle CAB = \angle ABC = 70^\circ \). 6. **Find \( \angle ADC \)**: - Since opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, we have: \[ \angle ADC = \angle ABC = 70^\circ \] ### Final Answer: Thus, \( \angle ADC = 100^\circ \).
