Question 19.

The vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD are A(0, 0), B(4, 4), C(4, 8) and D(0, 4). Then, ABCD is a

  1.    square
  2.    rhombus
  3.    rectangle
  4.    parallelogram
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> parallelogram
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has two pairs of parallel sides. It can be defined as a four sided shape which has opposite sides that are both equal in length and parallel to each other.

We will now check if the given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

The coordinates of the vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD are A(0, 0), B(4, 4), C(4, 8) and D(0, 4).
The length of the sides can be calculated using the distance formula.
The distance between A and B is((4-0)2 + (4-0)2) =(42+42) =(16+16) =32 = 5.66
The distance between B and C is((4-4)2 + (8-4)2) =(02+42) =(0+16) = 4
The distance between C and D is((4-0)2 + (8-4)2) =(42+42) =(16+16) =32 = 5.66
The distance between D and A is((0-0)2 + (4-0)2) =(02+42) =(0+16) = 4

From the above calculations, we can see that the lengths of the opposite sides of the quadrilateral ABCD are same, i.e. AB = CD and AD = BC. Therefore, the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
Question 20.

The vertices of a triangle are A(4, 4), B(3, - 2) and C(- 3, 16). The area of the triangle is :

  1.    36 sq. units
  2.    37 sq. units
  3.    38 sq. units
  4.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> none of these
