1. **Problem Statement:** We have a rhombus with diagonals intersecting inside it, creating four smaller angles numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. One of the outer angles of the rhombus measures 59°.
2. **Key Properties of a Rhombus:**
- All sides are equal.
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90°).
- The diagonals split the rhombus into four right triangles.
3. **Using the property that diagonals intersect at 90°:**
The four angles formed at the intersection of the diagonals are right angles split into two pairs of equal angles because the diagonals bisect each other.
4. **Let angles 1 and 3 be equal, and angles 2 and 4 be equal:**
Since the diagonals intersect at 90°, we have:
$$\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 90^\circ$$
$$\angle 3 + \angle 4 = 90^\circ$$
And since \(\angle 1 = \angle 3\) and \(\angle 2 = \angle 4\), we focus on \(\angle 1\) and \(\angle 2\).
5. **Using the given outer angle of 59°:**
The outer angle adjacent to one vertex is 59°, so the interior angle at that vertex is:
$$180^\circ - 59^\circ = 121^\circ$$
6. **Relationship between interior angle and diagonal angles:**
Each interior angle of the rhombus is split by the diagonal into two angles, which correspond to angles 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4) at the intersection.
7. **Set up the equation:**
Since the diagonal bisects the interior angle, angles 1 and 2 add up to 121°:
$$\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 121^\circ$$
But from step 4, we have:
$$\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 90^\circ$$
This is a contradiction, so the diagonal does not bisect the interior angle but bisects the rhombus into right triangles.
8. **Correct approach:**
The diagonals intersect at 90°, so angles 1, 2, 3, and 4 satisfy:
$$\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 90^\circ$$
$$\angle 3 + \angle 4 = 90^\circ$$
And since the rhombus has interior angles 121° and 59° (opposite angles), the angles at the intersection relate to half of these angles.
9. **Calculate angles 1 and 2:**
Since the diagonals bisect the angles, we have:
$$\angle 1 = \frac{121^\circ}{2} = 60.5^\circ$$
$$\angle 2 = \frac{59^\circ}{2} = 29.5^\circ$$
10. **Verify sum at intersection:**
$$60.5^\circ + 29.5^\circ = 90^\circ$$
This matches the right angle formed by the diagonals.
11. **Therefore, the measures of the numbered angles are:**
$$\angle 1 = \angle 3 = 60.5^\circ$$
$$\angle 2 = \angle 4 = 29.5^\circ$$
**Final answer:**
Angles 1 and 3 measure 60.5°, and angles 2 and 4 measure 29.5° each.
