Question

The diagram shows a rhombus inside a regular hexagon.
Work out the size of angle x.

Answer 1

The answer to your problem is, 60

Explanation:

As shown, a rhombus inside a regular hexagon. The regular hexagon have 6 congruent angles, and the sum of the interior angles is 720°

So, the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon = 720/6 = 120°

The rhombus have 2 obtuse angles and 2 acute angles.

So, the measure of each acute angle of the rhombus = 180 - 120 = 60°

So, the measure of each acute angle of the rhombus + the measure of angle x

= the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon.

Equation 60 + x = 120x = 120 - 60 = 60°

Thus the answer to your problem is, 60
