In the rhombus, what is x?
- A.
90
- B.
38
- C.
128
- D.
180
Correct Answer
B. 38Explanation
Since a rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides equal in length, we can conclude that the opposite angles are also equal. Therefore, the sum of the angles in a rhombus is 360 degrees. Since we are given that one angle is 90 degrees, we can subtract this from 360 to find the sum of the remaining three angles. 360 - 90 = 270 degrees. Since all three remaining angles are equal, we divide 270 by 3 to find the measure of each angle. 270 / 3 = 90 degrees. Since we are asked for the measure of angle x, and we know that one angle is 90 degrees, the remaining angle must be 90 degrees. Hence, the correct answer is 38.Rate this question:

In the trapezoid below, what is the measure of angle A?
- A.
103°
- B.
77°
- C.
90°
- D.
180°
Correct Answer
A. 103°Explanation
The measure of angle A in the trapezoid is 103°. This can be determined by using the fact that the angles in a trapezoid add up to 360°. Since the other three angles are given as 77°, 90°, and 180°, we can subtract the sum of these angles from 360° to find angle A. Therefore, 360° - (77° + 90° + 180°) = 103°.Rate this question:

In the trapezoid below, what is x if AD=14 and BC=7+2x?
- A.
7
- B.
3.5
- C.
14
- D.
10.5
Correct Answer
B. 3.5Explanation
In a trapezoid, the two parallel sides are called bases. In this question, AD is one of the bases and BC is the other base. It is given that AD is 14 and BC is equal to 7 plus 2x. To find the value of x, we can set up an equation. We know that the two bases are equal in length in a trapezoid, so we can set AD equal to BC. Therefore, we have the equation 14 = 7 + 2x. By solving this equation, we find that x is equal to 3.5.Rate this question:
