x=54^@x=54

Explanation:

"using the properties of the rhombus"using the properties of the rhombus

• " the diagonals bisect the angles" the diagonals bisect the angles

• " the diagonals bisect each other at right angles" the diagonals bisect each other at right angles

• " opposite sides are parallel" opposite sides are parallel

" BD is a diagonal and bisects "angleADC BD is a diagonal and bisects ADC

rArrangleADB=angleCDB=xADB=CDB=x

angleABD=angleCDB=x rarrcolor(blue)"alternate angles"ABD=CDB=xalternate angles

"the sum of the angles in the lower triangle" =180^@the sum of the angles in the lower triangle=180

rArr36^@+90^@+x=18036+90+x=180

rArrx=180-36-90=54^@x=1803690=54
