Answer:

Diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angles

Therefore,
$\angle AOD=90$

$Now,in\: \bigtriangleup AOD$

$\angle OAD+\angle AOD+\angle ADO=180$

x+90+3x+12=180
$\leftarrow [combing \: like\: terms]$

$4x+102=180\\-102 \: -102$
$\leftarrow [subtracting \:102 ]$

$(4x)/(4) =(78)/(4) \leftarrow [dividing \: by\: 4]$

x=19.5
$\Longleftarrow$
