PQRS is a kite.∠P = 70°, ∠S = 90.5°, ∠R equals(a) 99° (b) 91° (c) 111° (d) 109°

Answer»

(d) 109°

In a kite, the two pairs of adjacent sides are equal, i.e., PS = PQ and SR = RQ 

In ΔPSQ, 

∠PSQ =∠PQS = \(\frac{180°-70°}{2}=\frac{110°}{2}\) = 55°

∴ ∠QSR = 90.5° – 55° = 35.5°

⇒ ∠RQS = ∠QSR = 35.5°      (∵RQ = RS) 

In ΔSRQ, 

∠R +∠RQS +∠QSR = 180° 

⇒ ∠R + 35.5° + 35.5° = 180° 

⇒ ∠R = 180° – 71° = 109°.

In the parallelogram PQRS, ∠P = 40°, then ∠R = A) 40° B) 50° C) 140° D) 80°

Answer»

Correct option is (A) 40°

\(\angle P\;and\;\angle R\) are opposite angles in parallelogram PQRS.

\(\therefore\) \(\angle R=\angle P=40^\circ\)   \((\because\angle P=40^\circ\) (given))

Correct option is  A) 40°

Answer»

Correct option is (C) 90°

\(\angle P\;\&\;\angle Q\) are consecutive angles in parallelogram ABCD.

\(\therefore\) \(\angle P+\angle Q\) \(=180^\circ\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{\angle P}2+\frac{\angle Q}2\) \(=\frac{180^\circ}2\)

\(=90^\circ\)

Correct option is  C) 90°

54.

ABCD is a parallelogram. If ∠BAD = 110°, then ∠DCE =A) 70° B) 55° C) 35° D) 60°

Answer»

Correct option is (A) 70°

\(\because\) \(\angle C\;\&\;\angle A\) are opposite angle in parallelogram ABCD.

\(\therefore\) \(\angle C=\angle A\) = \(110^\circ\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle BCD\) = \(110^\circ\)

Since, \(\angle BCD\;\&\;\angle DCE\) form a linear pair.

\(\therefore\) \(\angle BCD+\angle DCE\) = \(180^\circ\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle DCE\) \(=180^\circ-\angle BCD\)

\(=180^\circ-110^\circ\)

\(70^\circ\)

Correct option is  A) 70°

55.

□ABCD is a parallelogram and BC is extended. If ∠A = 40° then ∠DCE =A) 40° B) 140°C) 50° D) 60°

Answer»

Correct option is (A) 40°

\(\because\) ABCD is a parallelogram.

\(\therefore\) AB || DC

\(\therefore\) \(\angle DCE=\angle ABC\)    \((\because\) \(\angle DCE\;and\;\angle ABC\) are corresponding angles as AB || DE)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle DCE=40^\circ\)   \((\because\) \(\angle ABC=40^\circ)\)

Correct option is A) 40°

56.

In □ABCD, side BC || side AD, side AB ≅ side DC. If ∠A = 72°, then find the measures of ∠B and ∠D. Construction: Draw seg BP ⊥ side AD, A – P – D, seg CQ ⊥ side AD, A – Q – D.

Answer»

i. ∠A = 72° [Given] 

In □ABCD, side BC || side AD and side AB is their transversal. [Given] 

∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180° [Interior angles] 

∴ 72° +∠B = 180° 

∴ ∠B = 180° – 72° = 108°

ii. In ∆BPA and ∆CQD, 

∠BPA ≅ ∠CQD [Each angle is of measure 90°] 

Hypotenuse AB ≅ Hypotenuse DC [Given]

seg BP ≅ seg CQ [Perpendicular distance between two parallel lines] 

∴ ∆BPA ≅ ∆CQD [Hypotenuse side test] 

∴ ∠BAP ≅ ∠CDQ [c. a. c. t.] 

∴ ∠A = ∠D 

∴ ∠D = 72° 

∴ ∠B = 108°, ∠D = 72°

57.

Is it possible to construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 5.4 cm, DA = 5.9 cm and diagonal AC = 8 cm? If not, why?

Answer»

No,

Given measures are AS = 3 cm, SC = 4 cm,CD = 5.4 cm,

DA = 59 cm and AC = 8 cm

Here, we observe that AS + SC = 3 + 4 = 7 cm and AC = 8 cm

i.e. the sum of two sides of a triangle is less than the third side, which is absurd.

Hence, we cannot construct such a quadrilateral.

58.

□ABCD is a trapezium in which AB//CD. If ∠A = 45° then ∠D =A) 45° B) 55° C) 135° D) 125°

Answer»

Correct option is (C) 135°

Sum of interior angles on the same side of a transveral of two parallel lines is \(180^\circ.\)

\(\therefore\) \(\angle A+\angle D=180^\circ\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle D=180^\circ-\angle A\)

\(=180^\circ-45^\circ\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle D=135^\circ\)

Correct option is C) 135°

Which of the following can be four interior angles of a quadrilateral?(a) 140°, 40°, 20°, 160° (b) 270°, 150°, 30°, 20°(c) 40°, 70°, 90°, 60° (d) 110°, 40°, 30°, 180°

Answer»

(a) 140o, 40o, 20o, 160o

We know that sum of interior angles of quadrilaterals is 360o.

So, 140o + 40o + 20o + 160o = 360o

In option (d) has angle sum equal to 360o, but one angle is 180o if it is considered then the quadrilateral becomes a triangle.

In the given figure, ABCD and BDCE are parallelograms with common base DC. If BC ⊥ BD, then ∠BEC =(a) 60o (b) 30o (c) 150o (d) 120o

Answer»

(a) 60o

From the given figure,

∠BAD = 30o

∠BCD = 30o … [∵opposite angles of parallelogram are equal]

Now, let us consider the triangle CBD

From angle sum property, ∠DBC + ∠BCD + ∠CDB = 180o

90o + 30o + ∠CDB = 180o

120o + ∠CDB = 180o

∠CDB = 180o – 120o

∠CDB = 60o

∴∠BEC = 60o, because opposite angles of parallelogram are equal.

A rangoli has been drawn on the floor of a house. ABCD and PQRS both are in the shape of a rhombus. Find the radius of semi-circle drawn on each side of rhombus ABCD.

Answer»

In Rhombus ABCD,

AO = OP + PA = 2+2 = 4 units.

And, OB = OQ + QB = 2 + 1 = 2 units.

Now,

We know that the diagonals of the rhombus bisect at 900

∴ In ΔOAB,

AB2 = OA2 + OB2

⇒ AB2 = 42 + 32

⇒ AB = √25

⇒ AB = 5 units.

Now, AB is also the diameter of the semi-circle.

∴ radius of the circle will be 2.5 units.

92.

A playground in the town is in the form of a kite. The perimeter is 106 m. If one of its sides is 23 m, what are the lengths of other three sides?

Answer»

Let the length of other non-consecutive side be x cm.

Then, we have, perimeter of playground = 23 + 23+ x + x

=> 106 = 2 (23+ x)

=>46 + 2x = 106 2x = 106 – 46

=>2x = 60

=>x = 30 m

Hence, the lengths of other three sides are 23m, 30m and 30m. As a kite has two pairs of equal consecutive sides.

93.

Two sticks each of length 7 cm are crossing each other such that they bisect each other at right angles. What shape is formed by joining their end points? Give reason.

94.

Two sticks each of length 5 cm are crossing each other such that they bisect each other. What shape is formed by joining their end points? Give reason.

Answer»

Sticks can be taken as the diagonals of a quadrilateral.

Now, since they are bisecting each other, therefore the shape formed by joining their end points will be a parallelogram.

Hence, it may be a rectangle or a square depending on the angle between the sticks.

A diagonal of a rectangle is inclined to one side of the rectangle at 25°. Then find the acute angle between the diagonals.

Answer»

According to figure,

In ΔOCD,

∠ODC + ∠OCD + ∠COD = 180°

⇒ 25° + 25° + ∠COD = 180°
