Rhombus LMNO has a diagonal line MO¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ , with m∠M=74° . What is m∠LOM ?

1 answer

In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles and also bisect the angles of the rhombus. Given that \( m\angle M = 74^\circ \), we can determine the other angles using the properties of a rhombus.

  1. Since the diagonals bisect the angles, we know that \( m\angle LOM \) will be half of \( m\angle M \). Therefore, we can calculate \( m\angle LOM \):

    \[ m\angle LOM = \frac{1}{2} m\angle M = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 74^\circ = 37^\circ \]

Thus, \( m\angle LOM = 37^\circ \).
