Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other, then

∠ 1 = 90°

AB and CD are parallel ( opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel )

∠ 2 and 51° are alternate angles and are congruent , then

∠ 2 = 51°

the diagonals bisect the angles , then

∠ 3 = ∠ 2 = 51°

the sum of the 3 angles , in the triangle with ∠ 4 sum to 180°

∠ 1 + ∠ 3 + ∠ 4 = 180°

90° + 51° + ∠ 4 = 180°

141° + ∠ 4 = 180° ( subtract 141° from both sides )

∠ 4 = 39°

then

∠ 1 = 90° , ∠ 2 = 51° , ∠ 3 = 51° , ∠ 4 = 39°
