Question 2.

The angels of a quadrilateral are in the ration 1:2:3:4. Find the measure of each angle.


Answer:

36o,72o,108o,144o


Let x be the common multiple.


As per question,


A = x


B = 2x


C = 3x


D = 4x


As we know that, Sum of all four angles of quadrilateral is 360o.


A + B + C + D = 360°


x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 360°


10x = 360°


X= 360/10


= 36°


A = 1 X 36° = 36°


B = 2 X 36° = 72°


C = 3 X 36° = 108°


D = 4 X 36° = 144°


So, Angles of quadrilateral are 36°, 72°, 108° and 144°.



Question 3.

Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are the ration 2:3. Find the measure of each of its angles.


Answer:

A = 72°,B = 108°,C = 72°,D = 108°


Let x be the common multiple.


As per question,


A = 2x


B = 3x


C = 2x


D = 3x


A + B = 180° (Adjacent angles of parallelogram is supplementary)


2x + 3x = 180°


5x = 180°


X = 180 / 5 = 36°


A = 2 × 36° = 72°


B = 3 × 36° = 108°


C = 2 × 36° = 72°


D = 3 × 36° = 108°


So, Angles of quadrilateral are 72°, 108°, 72° and 108°.



Question 4.

The sides of rectangle are in the ration 4:5 and its perimeter is 180 cm. Find its sides.


Answer:

40 cm, 50 cm


Let x be the common multiple.


As per question,


Length = 4x


Width = 5x


As per formula,


Perimeter = 2× (l + w)


180 = 2× (4x + 5x)


180 = 18x


x = 10


So,


Length = 40 cm


Width = 50 cm



Question 5.

Prove that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.


Answer:


Let ABCD be a rhombus whose diagonal AC and BD intersect at the point O.


As we know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other and rhombus is a parallelogram.


So, OA=OC and OB=OD.


From ∆ COB and ∆ COD we get,


CB = CD (sides of rhombus) and


CO is common in both the triangles.


So, OB = OD


Therefore, by SSS theorem.


∆ COB ≅ ∆ COD


COB = COD


COB + COD = 180° (Linear pair of angles)


Thus, COB = COD = 90°


Hence, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.



Question 6.

The diagonals of a rhombus are 16 cm and 12 cm. Find the length of each side of the rhombus.


Answer:

10 cm


Rhombus forms four congruent right triangles.


Sides of each triangle will be half of rhombus diagonals. i.e. 16/2 = 8 cm and 12/2 = 6 cm


According to Pythagoras theorem,


a2 = b2 + c2


a2 = 82 + 62


a = √ (82+62)


a = √ (64+36)


a = √ 10


a = 10 cm


So, Sides of rhombus is 10cm.



Question 7.

Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x-2)o and (50-x)o. The measures of all its angles are
A. 97°, 83°, 97°, 83°

B. 37°, 143°, 37°, 143°

C. 76°, 104°, 76°, 104°

D. none of these


Answer:

To Find: All angles of a parallelogram
Given: Opposite angles are (3x - 2) and (50 - x)
Diagram:

Let the parallelogram be ABCD, and opposite angles be ∠B and ∠D, such that
∠A = (3x - 2)
∠C = (50 - x)

∠B = ∠D (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)

3x - 2 = 50 - x

3x + x = 50 + 2

4x = 52°

x = 13°

Putting the value of x, we get,
∠B = 3(13) - 2 = 37°
∠D = 50 - 13 = 37°
Also.
∠A = ∠C (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
By angle sum property of quadrilateral,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
37° + ∠A + 37° + ∠C = 360°
2∠A + 74 =360°
2∠A = 286°
∠A = 143°
Hence,
∠A = ∠C =143°

So, Angles of parallelogram is 37°, 143°, 37° and 143°.


Question 8.

The angles of quadrilateral are in the ration 1:3:7:9. The measure of the largest angle is
A. 63°

B. 72°

C. 81°

D. none of these


Answer:

Let x be the common multiple.


As per question,


A = x


B = 3x


C = 7x


D = 9x


As we know that, Sum of all four angles of quadrilateral is 360o.


A + B + C + D = 360°


x + 3x + 7x + 9x = 360°


20x = 360°


X= 360/20


= 18°


A = 1 × 18° = 18°


B = 3 × 18° = 54°


C = 7 × 18° = 126°


D = 9 × 18° = 162°


So, largest angle of quadrilateral is 162°.


Question 9.

The length of a rectangle is 8 cm and each of its diagonals measures 10 cm. The breadth of the rectangle is
A. 5 cm

B. 6 cm

C. 7 cm

D. 9 cm


Answer:

A rectangle can be divided into two triangles.


Sides of each triangle will be 8cm and 10 cm.


According to Pythagoras theorem,


a2 = b2 + c2


102 = 82 + c2


c = √ (102 – 82)


c =


c = 6 cm


So, breadth of rectangle is 6 cm.


Question 10.

In a square PQRS, if PQ=(2x+3) and QR=(3x-5) cm then
A. x=4

B. x=5

C. x=6

D. x=8


Answer:

As we know that, all sides of square are equal.


So, according to question,


2x + 3 = 3x -5


X = 8.


So, Sides of square is 8 cm.


Question 11.

The bisectors of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram intersect at
A. 30°

B. 45°

C. 60°

D. 90°


Answer:


Let ABCD is a parallelogram.


The angle bisectors AE and BE of adjacent angles A and B meet at E.


AD || BC (Opposite sides of ||gm)


∠DAB + ∠CBA = 180°


2∠EAB + 2∠EBA = 180° (sum of the interior angles, formed on the same side of the transversal, is 180°)


AE and BE are the bisectors of ∠DAB and ∠CBA respectively.


∠EAB + ∠EBA = 90° ... (1)


In ∆EAB,


∠EAB + ∠EBA + ∠AEB = 180° (sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°)


90° + ∠AEB = 180°


From (1)


∠AEB = 90°

v. A pentagon has ...... diagonals.


Answer:

i. 135°


Exterior Angle = [n represents no of sides of polygon]


= 45°


Interior Angle + Exterior Angle = 180o


Interior Angle = 180 – 45 = 135°


ii. 720°


Sum of Interior Angle = (n-2)× 180°


= (6-2) × 180 °


= 720°


iii. Hexagon


Exterior Angle =


60 =


N =


= 6


No. of Sides is 6.


So, it is a hexagon.


iv. Pentagon


Interior Angle = 108°


Exterior Angle = 180° - 108° = 72°


No. of Sides =


= 5


So, it is a pentagon.


v. 5


No. of diagonals = [n is No. of Sides]


=

Question 17.

Write ‘T’ for true and ‘F’ for false of each of the following:

i. The diagonals of a parallelogram are equal.

ii. The diagonals of a rectangle are perpendicular to each other.

iii. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

iv. Every rhombus is a kite.


Answer:

i. F


The diagonals of square and rectangle only are equal. Rest all the parallelograms like Rhombus etc. do not have diagonals equal in size.


ii. F


Diagonals of Rectangle do not intersect in right angle hence it is not perpendicular to each other. Only in case of Square, diagonal intersects at right angle.


iii. T


In rhombus, diagonals bisect the angles and are the perpendicular bisector of each other.


iv. F


In rhombus, every side has equal length but it in kite only pair of adjacent sides are equal in length.
