(iii) All trapeziums are parallelograms ( )

(iv) A square is a rhombus ( )

(v) Every rhombus is a square ( )

(vi) All parallelograms are rectangles ( )

Answer:

(i) [True]

⇒ The trapezium has a property

One pair of opposite sides are parallel

This is conveyed by parallelogram

as they have 2 pair of parallel sides

∴ Every parallelogram is a trapezium

(ii) [True]

⇒ The quadrilateral is known as

Polygon having four sides

This is conveyed by parallelogram

as they are also four sided polygon.

∴ Every parallelogram is a Quadrilateral

(iii) [False]

⇒ The parallelogram has a property

Both pair of opposite sides are parallel and equal

Which is not conveyed by trapezium

as they have only 1 pair of parallel sides

∴ Every trapezium is not parallelogram

(iv) [True]

⇒ The Rhombus has a property

Diagonal of rhombus bisect each other at 90°

This is conveyed by square

as their diagonal also bisect each other at 90°

∴ A square is a rhombus

(v) [False]

⇒ The square has a property

All angles of square are equal and 90°

And diagonals are equal and perpendicular bisector to each

other

Which is not conveyed by Rhombus

as their diagonal are perpendicular bisector but not equal

And their angles are also not equal to 90°

∴ Every rhombus is not a square.

(vi) [False]

⇒ The rectangle has a property

Every angle of rectangle is 90°

Which is not conveyed by parallelogram

as it have only opposite side angles are equal not 90°

∴ Every parallelogram are not rectangle.

Question 3.

ABCD is trapezium in which AB || CD. If AD = BC, show that ∠A = ∠B and ∠C = ∠D.

Answer:

Given:- ABCD is a isosceles trapezium

Trapezium with one pair of sides is parallel

And other pair of sides is equal[AD=BC].

Formula used:- SSS congruency property

If all 3 sides of triangle are equal to all 3 sides of

other triangle

Then; Both triangles are congruent

Solution:- In trapezium ABCD

If AB||CD

And; AD=BC

∴ ABCD is a isosceles trapezium

⇒ If ABCD is a isosceles trapezium

Then;

Diagonals of ABCD must be equal

∴ AC=BD

In Δ ABD and Δ ABC

AC=BD [∵ ABCD is isosceles trapezium]

AD=BC [Given]

AB=AB [Common line in both triangle]

∴ Both triangles are congruent by SSS property

∆ABD ≅ ∆ABC

⇒ If both triangles are congruent

Then there were also be equal.

∴ ∠ A=∠ B

As ABCD is trapezium and AB||CD

∠ A+∠ D=180° and ∠ C+∠ B=180°

∠ A =180° - ∠ D and ∠ B=180° - ∠ C

If ∠ A=∠ B;

180° - ∠ D=180° - ∠ C

180° +∠ C - 180° = ∠ D

∴ ∠ C=∠ D;

Conclusion:- If ABCD is trapezium in which AD = BC, then ∠A = ∠B and ∠C = ∠D.

If two sides of triangle and angle made by the 2 sides are equal then both the triangles are congruent

Solution :-

In ∆AFD and ∆BEC

*AF=BE [opposite sides of rectangle are equal]

*AD=BC [opposite sides of parallelogram are equal]

As angle of rectangle is 90°

∠ DAB +∠ FAD=90°

∠ DAB=90° - ∠ FAD -----1

Sum of corresponding angles of parallelogram is 180°

∠ DAB+∠ ABC =180°

∠ DAB+∠ ABE+∠ EBC=180°

90° - ∠ FAD + 90° +∠ EBC=180° ∵ putting value from 1

180° +∠ EBC-∠ FAD=180°

∠ EBC - ∠ FAD=0

∠ A = ∠ C [opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]

3x-2=x+48

3x – x=48+2

2x=50

x=25

Then;

∠ A=∠ C=x+48=25+ 48 = 73°

∠ A+∠ B=180°

∠ B=180° - 73°

∠ B= 107°

∠ B = ∠ D [opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]

Conclusion:-

Angles of parallelogram = 73°, 107°, 73°, 107°

Answer:

Given:- one angle is 24° less than the twice of the smallest angle

Formula used:- opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

Corresponding angles sum is 180°

Solution:-

Let ∠ A and ∠ C be smallest because

∠ A = ∠ C [opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]

2∠ A+ 24° =∠ B

∠ A+∠ B=180° [Sum of corresponding angles is 180° ]

∠ B=180°-∠ A

Then,

2∠ A+ 24° =180° -∠ A

3∠ A =180° - 24°

3∠ A=156°

∠ A==52°

∠ B=180° -∠ A

∠ B= 180° -52°

2∠ ACB+∠ CAB=180°

*As BAQ is a straight line

∠ CAB+∠ DAC+∠ QAD=180°

*∠ QAD=∠ DAC [Given]

∠ CAB=180° - 2∠ DAC

Putting value of ∠ CAB in above equation 1

2∠ ACB+180° - 2∠ DAC=180°

2∠ ACB =2∠ DAC

∠ ACB =∠ DAC

If;

AO=OC and DO=OB [diagonal of parallelogram bisect each other]

As DO=OB

Where DO=DQ+OQ

OB=OP+PB

∴ DQ+OQ=OP+PB

⇒ +OQ=OP+

⇒ OQ=OP+ - 

⇒ OQ=OP

PQ = OP+OQ = 2(OQ) = 2(OP)

∴ AC diagonal bisect PQ

⇒ In Δ QOC and Δ POA

OQ=PO [Proven above]

AO=OC [Diagonal of parallelogram bisect each other]

∠ QOC=∠ AOP [vertically opposite angles]

Hence Δ QOC ≅ Δ POA

ABCD is a square. E, F, G and H are the mid points of AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. Such that AE = BF = CG = DH. Prove that EFGH is a square.

Answer:

Given:- *ABCD is a square

*E, F, G and H are the mid points of AB, BC, CD and DA

respectively

*AE = BF = CG = DH

Formula used:- *Isosceles Δ property

⇒ If 2 sides of triangle are equal then

Corresponding angle will also be equal

*Properties of quadrilateral to be square

⇒ All sides are equal

⇒ All angles are 90°

Solution:-

In Δ AHE, Δ EBF, Δ FCG, Δ DHG

⇒ AE = BF = CG = DH [Given]

If;

⇒ AE=EB [E is midpoint of AB]

⇒ BF=FC [F is midpoint of BC]

⇒ CG=GD [G is midpoint of CD]

⇒ DH=HA [H is midpoint of DA]

⇒ AE = BF = CG = DH

On replacing every part we get;

⇒ EB=FC=GD=HA;

⇒ ∠ A+∠ B+∠ C+∠ D=90° [All angles of square are 90°]

Hence;

All triangles Δ AHE, Δ EBF, Δ FCG, Δ DHG

are congruent by SAS property

∴ Δ AHE≅ Δ EBF≅ Δ FCG ≅ Δ DHG

⇒ HE=EF=FG=GH [All triangles are congruent]

In Δ AHE, Δ EBF, Δ FCG, Δ DHG

∵ all sides of square are equal and after the midpoint of each sides

Every half side of square are equal to half of other sides.

HA=AE , EB=FB ,FC=GC ,HD=DG

∴ All Δ AHE, Δ EBF, Δ FCG, Δ DHG are isosceles

⇒ as central angle of all triangle is 90°

It makes all Δ AHE, Δ EBF, Δ FCG, Δ DHG are right angle isosceles Δ

∴ all corresponding angles of equal side will be 45°

∠ AHE=∠ BEF=∠ CFG=∠ DHG=∠ AEH=∠ BFE=∠ CGF=∠ DGH=45°

⇒ as AB is straight line

Then; ∠ AEH+∠ HEF+∠ BEF=180°

45°+∠ HEF+45° =180°

∠ HEF=180° -90° =90°

Similarly ;

∠ EFG=90°

∠ FGH=90°

∠ GHE=90°

Conclusion:-

All angles are 90° and all sides are equal of quadrilateral

Hence quadrilateral is square
