1. **Problem statement:** Find the measure of angle 2 ($m\angle 2$) in the rhombus WUTV where angles at vertices V and W are each 28°.
2. **Properties of a rhombus:**
- All sides are equal in length.
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90°).
- Diagonals bisect the vertex angles.
3. Since $\angle V = 28^\circ$ and $\angle W = 28^\circ$, and opposite angles are equal, $\angle U = \angle T$.
4. The diagonals intersect at right angles, so the four angles formed at the intersection are all 90°.
5. The diagonals bisect the vertex angles, so each half of $\angle V$ and $\angle W$ is $\frac{28^\circ}{2} = 14^\circ$.
6. Angle 2 is adjacent to half of $\angle T$ and part of the right angle formed by the diagonals.
7. Since $\angle T$ is opposite $\angle V$, $\angle T = 28^\circ$.
8. The diagonal bisects $\angle T$, so half of $\angle T$ is $14^\circ$.
9. At the intersection, angle 2 plus half of $\angle T$ equals 90° because diagonals intersect at right angles:
$$m\angle 2 + 14^\circ = 90^\circ$$
10. Solve for $m\angle 2$:
$$m\angle 2 = 90^\circ - 14^\circ = 76^\circ$$
**Final answer:**
$$m\angle 2 = 76^\circ$$
