Question 12 Marks

Can the angles 110º, 80º, 70º and 95º be the angles of a quadrilateral? Why or why not?

Answer

No, we know that, sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
Here, sum of the angles = 110° + 80° + 70° + 95° = 355° ≠ 360°.
So, these angles cannot be the angles of a quadrilateral.

Question 22 Marks

In quadrilateral ABCD, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$ What special name can be given to this quadrilateral?

Answer

In quadrilateral ABCD, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$ i.e., the sum of two consecutive angles is 180^o. So, pair of opposite side AB and CD are parallel.
Therefore, quadrilateral ABCD is trapezium.
Hence, special name which can be given to this quadrilateral ABCD is trapezium.

Question 32 Marks

In $\Delta\text{ABC,}$ BC = 8cm and CA = 7cm. If D and E are respectively the mid-points of AB and BC, determine the length of DE.

Answer

In $\Delta\text{ABC,}$ BC = 8cm and CA = 7cm. If D and E are respectively the mid-points of AB and BC,
$\therefore\ \text{DE}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}=\frac{1}{2}\times7\text{cm}=3.5\text{cm}$ [Using the mid-point theorem]

Question 42 Marks

ABCD and AEFG are two parallelograms. If $\angle\text{C}=55^\circ,$ determine $\angle\text{F}.$

Answer

We have, ABCD and AEFG are two parallelograms and$\angle\text{C}=55^\circ.$ Since, ABCD is a parallelogram, then opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{C}=55^\circ\ ...(\text{i})$
Also, AEFG is a parallelogram.
$\therefore\ \angle\text{A}=\angle\text{F}=55^\circ$ [from eq.]

Question 52 Marks

One angle of a quadrilateral is of 108º and the remaining three angles are equal. Find each of the three equal angles.

Answer

One angle of a quadrilateral is of 180° and let each of the three remaining equal angles be x⁰.
As the sum of the angles of a quadrilaterral is 360°.
$108^\circ+\text{x}+\text{x}+\text{x}=360^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 3\text{x}=360^\circ=108^\circ=252^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\frac{252^\circ}{3}=84^\circ$
Hence, each of the three angles be 84°.

Question 62 Marks

it is given that BDEF and FDCE are parallelograms. Can you say that BD = CD? Why or why not?

Answer

Yes, in the given figure, BDEF is a parallelogram..
$\therefore$ BD || EF and BD = EF …(i)
Also, FDCE is a parallelogram.
$\therefore$ CD||EF
and CD = EF …(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), BD = CD = EF

Question 72 Marks

Diagonals of a quadrilateral ABCD bisect each other. If $\angle\text{A}=35^\circ$ determine $\angle\text{B}.$

Answer

As the diagonals of a qudrillateral ABCD bisect each other, so ABCD is a parallelogram.
New, ABCD is a parallelogram
$\therefore\ \angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}=180^\circ$
[$\because$ abjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
$\therefore\ 35^\circ+\angle\text{B}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{B}=180^\circ-35^\circ=145^\circ$

Question 82 Marks

Can all the angles of a quadrilateral be acute angles? Give reason for your answer.

Answer

No, all the angles of a quadrilateral cannot be acute angles. As, sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. So, maximum of three acute angles will be possible.

Question 92 Marks

Opposite angles of a quadrilateral ABCD are equal. If AB = 4cm, determine CD.

Answer

Given, opposite angles of a quadrilateral are equal. So, ABCD is a parallelogram and we know that, in a parallelogram opposite sides are also equal.

$∴\text{CD}=\text{AB}=4\text{cm}$
