Question 1: Three angles of a quadrilateral are respectively equal to 1100, 500 and 400. Find its fourth angle.

Solution:

Three angles of a quadrilateral are 1100, 500 and 400

Let the fourth angle be ‘x’

We know, sum of all angles of a quadrilateral = 3600

1100 + 500 + 400 + x0 = 3600

⇒ x = 3600 – 2000

⇒x = 1600

Therefore, the required fourth angle is 1600.

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

Solution:

Let the angles of the quadrilaterals are A = x, B = 2x, C = 4x and D = 5x

We know, sum of all angles of a quadrilateral = 3600

A + B + C + D = 3600

x + 2x + 4x + 5x = 3600

12x = 3600

x = 3600/12 = 300

Therefore,

A = x = 300

B = 2x = 600

C = 4x = 1200

D = 5x = 1500

Question 3: In a quadrilateral ABCD, CO and DO are the bisectors of ∠C and ∠D respectively. Prove that ∠COD = 1/2 (∠A + ∠B).

Solution:

In ΔDOC,

∠CDO + ∠COD + ∠DCO = 1800 [Angle sum property of a triangle]

or 1/2∠CDA + ∠COD + 1/2∠DCB = 1800

∠COD = 1800 – 1/2(∠CDA + ∠DCB) …..(i)

Also

We know, sum of all angles of a quadrilateral = 3600

∠CDA + ∠DCB = 3600 – (∠DAB + ∠CBA) ……(ii)

Substituting (ii) in (i)

∠COD = 1800 – 1/2{3600 – (∠DAB + ∠CBA) }

We can also write, ∠DAB = ∠A and ∠CBA = ∠B

∠COD = 1800 − 1800 + 1/2(∠A + ∠B))

∠COD = 1/2(∠A + ∠B)

Hence Proved.

Question 4: The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3:5:9:13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.

Solution:

The angles of a quadrilateral are 3x, 5x, 9x and 13x respectively.

We know, sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral = 3600

Therefore, 3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 3600

30x = 3600

or x = 120

Hence, angles measures are

3x = 3(12) = 360

5x = 5(12) = 600

9x = 9(12) = 1080

13x = 13(12) = 1560

Exercise 14.2

Question 1: Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x – 2)0 and (50 – x) 0. Find the measure of each angle of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Given: Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x – 2)0 and (50 – x) 0.

We know, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

(3x – 2)0 = (50 – x) 0

3x + x = 50 + 2

4x = 52

x = 13

Angle x is 130

Therefore,

(3x-2) 0 = (3(13) – 2) = 370

(50-x) 0 = (50 – 13) = 370

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

x + 37 = 1800

x = 1800 − 370 = 1430

Therefore, required angles are : 370, 1430, 370 and 1430.

Question 2: If an angle of a parallelogram is two-third of its adjacent angle, find the angles of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Let the measure of the angle be x. Therefore, measure of the adjacent angle is 2x/3.

We know, adjacent angle of a parallelogram is supplementary.

x + 2x/3 = 1800

3x + 2x = 5400

5x = 5400

or x = 1080

Measure of second angle is 2x/3 = 2(1080)/3 = 720

Similarly measure of 3rd and 4th angles are 1080 and 720

Hence, four angles are 1080, 720, 1080, 720

Question 3: Find the measure of all the angles of a parallelogram, if one angle is 240 less than twice the smallest angle.

Solution:

Given: One angle of a parallelogram is 240 less than twice the smallest angle.

Let x be the smallest angle, then

x + 2x – 240 = 1800

3x – 240 = 1800

3x = 1080 + 240

3x = 2040

x = 2040/3 = 680

So, x = 680

Another angle = 2x – 240 = 2(680) – 240 = 1120

Hence, four angles are 680, 1120, 680, 1120.

Question 4: The perimeter of a parallelogram is 22cm. If the longer side measures 6.5cm what is the measure of the shorter side?

Solution:

Let x be the shorter side of a parallelogram.

Perimeter = 22 cm

Longer side = 6.5 cm

Perimeter = Sum of all sides = x + 6.5 + 6.5 + x

22 = 2 ( x + 6.5 )

11 = x + 6.5

or x = 11 – 6.5 = 4.5

Therefore, shorter side of a parallelogram is 4.5 cm

Exercise 14.3

Question 1: In a parallelogram ABCD, determine the sum of angles ∠C and ∠D.

Solution:

In a parallelogram ABCD , ∠C and ∠D are consecutive interior angles on the same side of the transversal CD.

So, ∠C + ∠D = 1800

Question 2: In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠B = 1350, determine the measures of its other angles.

Solution:

Given: In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠B = 1350

Here, ∠A = ∠C, ∠B = ∠D and ∠A + ∠B = 1800

∠A + 1350 = 1800

∠A = 450

Answer:

∠A = ∠C = 450

∠B = ∠D = 1350

Question 3: ABCD is a square. AC and BD intersect at O. State the measure of ∠AOB.

Solution:

We know, diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angle.

So, ∠AOB = 900

Question 4: ABCD is a rectangle with ∠ABD = 400. Determine ∠DBC.

Solution:

Each angle of a rectangle = 90o

So, ∠ABC = 900

∠ABD = 400 (given)

Now, ∠ABD + ∠DBC = 900

400 + ∠DBC = 900

or ∠DBC = 500 .

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 sides AB, BC and CA are 7 cm, 8 cm and 9 cm, respectively, find the perimeter of ΔDEF.

Solution:

Given: AB = 7 cm, BC = 8 cm, AC = 9 cm

In ∆ABC,

In a ΔABC, D, E and F are, respectively, the mid points of BC, CA and AB.

According to Midpoint Theorem:

EF = 1/2BC, DF = 1/2 AC and DE = 1/2 AB

Now, Perimeter of ∆DEF = DE + EF + DF

= 1/2 (AB + BC + AC)

= 1/2 (7 + 8 + 9)

= 12

Perimeter of ΔDEF = 12cm

Question 2: In a ΔABC, ∠A = 500, ∠B = 600 and ∠C = 700. Find the measures of the angles of the triangle formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of this triangle.

Solution:

In ΔABC,

D, E and F are mid points of AB,BC and AC respectively.

In a Quadrilateral DECF:

By Mid-point theorem,

DE ∥ AC ⇒ DE = AC/2

And CF = AC/2

⇒ DE = CF

Therefore, DECF is a parallelogram.

∠C = ∠D = 700[Opposite sides of a parallelogram]

Similarly,

ADEF is a parallelogram, ∠A = ∠E = 500

BEFD is a parallelogram, ∠B = ∠F = 600

Hence, Angles of ΔDEF are: ∠D = 700, ∠E = 500, ∠F = 600.

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.

Solution:

In ΔABC,

R and P are mid points of AB and BC

By Mid-point Theorem

RP ∥ AC ⇒ RP = AC/2

In a quadrilateral, ARPQ

RP ∥ AQ ⇒ RP = AQ[A pair of side is parallel and equal]

Therefore, ARPQ is a parallelogram.

Now, AR = AB/2 = 30/2 = 15 cm[AB = 30 cm (Given)]

AR = QP = 15 cm[ Opposite sides are equal ]

And RP = AC/2 = 21/2 = 10.5 cm[AC = 21 cm (Given)]

RP = AQ = 10.5cm[ Opposite sides are equal ]

Now,

Perimeter of ARPQ = AR + QP + RP +AQ

= 15 +15 +10.5 +10.5

= 51

Perimeter of quadrilateral ARPQ is 51 cm.

Question 4: In a ΔABC median AD is produced to X such that AD = DX. Prove that ABXC is a parallelogram.

Solution:

In a quadrilateral ABXC,

AD = DX [Given]

BD = DC [Given]

From figure, Diagonals AX and BC bisect each other.

ABXC is a parallelogram.

Hence Proved.

Question 5: In a ΔABC, E and F are the mid-points of AC and AB respectively. The altitude AP to BC intersects FE at Q. Prove that AQ = QP.

Solution:

In a ΔABC

E and F are mid points of AC and AB (Given)

EF ∥ BC ⇒ EF = BC/2 and[By mid-point theorem]

In ΔABP

F is the mid-point of AB, again by mid-point theorem

FQ ∥ BP

Q is the mid-point of AP

AQ = QP

Hence Proved.

Question 6: In a ΔABC, BM and CN are perpendiculars from B and C respectively on any line passing through A. If L is the mid-point of BC, prove that ML = NL.

Solution:

Given that,

In ΔBLM and ΔCLN

∠BML = ∠CNL = 900

BL = CL [L is the mid-point of BC]

∠MLB = ∠NLC [Vertically opposite angle]

By ASA criterion:

ΔBLM ≅ ΔCLN

So, LM = LN [By CPCT]

Question 7: In figure, triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle at B. Given that AB = 9 cm, AC = 15 cm and D, E are the mid-points of the sides AB and AC respectively, calculate

(i) The length of BC (ii) The area of ΔADE.

Solution:

In ΔABC,

∠B=900 (Given)

AB = 9 cm, AC = 15 cm (Given)

By using Pythagoras theorem

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒152 = 92 + BC2

⇒BC2 = 225 – 81 = 144

or BC = 12

Again,

AD = DB = AB/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 cm [D is the mid−point of AB

D and E are mid-points of AB and AC

DE ∥ BC ⇒ DE = BC/2 [By mid−point theorem]

Now,

Area of ΔADE = 1/2 x AD x DE

= 1/2 x 4.5 x 6

=13.5

Area of ΔADE is 13.5 cm2

Question 8: In figure, M, N and P are mid-points of AB, AC and BC respectively. If MN = 3 cm, NP = 3.5 cm and MP = 2.5 cm, calculate BC, AB and AC.

Solution:

Given: MN = 3 cm, NP = 3.5 cm and MP = 2.5 cm.

M and N are mid-points of AB and AC

By mid−point theorem, we have

MN∥BC ⇒ MN = BC/2

or BC = 2MN

BC = 6 cm[MN = 3 cm given)

Similarly,

AC = 2MP = 2 (2.5) = 5 cm

AB = 2 NP = 2 (3.5) = 7 cm

Question 9: ABC is a triangle and through A, B, C lines are drawn parallel to BC, CA and AB respectively intersecting at P, Q and R. Prove that the perimeter of ΔPQR is double the perimeter of ΔABC.

Solution:

ABCQ and ARBC are parallelograms.

Therefore, BC = AQ and BC = AR

⇒AQ = AR

⇒A is the mid-point of QR

Similarly B and C are the mid points of PR and PQ respectively.

By mid−point theorem, we have

AB = PQ/2, BC = QR/2 and CA = PR/2

or PQ = 2AB, QR = 2BC and PR = 2CA

⇒PQ + QR + RP = 2 (AB + BC + CA)

⇒ Perimeter of ΔPQR = 2 (Perimeter of ΔABC)

Hence proved.

Question 10: In figure, BE ⊥ AC, AD is any line from A to BC intersecting BE in H. P, Q and R are respectively the mid-points of AH, AB and BC. Prove that ∠PQR = 900.

Solution:

BE⊥AC and P, Q and R are respectively mid-point of AH, AB and BC. (Given)

In ΔABC, Q and R are mid-points of AB and BC respectively.

By Mid-point theorem:

QR ∥ AC …..(i)

In ΔABH, Q and P are the mid-points of AB and AH respectively

QP ∥ BH ….(ii)

But, BE⊥AC

From (i) and (ii) we have,

QP⊥QR

⇒∠PQR = 900

Hence Proved.

Question 2: In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠D = 1150, then write the measure of ∠A.

Solution:

In a parallelogram ABCD,

∠D = 1150 (Given)

Since, ∠A and ∠D are adjacent angles of parallelogram.

We know, Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

∠A + ∠D = 1800

∠A = 1800 – 1150 = 650

Measure of ∠A is 650.

Question 3: PQRS is a square such that PR and SQ intersect at O. State the measure of ∠POQ.

Question 4: In a quadrilateral ABCD, bisectors of angles A and B intersect at O such that ∠AOB = 75°, then write the value of ∠C + ∠D.

Solution:

∠AOB = 75o (given)

In a quadrilateral ABCD, bisectors of angles A and B intersect at O, then

∠AOB = 1/2 (∠ADC + ∠ABC)

or ∠AOB = 1/2 (∠D + ∠C)

By substituting given values, we get

75 o = 1/2 (∠D + ∠C)

or ∠C + ∠D = 150 o

Question 5: The diagonals of a rectangle ABCD meet at O. If ∠BOC = 44o, find ∠OAD.

Solution:

ABCD is a rectangle and ∠BOC = 44o (given)

∠AOD = ∠BOC (vertically opposite angles)

∠AOD = ∠BOC = 44o

∠OAD = ∠ODA (Angles facing same side)

and OD = OA

Since sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 o, then

So, ∠OAD = 1/2 (180 o – 44 o) = 68 o

Question 6: If PQRS is a square, then write the measure of ∠SRP.

Solution:

PQRS is a square.

Question 7: If ABCD is a rectangle with ∠BAC = 32o, find the measure of ∠DBC.

Solution:

ABCD is a rectangle and ∠BAC=32 o (given)

We know, diagonals of a rectangle bisects each other.

AO = BO

∠DBA = ∠BAC = 32 o (Angles facing same side)

Each angle of a rectangle = 90 degrees

So, ∠DBC + ∠DBA = 90 o

or ∠DBC + 32 o = 90 o

or ∠DBC = 58 o

Question 8: If ABCD is a rhombus with ∠ABC = 56o, find the measure of ∠ACD.

Solution:

In a rhombus ABCD,

<ABC = 56 o

So, <BCD = 2 (<ACD) (Diagonals of a rhombus bisect the interior angles)

or <ACD = 1/2 (<BCD) …..(1)

We know, consecutive angles of a rhombus are supplementary.

∠BCD + ∠ABC = 180 o

∠BCD = 180 o – 56 o = 124 o

Equation (1) ⇒ <ACD = 1/2 x 124 o = 62 o

Question 9: The perimeter of a parallelogram is 22 cm. If the longer side measure 6.5 cm, what is the measure of shorter side?

Solution:

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 22 cm. (Given)

Longer side = 6.5 cm

Let x be the shorter side.

Perimeter = 2x + 2×6.5

22 = 2x + 13

2x = 22 – 13 = 9

or x = 4.5

Measure of shorter side is 4.5 cm.

Question 10: If the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3:5:9:13, then find the measure of the smallest angle.

Solution:

Angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13 (Given)

Let the sides are 3x, 5x, 9x, 13x

We know, sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral = 360o

3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360 o

30 x = 360 o

x = 12 o

Measure of smallest angle = 3x = 3(12) = 36o .
