The diagram is not to scale.

Since it is a rhombus opposite angles are congruent so
𝑚∠2 = 140.
140 + 140 + 𝑥 + 𝑥 = 360
280 + 2𝑥 = 360
2𝑥 = 80
𝑥 = 40
And a rhombus has diagonals that bisect the opposite
angles therefore 𝑚∠3 = 20.
Correct answer is B. 𝑚∠2 = 140, 𝑚∠3 = 20.

B. is a parallelogram with
perpendicular diagonals
C. has all right angles and has all
sides congruent
D. is both a rectangle and a
rhombus
12. Which description does NOT guarantee
that a quadrilateral is a square?
-has all sides congruent and all angles congruent
must be both rhombus and rectangle so square
-has all right angles and has all sides congruent
must be both rectangle and rhombus so square
-is both a rectangle and a rhombus
Therefore it is a square equal sides and all right angles.
BUT B. is a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals
A rhombus has perpendicular diagonals but it does not
have to be square, there fore the correct answer is B.

Not true could be a rhombus, kite, etc.
-All parallelograms are rectangles.
Not true could be a rhombus.
-All rectangles are squares.
Not true some do not have all sides congruent.
• All squares are rectangles.
This statement is always true to be a square it must

𝐼𝑓 𝑚∠𝐽 = 18𝑥 + 8 , 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚∠𝑀 = 11𝑥 + 15, 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑚∠𝐾
Base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
18𝑥 + 8 = 11𝑥 + 15
7𝑥 = 7
𝑥=1
Plugging back into the equations we see the following:
𝑚∠𝐽 = 18 1 + 8 = 26
𝑚∠𝑀 = 11 1 + 15 = 26
However the question asked for angle K which is supplementary
180 − 26 = 154
Correct answer then is B. 154.
