Maharashtra Board 9th Maths Chapter 5.2, Class 9 Maths Chapter 5.2 solutions

Question 1.
In the adjoining figure, □ABCD is a parallelogram, P and Q are midpoints of sides AB and DC respectively, then prove □APCQ is a parallelogram.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 5.2 1

Given: □ABCD is a parallelogram. P and Q are the midpoints of sides AB and DC respectively.
To prove: □APCQ is a parallelogram.
Solution:
Proof:
AP = 12 AB …..(i) [P is the midpoint of side AB]
QC = 12 DC ….(ii) [Q is the midpoint of side CD]
□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ AB = DC [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
∴ 12 AB = 12 DC [Multiplying both sides by 12]
∴ AP = QC ….(iii) [From (i) and (ii)]
Also, AB || DC [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
i.e. AP || QC ….(iv) [A – P – B, D – Q – C]
From (iii) and (iv),
□APCQ is a parallelogram. [A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite sides is parallel and congruent]

Question 2.
Using opposite angles test for parallelogram, prove that every rectangle is a parallelogram.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 5.2 2
Given:
□ABCD is a rectangle.
To prove: Rectangle ABCD is a parallelogram.
Solution:

Proof:
□ABCD is a rectangle.
∴ ∠A ≅ ∠C = 90° [Given]
∠B ≅ ∠D = 90° [Angles of a rectangle]
∴ Rectangle ABCD is a parallelogram. [A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if pairs of its opposite angles are congruent]

Question 3.
In the adjoining figure, G is the point of concurrence of medians of ADEF. Take point H on ray DG such that D-G-H and DG = GH, then prove that □GEHF is a parallelogram.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 5.2 3
Given: Point G (centroid) is the point of concurrence of the medians of ADEF.
DG = GH
To prove: □GEHF is a parallelogram.
Solution:
Proof:
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 5.2 4
Let ray DH intersect seg EF at point I such that E-I-F.
∴ seg DI is the median of ∆DEF.
∴ El = FI ……(i)
Point G is the centroid of ∆DEF.
∴ DGGI = 21 [Centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1]
∴ DG = 2(GI)
∴ GH = 2(GI) [DG = GH]
∴ GI + HI = 2(GI) [G-I-H]
∴ HI = 2(GI) – GI
∴ HI = GI ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
□GEHF is a parallelogram [A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if its diagonals bisect each other]

Question 4.
Prove that quadrilateral formed by the intersection of angle bisectors of all angles of a parallelogram is a rectangle.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 5.2 5
Given: □ABCD is a parallelogram.
Rays AS, BQ, CQ and DS bisect ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D respectively.
To prove: □PQRS is a rectangle.
Solution:
Proof:
∠BAS = ∠DAS = x° …(i) [ray AS bisects ∠A]
∠ABQ = ∠CBQ =y° ….(ii) [ray BQ bisects ∠B]
∠BCQ = ∠DCQ = u° …..(iii) [ray CQ bisects ∠C]
∠ADS = ∠CDS = v° ….(iv) [ray DS bisects ∠D]
□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠BAS + ∠DAS + ∠ABQ + ∠CBQ = 180° [Angle addition property]
∴ x°+x°+ v° + v° = 180 [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ 2x° + 2v° =180
∴ x + y = 90° ……(v) [Dividing both sides by 2]
Also, ∠A + ∠D= 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠BAS + ∠DAS + ADS + ∠CDS = 180° [Angle addition property]
∴ x° + x° + v° + v° = 180°
∴ 2x° + 2v° = 180°
∴ x° + v° = 90° …..(vi) [Dividing both sides by 2]
In ∆ARB,
∠RAB + ∠RBA + ∠ARB = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ x° + y° + ∠SRQ = 180° [A – S – R, B – Q – R]
∴ 90° + ∠SRQ = 180° [From (v)]
∴ ∠SRQ = 180°- 90° = 90° …..(vi)
Similarly, we can prove
∠SPQ = 90° …(viii)
In ∆ASD,
∠ASD + ∠SAD + ∠SDA = 180° [Sum of the measures of angles a triangle is 180°]
∴ ∠ASD + x° + v° = 180° [From (vi)]
∴ ∠ASD + 90° = 180°
∴∠ASD = 180°- 90° = 90°
∴ ∠PSR = ∠ASD [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠PSR = 90° …..(ix)
Similarly we can prove
∠PQR = 90° ..(x)
∴ In □PQRS,
∠SRQ = ∠SPQ = ∠PSR = ∠PQR = 90° [From (vii), (viii), (ix), (x)]
∴ □PQRS is a rectangle. [Each angle is of measure 90°]

Question 5.
In the adjoining figure, if points P, Q, R, S are on the sides of parallelogram such that AP = BQ = CR = DS, then prove that □PQRS is a parallelogram.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 5.2 6
Given: □ABCD is a parallelogram.
AP = BQ = CR = DS
To prove: □PQRS is a parallelogram.
Solution:
Proof:
□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ ∠B = ∠D ….(i) [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
Also, AB = CD [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
∴ AP + BP = DR + CR [A-P-B, D-R-C]
∴ AP + BP = DR + AP [AP = CR]
∴ BP = DR ….(ii)
In APBQ and ARDS,
seg BP ≅ seg DR [From (ii)]
∠PBQ ≅ ∠RDS [From (i)]
seg BQ ≅ seg DS [Given]
∴ ∆PBQ ≅ ∆RDS [SAS test]
∴ seg PQ ≅ seg RS …..(iii) [c.s.c.t]
Similarly, we can prove that
∆PAS ≅ ∆RCQ
∴ seg PS ≅ seg RQ ….(iv) [c.s.c.t]
From (iii) and (iv),
□PQRS is a parallelogram. [A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if pairs of its opposite angles are congruent]

Question 1.
Points D and E are the midpoints of side AB and side AC of ∆ABC respectively. Point F is on ray ED such that ED = DF. Prove that □AFBE is a parallelogram. For this example write ‘given’ and ‘to prove’ and complete the proof. (Text book pg. no. 66)
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 5.2 7
Given: D and E are the midpoints of side AB and side AC respectively.
ED = DF
To prove: □AFBE is a parallelogram.
Solution:
Proof:
seg AB and seg EF are the diagonals of □AFBE.
seg AD ≅ seg DB [Given]
seg DE ≅ seg DF [Given]
∴ Diagonals of □AFBE bisect each other.
∴ □AFBE is a parallelogram. [ By test of parallelogram]

About Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE)

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education or MSBSHSE (Marathi: महाराष्ट्र राज्य माध्यमिक आणि उच्च माध्यमिक शिक्षण मंडळ), is an autonomous and statutory body established in 1965. The board was amended in the year 1977 under the provisions of the Maharashtra Act No. 41 of 1965.

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE), Pune is an independent body of the Maharashtra Government. There are more than 1.4 million students that appear in the examination every year. The Maha State Board conducts the board examination twice a year. This board conducts the examination for SSC and HSC. 

The Maharashtra government established the Maharashtra State Bureau of Textbook Production and Curriculum Research, also commonly referred to as Ebalbharati, in 1967 to take up the responsibility of providing quality textbooks to students from all classes studying under the Maharashtra State Board. MSBHSE prepares and updates the curriculum to provide holistic development for students. It is designed to tackle the difficulty in understanding the concepts with simple language with simple illustrations. Every year around 10 lakh students are enrolled in schools that are affiliated with the Maharashtra State Board.
