x = measure of angle 1
y = measure of angle 2
z = measure of angle 3
w = measure of angle 4

Focus on the bottom triangle. The three angles add to 180 degrees
(angle 2) + (angle 3) + 116 = 180
y+z+116 = 180
y+z= 180-116
y+z= 64

Since we have the bottom triangle as isosceles, this means that y = z, so
y+z = 64
y+y = 64
2y = 64
y = 64/2
y = 32
making z = 32 as well

Similarly, angle 1 and angle 4 are 32 degrees because the 116 angle is opposite the top left-most angle, and congruent to this angle. In other words, the bottom triangle is a mirror image of the top triangle.

The figure is a rhombus because all four sides are the same length (as shown by the tickmarks)

Answer:
This figure is a rhombus
All four angles (angle 1 through angle 4) are the same measure. They are each 32 degrees
