Chapter Nine Quadrilaterals

1. Given an angle of 83° in a figure involving a parallelogram and square, the problem finds the value of another angle to be 38°. 2. In a figure involving a rhombus, given an angle of 76° and information about equal and perpendicular lines, the problem finds the value of another angle to be 44°. 3. In a rectangle problem involving lengths of sides and an unknown angle x, the problem finds one length to be 2 and the angle x to be 82.8°.
