Answer:

14. ∠UVS = 63.6°

15. ∠TWU = 90°

16. ∠TUV = 116.4°

17. UW = √111 ≈ 10.5

18. SU = 2√111 ≈ 21.1

19. VT = 34

Explanation:

The relevant relations for a rhombus are ...

  • diagonals bisect each other at right angles, dividing the figure into 4 congruent right triangles
  • the diagonals bisect the vertex angles
  • adjacent vertex angles are supplementary

__

14.

Angle UVS is double the measure of angle UVW. 2×31.8° = 63.6°.

angle UVS = 63.6°

__

15.

As we said above, the angles where the diagonals cross are right angles.

angle TWU = 90°

__

16.

Angle TUV is supplementary to angle UVS. 180° -63.6° = 116.4°

angle TUV = 116.4°

__

17.

UW is found using the Pythagorean theorem.

UW² +TW² = TU²

UW² = TU² -TW² = 20² -17² = 111

UW = √111 ≈ 10.536

__

18.

The whole diagonal is twice the measure of half of it. SU = 2×UW

SU = 2√111 ≈ 20.071

__

19.

The whole diagonal is twice the measure of half of it. 2×17 = 34

VT = 34
