Answer
(i) In a rhombus, all sides are equal.
⇒ AB = BC = CD = DA
And, opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.
∠BAC = ∠ACB
It is given that ∠BAC = 38°.
So, ∠ACB = ∠BAC = 38°.
Hence, the value of ∠ACB is 38°.
(ii) Since ABC is a triangle, the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.
Therefore,
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC + 38° + 38° = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC + 76° = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180° - 76°
⇒ ∠ABC = 104°
Since opposite angles of a rhombus are equal:
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ADC
⇒ ∠ADC = 104°
As AD = CD, we have:
∠DAC = ∠DCA
Now,
⇒ ∠DAC = [180° - 104°]
= [76°]
= 38°
Hence, the value of ∠DAC is 38°.
(iii) Since opposite angles of a rhombus are equal:
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ADC
⇒ ∠ADC = 104°
Hence, the value of ∠ADC is 104°.
