Answer:

D

Explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angles. So sneaky!!

So the third angle of the triangle containing the two base angles is 90 degrees.

  • 2x + 3 + 3x + 2 + 90 = 180 Combine like terms
  • 5x + 95 = 180 Subtract 95 from both sides
  • 5x = 180 - 95 Combine the terms on the right.
  • 5x = 85 Divide by 5
  • x = 85/5
  • x = 17
