Answer:

A: 12cm

B: 90 degrees

C: 60 degrees

Explanation:

A. Measure of GH is 1/4 of perimeter of 48 cm

48/4=12

a is 12cm

B. in a rhombus, diagonals are perpendicular,

FH and EG are perpendicular

So, angles EJF, GJF, GJH, and EJH are all right angles and equal 90 degrees

thus measure of angle EJF is 90 degrees

C.

First lets find the measure of EJF

Since all the inner angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees,

we can make an equation:

60+90+x=180

150+x=180

x=30

angles EFJ and EHJ are congruent, since opposite angles in a rhombus are congruent,

Also, angles EHJ and GHJ are congruent since the diagonals in a rhomus are angle bisectors

Thus EHJ=30 and GHJ=30

30+30=60

EHG = 60

so answer is 60 degrees
