QUADRILATERALS MCQs
:
B
A rhombus can be considered as a parallelogram with all sides equal. Hence its adjacent angles are supplementary, whereas a kite does not have any sides parallel and thus its adjacent angles need not be supplementary.
:
C
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
:
B and C
Since ABEF is a parallelogram, so AF || BE and BF is the transversal.
∴∠AFB=∠FBE=x
[Alternate angles]
Also, since BCED is a parallelogram,
BE || CD and BD is the transversal.
∴∠CDB=∠EDB=y
[Alternate angles]
Now,
∠FBD=∠FBE+∠EBD
∠FBD=x+y
And,
∠AFE=∠BED
[Corresponding angles]
∴∠AFE=z
∠BED=∠BCD=z
[opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∠CDG+∠BCD=∠EBD+∠BED
[Sum of opposite interior angles is equal to exterior angle of a triangle]
⇒∠CDG=y+z−y
⇒∠CDG=z

B
Let the smallest angle of quadrilateral be x∘.
Then, the angles of the quadrilateral will be x∘, 2x∘, 3x∘ and 4x∘.
Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360∘.
⇒360∘=x+2x+3x+4x
⇒10x=360∘
∴x=36∘,2x=72∘,3x=108∘ and 4x=144∘
:
A
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose both pairs of opposite sides are equal and parallel. Since the pairs of opposite sides equal and parallel in a square, rhombus and rectangle, they are all parallelograms.
:
By joining the mid points of the sides of a quadrilateral, another quadrilateral is formed whose opposite sides will be equal and parallel. Hence the quadrilateral formed is a parallelogram.
:
B
In a trapezium only one pair of opposite sides are parallel.
In a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides are equal and parallel.
Therefore a trapezium is not a parallelogram.
:
C and D
A figure formed by joining four points in an order is called a quadrilateral.
Consider the analogy of four people as four points.
In the first case, there are four collinear points which cannot form a quadrilateral.
In the second case, there are three collinear points which can form a triangle, but not a quadrilateral.
In the third case, the two pair of people face each other and thus form a quadrilateral.
In the fourth case, the two pair of people face exactly opposite but hold each others hands from behind and side and thus can for a quadrilateral.

B
The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3:4:5:6.
Let the angles of the quadrilateral be 3x,4x,5x,6x.
The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360∘.
⇒3x+4x+5x+6x=360∘
⇒18x=360∘
⇒x=20∘
∴3x=60∘,4x=80∘,5x=100∘,6x=120∘
