Question 1.
Every trapezium is a parallelogram.
 Discuss Question

:
False
In a trapezium, only one pair of sides is parallel.
Question 2.
PQRS is a square. PR and SQ intersect at O. Then, POQ is a
a) Right angle
b) Straight angle
c) Reflex angle
d) Complete angle
 Discuss Question

:
PQRS Is A Square. PR And SQ Intersect At O. Then, ∠POQ Is ...
We know that the diagonals of a square intersect each other at right angles.
Hence,
POQ=90.
Question 3.
In the following figure, ABDC and AD=BC. Find the value of x.
In The Following Figure, AB∥DC And AD=BC. Find The Value O...
 Discuss Question

:
Given, an isosceles trapezium, where ABDC, AD = BC and A=60.
Then, B=60.
Draw a line parallel to BC through D which intersects the line AB at E (say).
In The Following Figure, AB∥DC And AD=BC. Find The Value O...
Then, DEBC is a parallelogram, where
BE = CD = 20 cm and DE = BC = 10 cm
Now, DEB+CBE=180
[adjacent angles are supplementary in parallelogram]
DEB=18060=120
InΔADE,ADE=60 [exterior angle]
Also, DEA=60 [ AD = DE = 10cm and DAE=60]
Then, ΔADE is an equilateral triangle.
AE=10cm
AB=AE+EB=10+20=30cm
Hence, x = 30 cm.
Question 4.
The angle between the two altitudes of a parallelogram through the same vertex of an obtuse angle of the parallelogram is 30. The measure of the obtuse angle is
a) 100
b) 150
c) 105
d) 120
 Discuss Question

:
Let EC and FC be altitudes and ECF=30.
The Angle Between The Two Altitudes Of A Parallelogram Throu...
Let EDC=x=FBC
So, ECD=90xandBCF=90x
So, by property of the parallelogram,
ADC+DCB=180ADC+(ECD+ECF+BCF)=180x+90x+30+90x=180x=180210=30x=30
Hence, DCB=30+60+60=150.
Question 5.
Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are ___
 Discuss Question

:
Supplementary
By property of a parallelogram, we know that the adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
Question 6.
A regular polygon is a polygon whose all sides are equal and all ___ are equal.
 Discuss Question

:
Angles
In a regular polygon, all sides are equal and all angles are equal.
Question 7. A quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of equal-length adjacent sides is known as
  1.    Rhombus
  2.    Trapezium
  3.    Parallelogram
  4.    Kite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Kite
:
D
A quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of equal-length adjacent sides is known as akite.
A Quadrilateral With Two Distinct Pairs Of Equal-length Adja...
Question 8. If ABCD is a parallelogram, then the angle bisectors of A and D meet at ‘O’. The measure of AOD is 45
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    All rectangles are rhombuses
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
If ABCD Is A Parallelogram, Then The Angle Bisectors Of  ∠...LetA=x
then D=(180x)
(Since the adjacent angles of a parallelogram sum up to 180)
A2=x2=DAO
andD2=(180x)2=90x2=ADO
In ΔAOD,
AOD+ADO+DAO=180[Angle sum property of a triangle]
AOD=180[ADO+DAO]
AOD=180[x2+90x2]
orAOD=18090=90
The measure of AOD is 90
Question 9. Which of the following are definitely regular polygons?
  1.    Triangle
  2.    Square
  3.    Rhombus
  4.    Rectangle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Square
:
B
A regular polygon is a polygon which is equiangular i.e. all the angles are equal and equilateral i.e. all the sides are equal.
The triangle if equilateral is a regular polygon. If not, it is not a regular polygon.
A rhombus has equal sides but not equal angles.
A Rectangle has equal angles but not equal sides. Hence, they are not regular polygons.
A square has equal sides and equal angles. Hence, it is a regular polygon.
Question 10. Two sides of a kite have lengths 7.8 cm and 11 cm. Then the perimeter of the kite is
  1.    45.5 cm
  2.    48.3 cm
  3.    37.6 cm
  4.    55 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 37.6 cm
:
C
Let ‘a’ be one side of the kite = 7.8 cm
and‘b’ be the other side of the kite = 11 cm

Perimeter of the kite = 2a + 2b units
=2×7.8+2×11=15.6+22=37.6cm
