Answer:

∠ 2 = 160° , ∠ 3 = 10°

Explanation:

The opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent , then

∠ 2 = ∠ 1 = 160°

The triangle has 2 congruent sides and is isosceles with base angles being congruent , then

∠ 3 =
(180-160)/(2) =
(20)/(2) = 10°

Answer:

m∠3 = 10° || m∠2 = 160°

Explanation:

if m∠1 = 160°

then m∠2 = 160°

The triangle is isosceles.

therefore

m∠3 + m∠3 + 160° = 180°

2 m∠3 = 180° - 160°

2 m∠3 = 20°

m∠3 = 10°
