Answer:

C. 28

Explanation:

From the diagram diagram;
\angle BAC=(x+6)\degree and
\angle ABD=2x\degree.

  • The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel.
  • The diagonals act as transversals.
  • Therefore the co-interior angles will add up to 180 degrees.

The pair of co-interior angles are
\angle BAD and
\angle ABC.

Also the diagonals of a rhombus bisect corner angles.

This implies that:


\angle BAD=2(\angle BAC)\implies \angle BAD=2(x+6)\degree.


\angle ABC=2(\angle ABD)\implies \angle ABC=2(2x)\degree.

The co-interior angles are supplementary so we form the equation:


\angle BAD+\angle ABC=180\degree


\implies 2(x+6)\degree+2(2x)\degree=180\degree

Expand the parenthesis to get:


\implies 2x+12+4x=180\degree

Group the similar terms:


\implies 2x+4x=180-12

Simplify


\implies 6x=168

Divide both sides by 6.


\implies (6x)/(6)=(168)/(6)


\therefore x=28

The correct answer is C.
