Question 451.


Question 189
Construct a rectangle whose one side is 3 cm and a diagonal is equal to 5 cm.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
We know that, diagonals of a rectangle and opposite sides are equal.
All the angles of the rectangle are the right angles.
So, AC = 5 cm
AB = 3 cm
Question 189Construct A Rectangle Whose One Side Is 3 Cm And...
Steps of Construction
Step I Draw AB = 3 cm.
Step II Draw ray BX such that ABX=90.
Step III Draw an arc such that AC = 5 cm.
Step IV With B as centre, draw an arc of radius 5 cm. With C as centre, draw another arc of radius 3 cm which intersects the first arc at a point, suppose D.
Step V Join CD and AD.
Thus, ABCD is required rectangle.

Question 192
Construct a quadrilateral BEAR in which BE = 6 cm, EA = 7 cm, RB = RE = 5 cm and BA = 9 cm. Measure its fourth side.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
Steps of Construction
Step I Draw a line segment BE = 6 cm
Step II With B as center, draw an arc BR = 5 cm and with E as a centre, draw an arc EA = 7 cm.
Step III Now, draw another arc BA = 9 cm with B as a centre, which cut-off arc AE.
Step IV Draw another arc ER = 5 cm with E as a centre, which cut-off arc BR.
Step V Now join BR, EA and AR.
Thus, we have required quadrilateral BEAR.
Also, AR = 5 cm.

Question 453.


Question 190
Construct a square of side 4 cm.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
We know that, all sides of a square are equal and each side is perpendicular to adjacent side.
So, AB = BC = CD = DA = 4 cm
Question 190Construct A Square Of Side 4 Cm.
Steps of Construction
Step I Draw ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB=4cm
Step II At B, draw ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BX such that ABX=90.
Step III From ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BX, cut-off BC = 4 cm
Step IV With centre C and radius = 4 cm, draw an arc.
Step V With centre A and radius = 4 cm, draw another arc to intersect the previous arc at D.
Step VI Join DA and CD.
Thus, ABCD is the required square.
Question 454.


Question 193
Construct a parallelogram POUR in which PO = 5.5 cm, OU = 7.2 cm and O=70.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
Since,
Question 193Construct A Parallelogram POUR In Which PO = 5.5...
We have ,
PO = RU = 5.5 cm, OU = RP = 7.2 cm
(Since the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
 
Steps of Construction
Step I Draw PO = 5.5 cm.
Step II Construct POX=70.
Step III With O as centre and radius OU = 7.2 cm, draw an arc.
Step IV With U as centre and radius UR = 5.5 cm, draw an arc.
Step V With P as centre and radius PR = 7.2 cm, draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in Step IV.
Step VI Join PR and UR.
Hence, POUR is the required parallelogram.
Question 455.


Question 194
Draw a circle of radius 3 cm and draw its diameter and label it as AC. Construct its perpendicular bisector and let it intersect the circle at B and D. What type of quadrilateral is ABCD? Justify your answer.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
Question 194Draw A Circle Of Radius 3 Cm And Draw Its Diamet...
Steps of Construction
Step I Taking O as centre and radius=OC = 3 cm, draw a circle.
Step II Join A to C and draw a perpendicular bisector of AC that cuts the circumference of the circle at B and D.
Step III Join B and D.
Step IV Thus, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Justification:
In quadrilateral ABCD,
B=D=90     [angle in a semi-circle]
A=C=90 
B+D=180
and A+C=180
opposite angles are supplementary 
Since, opposite angles are supplementary, thus the quadrilateral ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Question 456.


Question 195
Construct a parallelogram HOME with HO = 6 cm, HE = 4 cm and OE = 3 cm.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
Question 195Construct A Parallelogram HOME With HO = 6 Cm, H...
Steps of Construction
Step I Draw HO = 6 cm.
Step II With H as centre and radius HE = 4 cm, draw an arc.
Step III With O as centre and radius OE = 3 cm, draw an arc intersecting the arc drawn in step II at E.
Step IV With E as centre and radius EM = 6 cm, draw an arc opposite to the side HE.
Step V With O as center and radius OM = 4 cm, draw an arc, intersecting the arc drawn in step IV at M.
Step VI Join HE, OE, EM and OM.
Hence, HOME is the required parallelogram.
Question 457.


Question 198
Construct a square in which each diagonal is 5 cm long.

Answer: Option A. ->
:
Question 198Construct A Square In Which Each Diagonal Is 5 C...
Steps of Construction
Step I Draw AC = 5 cm.
Step II With A as center, draw an arc of the length slightly greater than 12 AC above and below the line segment AC.
Step III With C as center, draw an arc of the same length as in step II above and below the line segment AC which intersects the arcs drawn in step II.
Step IV Join both the intersection points obtained in step III by a line segment which intersects AC at O (say).
Step V With O as centre cut-off OB = OD = 2.5 cm along the bisector line.
Step VI Join AD, CD, AB and CB.
This is the required square ABCD.
Question 458.


Question 197
Is it possible to construct a quadrilateral ROAM in which RO = 4 cm, OA = 5 cm, O=120,R=105 and A=135? If not, why?
 


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
No,
Given measures are
OA = 5 cm, O=120,R=105 and A=135
Here, we see that, O+R+A=120+105+135=360
i.e. the sum of three angles of a quadrilateal is 360.
This is impossible, as the total sum of four angles is 360 in a quadrilateral.
Hence, this quadrilateral cannot be constructed.
Question 459.


Question 196
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?
 


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
No,
Given measures are AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 5.4 cm,
DA = 5.9 cm and AC = 8 cm
Here, we observe that AB + BC = 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.
Question 460.


Question 201
Find the measure of each angle of a regular polygon of 20 sides?
 


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
We know that, the sum of interior angles of an n polygon =(n2)×180
Here, n = 20, then
Sum =(202)×180=18×180=3240
The measure of each interior angle =324020=162
