In the given rhombus, you have that the measure of angle EAB is

m∠EAB = 38⁰.

In order to determine the measure of angle EDC, you take into account that angle EAD and angle EAB together form a straight angle. Then, you have:

m∠EAB + m∠EAD = 180

m∠EAD = 180 - m∠EAB

m∠EAD = 180 - 38 = 142

Next, you consider that angle ADC is congruent to angle EAD:

m∠ADC = m∠EAD = 142

Finally, you take into account that angles ADC and EDC together form a straight angle:

m∠ADC + m∠EDC = 180

m∠EDC = 180 - m∠ADC

m∠EDC = 180 - 142 = 38

Hence, the measure of angle EDC is 38 degrees.
