Exercise 14.1
Question 1.

Three angles of a quadrilateral are respectively equal to 110°, 50° and 40°. Find its fourth angles.


Answer:

Given,


Three angles of quadrilateral = 110, 50, 40


Let fourth angle be = X


As we know sum of all angles of a quadrilateral =360


So,


110+50+40+X = 360


X= 360 - 200=160



Question 2.

In a quadrilateral ABCD, the angles A, B, C and D are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 4 : 5. Find the measure of each angles of the quadrilateral.


Answer:

Given,


In quadrilateral ABCD,


A:B:C:D = 1:2:3:4:5


Let angles A, B, C, D = x, 2x, 4x, 5x


So,


x+2x+4x+5x = 360


12x = 360



So,







Question 3.

In a quadrilateral ABCD, CO and DO are the bisectors of ∠C and ∠D respectively. Prove that ∠COD = (∠A+∠B).


Answer:

Given,


In quadrilateral ABCD,


CO is the bisector of ∠C


DO is the bisector of ∠D


In ΔCOD



⇒ ∠COD =


⇒ ∠D+∠C = 360 – (∠A+∠B)


SO,


⇒ ∠COD =


⇒ ∠COD = (∠A+∠B) Proved.



Question 4.

The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.


Answer:

Given,


Ratio of angles of quadrilateral = 3:5:9:13


Let angles are = 3x, 5x, 9x, 13x


So,


3x+5x+9x+13x = 360


30x = 360



Angles would be =


3x = 3×12 = 36


5x = 5×12 = 60


9x = 9×12 = 108


13x = 13×12 = 156




Exercise 14.2
Question 1.

Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x-2)° and (50-x)°. Find the measure of each angle of the parallelogram.


Answer:

Given,


Two opposite angles of a parallelogram (3x - 2) and (50 – x)


Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal,


3x – 2 = 50 – x


4x = 52


X = 13


So, angles are


3x – 2 = 3×13-2 = 37


50 – x = 50 -13 = 37


Sum of other two angles = 360 - 2×37 = 360 – 74 = 286


So each angle will be =



Question 2.

If an angle of a parallelogram is two-third of its adjacent angle, find the angles of the parallelogram.


Answer:

Given,


In a parallelogram



Let angle = x


So


We know that opposite angles of parallelogram are equal


So, four angles will be =


And




So, x = 108


Adjacent angles will be =


Angles are = 108, 108, 72 and 72



Question 3.

Find the measure of all the angles of a parallelogram, if one angle is 24° less than twice the smallest angle.


Answer:

Given,


Let the smallest angle = x


Than the other angle = (2x – 24)°


So,


x+x+2x – 24 + 2x – 24 = 360


6x = 360 + 48 = 408



Other angles = 2x – 24 = 2×68 – 24 = 136-24 = 112


Angles are = 68, 68, 112, 112



Question 4.

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 22 cm. If the longer side measures 6.5 cm. what is the measure of the shorter side?


Answer:

Given,


Peremeter of parallelogram = 22cm


Longer side = 6.5cm


Let shorter side be = x cm


So,


2(6.5 + x) = 22cm


13.0 + 2x = 22cm


2x = 22 – 13 = 9cm




Question 5.

In a parallelpgram ABCD, ∠D=135°, determine the measures of ∠A and ∠B.


Answer:

Given,


In a parallelogram ABCD


∠D= 135


∠C + ∠D = 180.. (supplementary angles)


∠C = 180 - 135 = 45


∠C = ∠A and ∠D = ∠B.. (Opposite angles of parallelogram)


∠A = 45


∠B = 135



Question 6.

ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠A=70°. Compute ∠B, ∠C and ∠D.


Answer:

Given,


In a parallelogram ABCD,


∠A =70


∠A + ∠B = 180.. (supplementary angles)


∠B = 180 – 70 = 110


∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D.. (Opposite angles of parallelogram)


∠A = 70, ∠B = 110, ∠C = 70, ∠D = 110



Question 7.

In Fig. 14.34, ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠A=60°. If the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet at P, prove that AD=DP, PC=BC and DC=2AD.



Answer:

Given,


In a parallelogram ABCD,


∠A = 60


So,


∠B = 180 – 60 = 120 (supplementary angles)


∠ABP = ∠PCB =


∠DPA = ∠BAP = 30 (AB parallel to DC and AP intersects them)


∠DPA = ∠DAP = 30


AD = DP... (i) (proved)


Similarly,


∠BPC = ∠ABP = 60


In triangle BPC , ∠BPC = ∠PBC = 60


BC = CP = AD... (ii) (proved)


BC = AD


From equation (i) and (ii),


CP = DP


DC = 2AD (proved)



Question 8.

In Fig. 14.35, ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠DAB =75° and ∠DBC = 60°. Compute ∠CDB and ∠ADB.



Answer:

Given,


In a parallelogram ABCD,


∠DAB = 75


∠DBC = 60


∠A + ∠B = 180 (supplementary angles)


∠B = 180 – 75 = 105


∠DBA +∠DBC = 105


∠DBA = 105 – 60 = 45


In a triangle ABD


∠DAB + ∠DBA + ∠ADB = 180


75 + 45 + ∠ADB = 180


∠ADB = 180 -120 = 60


∠A = ∠C = 75 (opposite angles of parallelogram)


∠C + ∠D = 180 (supplementary angles of parallelogram)


∠D = 180 – 75 = 105


∠ADB + ∠CDB = 105


∠CDB = 105 - ∠ADB


∠CDB = 105 – 60 = 45



Question 9.

In Fig. 14.36, ABCD is a parallelogram and E is the mid-point of side BC. If DE and AB when produced meet at F, prove that AF=2AB.



Answer:

Given,


In a parallelgram ABCD,


E = mid point of side BC


AD ⎸⎸BC


AD ⎸⎸BE


E is mid point of BC


So, in ΔDEC and ΔBEF


BE = EC.. (E is the mid point)


∠DEC = ∠BEF


∠DCB = ∠FBE (vertically opposite angles)


So, ΔDEC ≅ ΔBEF


DC = FB


=AB+DC = FB+AB


=2AB =AF (proved)



Question 10.

Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F)?
(i) In a parallelogram, the diagonals are equal.
(ii) In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other.
(iii) In a parallelogram, the diagonals intersect each other at right angles.
(iv) In any quadrilateral, if a pair of opposite sides is equal, it is a parallelogram.
(v) If all the angles of a quadrilateral are equal, it is a parallelogram.
(vi) If three sides of a quadrilateral are equal, it is a parallelogram.
(vii) If three angles of a quadrilateral are equal, it is a parallelogram.
(viii)If all the sides of a quadrilateral are equal it is a parallelogram.


Answer:

(i) False

Reason: Imagine a parallelogram and draw its diagonals. Now the areas of the two triangles on one of the bases is equal. But by Heron's formula, the areas are not equal and if the areas are not equal how can be the diagonals because area can only be equal if both the triangles have equal diagonals.

(ii) True

Proof:

Let’s take a parallelogram ABCD,

The diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O,

AO = OC and BO = OD

In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,

We have

∠BAO = ∠OCD (alternate interior angles)

∠AOB = ∠CDO (alternate interior angles)

AB = DC (opposite sides)

ΔAOB≅ΔCOD (by ASA)

AO = OC and DO = OB

(iii) False

According to the definition a parallelogram is a simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of aparallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.

It turns out that a parallelogram has its diagonalsmeeting at right angles if and only if the parallelogram is a rhombus (all sides equal).

(iv) True

Reason: Let’s take ABCD is a quadrilateral,

Where AB = CD & AD = BC

We have to prove : ABCD is a parallelogram

Join AC, it’s a diagonal

In ΔABC and ΔCDA

AB = CD

BC = DA

AC = CA

ΔABC≅ΔCDA

Hence,

∠BAC = ∠DCA

For lines AB and CD with transversal AC,

∠BAC & ∠DCA are alternate angles and are equal.

So, AB and CD lines are parallel.

∠BCA = ∠DAC

For lines AD and BC with transversal AC,

∠BCA & ∠DAC are alternate angles and are equal.

So, AD and BC lines are parallel.

Thus in ABCD,

Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel,

So, ABCD is a parallelgram.

(v) False

Reason: If all the angles of a quadrilateral are equal, then it’s a rectangle.

(vi) False

Reason:

As we know that the opposite or facing sides of aparallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.

In case of square and rhombus all side are equal, but if three sides are equal then it doesn’t satisfied the property of parallelogram.

(vii) False

Reason:

Same reason as for the sides, it does not satisfied the property of a parallelogram.

(viii) True

Yes if all side of a parallelogram than it’s a square or rhombus.



Exercise 14.3
Question 1.

In a parallogram ABCD, determine the sum of angles ∠C and ∠D.


Answer:

Given,


In a parallelogram ABCD,


∠C and ∠D are supplementary angles of parallelogram


So, ∠C + ∠D = 180



Question 2.

In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠B=135°, determine the measures of its other angles.


Answer:

Given,


∠B = 135


∠A + ∠B = 180 (supplementary angles of parallelogram)


∠A = 180 – 135 = 45


∠C = ∠A = 45 (opposite angles of parallelogram)


∠D = ∠B = 135



Question 3.

ABCD is a square. AC and BD intersect at O. State the measure of ∠AOB.


Answer:

Given,


ABCD is a square


AC and BD intersects at O


∠AOB = 90 (diagonals of square bisects each other at 90)



Question 4.

ABCD is a rectangle with ∠ABD=40°. Determine ∠DBC.


Answer:

Given,


ABCD is a rectangle


∠ABD = 40


∠ABD + ∠DBC = 90 (angles of rectangle)


∠DBC = 90 – 40 = 50



Question 5.

The sides AB and CD of a parallelogram ABCD are bisected at E and F. Prove that EBFD is a parallelogram.


Answer:

Given,


In a parallelogram ABCD


AB & CD bisect at E & F



AB ⎸⎸CD


AB = DC


EB ⎸⎸DF


So, EB = DF



So, EBFD is a parallelogram.



Question 6.

P and Q are the points of trisection of the diagonal BD of a parallelogram ABCD. Prove that CQ is parallel to AP. Proves also that AC bisects PQ.


Answer:

Given,


In a parallelogram ABCD


Since diagonal of parallelogram bisects each other


OA = OC and OB = OD


Since P&Q are the point of trisection of BD


BP = PQ = QD



Now, OB = OD and BP = QD


OB-BP = OD-QD


OP = OQ


Diagonals of quadrilateral bisect each other


Hence, APCQ is a parallelogram.



Question 7.

ABCD is a square E, F, G and H are points on AB, BC, CD and DA respectively, such that AE=BF=CG=DH. Prove that EFGH is a square.


Answer:

Given,


ABCD is a square


E,F,G,H are the points of AB, BC, CD, DA


Such that AE = BF = CG = DH


In ΔAEH & ΔBFE


Let,


AE = BF = CG = DH = x


BE = CF = DG = AF = y



In ΔAEH & ΔBFE


AE = BF (given)


∠A = ∠B (each equal)


AH = BE


So, by SAS congruency


ΔAEH ≅ΔBFE


∠1 = ∠2 & ∠3 = ∠4


∠1 + ∠3 = 90


∠2 + ∠4 = 90


∠1+∠2+∠3+∠4 = 180


∠1+∠4+∠1+∠4 = 180


2(∠1+∠4) = 180


∠1+∠4 = = 90


So, ∠HEF = 90


Similarly we have,


∠F =∠G = ∠H = 90


Hence, EFGH is a square.



Question 8.

ABCD is a rhombus, EABF is a straight line such that EA=AB=BF. Prove that ED and FC when produced meet at right angles.


Answer:

Given,


ABCD is a rhombus,


EABF is a straight line


EA = AB = BF


OA = OC


OB = OD (diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular bisector of each other)


∠AOD = ∠COD = 90


∠AOB = ∠COB = 90



In ΔBDE,


A and O are mid points of BE and BD


OA ⎸⎸DE


OC ⎸⎸DG


In ΔCFA


B and O are the mid points of AF and AC


OB ⎸⎸CF and


OD ⎸⎸GC


Thus in quadrilateral DOCG


OC ⎸⎸DG and


OD ⎸⎸GC


DOCG is a parallelogram


∠DGC = ∠DOC


∠DGC = 90 (proved)



Question 9.

ABCD is a parallelogram, AD is produced to E so that DE=DC and EC produced meets AB produced in F. Prove that BF=BC.


Answer:

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram,

Diagram:


To Prove:
BF = BC

Proof:

In ΔACE


D and O are the mid points of AE and AC


DO ⎸⎸EC


OB ⎸⎸CF and AB = BF → (i)


DC = BF (AB = DC as ABCD is a parallelogram and opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallelP))

In ΔEDC and ΔCBF


DC = BC


∠EDC = ∠CBF


∠ECD = ∠CFB


So, by ASA congruency


ΔEDC≅ΔCBF


DE = BC


DC = BC


AB = BC


BF = BC ( AB = BF from (i) )



Exercise 14.4
Question 1.

In a ΔABC, D, E and F are, respectively, the mid points of BC, CA and AB. If the lengths of side AB, BC and CA are 7 cm, 8 cm and 9 cm, respectively, find the perimeter of ΔDEF.


Answer:

So,





So, perimeter of DEF


DE+EF+DF = 4+3.5+4.5 = 12cm



Question 2.

In a triangle ∠ABC, ∠A =50°, ∠B =60° and ∠C = 70°. Find the measure of the angles of the triangle formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of this triangle.


Answer:

Given,


In a ΔABC


∠A =50°


∠B =60°


∠C = 70°


Let DEF are mid point of ΔABC


BDEF and CDFE are parallelogram


∠B = ∠E & ∠C = ∠F


∠E = 60°


∠F = 70°



Similarly


∠D = ∠A


∠D = 50°



Question 3.

In a triangle, P, Q and R are the mid-points of sides BC, CA and AB respectively. If AC = 21 cm, BC = 29 cm and AB= 30 cm, find the perimeter of the quadrilateral ARPQ.


Answer:

Given,


In ΔABC


P, Q and R are the mid-points of sides BC, CA and AB


AC = 21cm


BC = 29cm


AB = 30cm


Since ARPQ is a parallelogram


Peremeter of parallelogram ARPQ = 2(AP+AQ)


AB+AC = 30+21 = 51cm



Question 4.

In a ΔABC, median AD is produced to X such that AD=DX. Prove that ABXC is a parallelogram.


Answer:

Given,


In ΔABC,



AD is produced to X


AD=DX


In quadrilateral ABXC


AD=DX (Given)


BD = DC (given)


So diagonal AX and BC bisect eachother


Therefore ABXC is a parallelogram.
