1. **Problem Statement:** ABCD is a rhombus where the altitude from vertex D to side AB bisects AB. We need to find the angles of the rhombus.
2. **Understanding the problem:** A rhombus has all sides equal and opposite angles equal. The altitude from D to AB is perpendicular to AB and bisects AB, meaning it hits AB at its midpoint.
3. **Key properties and formula:**
- Let the side length be $s$.
- Since altitude bisects AB, let midpoint be $M$.
- Altitude $DM$ is perpendicular to $AB$.
- In rhombus, diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
4. **Set up coordinate system:**
- Place $A$ at $(0,0)$ and $B$ at $(2a,0)$ so that $M$ is at $(a,0)$.
- Since $DM$ is altitude, $D$ lies on the line perpendicular to $AB$ at $M$, so $D$ is at $(a,h)$.
5. **Using side length equality:**
- $AB = 2a$.
- $AD = s = \sqrt{(a-0)^2 + (h-0)^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + h^2}$.
- $BD = s = \sqrt{(2a - a)^2 + (0 - h)^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + h^2}$.
6. **Since $AB$ is side length $s$, we have:**
$$s = 2a$$
7. **From above, $AD = s = \sqrt{a^2 + h^2}$, so:**
$$\sqrt{a^2 + h^2} = 2a$$
8. **Square both sides:**
$$a^2 + h^2 = 4a^2$$
$$h^2 = 3a^2$$
$$h = a\sqrt{3}$$
9. **Find angles:**
- Angle at $A$ is between $AB$ and $AD$.
- Vector $AB = (2a,0)$.
- Vector $AD = (a,h) = (a, a\sqrt{3})$.
10. **Calculate angle $\theta$ between $AB$ and $AD$ using dot product:**
$$\cos \theta = \frac{AB \cdot AD}{|AB||AD|} = \frac{2a \times a + 0 \times a\sqrt{3}}{2a \times 2a} = \frac{2a^2}{4a^2} = \frac{1}{2}$$
11. **Therefore:**
$$\theta = \cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = 60^\circ$$
12. **Since opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary:**
- Angles of rhombus are $60^\circ$ and $120^\circ$.
**Final answer:** The angles of the rhombus are $60^\circ$ and $120^\circ$.
