Answer:

m<PQR = 82°

Explanation:

In a Rhombus, the diagonals bisect its angles. This means that they divide each the four angles into two equal parts.

Therefore:

(4x - 27)° = (2x + 7)°

Solve for x

4x - 27 = 2x + 7

Collect like terms

4x - 2x = 27 + 7

2x = 34

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 34/2

x = 17

✔️m<PQR = (4x - 27) + (2x + 7)

Plug in the value of x

m<PQR = (4*17 - 27) + (2*17 + 7)

m<PQR = 41 + 41

m<PQR = 82°
