Question 81.
The sum of angles of a concave quadrilateral is
a) More than 360
b) Less than 360
c) Equal to 360
d) Twice of 360
 Discuss Question

:
We know that the sum of interior angles of any polygon (convex or concave) having n sides is (n2)×180.
The sum of angles of a concave quadrilateral is (42)×180=360.
Question 82.
Two sticks each of length 7 cm are crossing each other such that they bisect each other at right angles. What shape is formed by joining their end points? Give reason.
 Discuss Question

:
Sticks can be treated as the diagonals of a quadrilateral.
Now, since the diagonals (sticks) are bisecting each other each other at right angles, therefore the shape formed by joining their end points can be a rhombus or a square.
Both the sticks are of the same length. This means that the diagonals of the quadrilateral formed are equal and also bisect each other perpendicularly.
The shape formed is that of a square.
Question 83.
Which of the following figures satisfy the following property?
 -Has two pairs of congruent adjacent sides.

Which Of The Following Figures Satisfy The Following Propert...
Which Of The Following Figures Satisfy The Following Propert...
Which Of The Following Figures Satisfy The Following Propert...
Which Of The Following Figures Satisfy The Following Propert...
 Discuss Question

:
We know that, a kite has two pairs of congruent adjacent sides and we can observe that figure R resembles a kite.
Question 84.
A rhombus can be constructed uniquely, if both diagonals are given.
 Discuss Question

:
True
A rhombus can be constructed uniquely, if both diagonals are given.
Question 85.
A polygon is a simple closed curve made up of only ___.
 Discuss Question

:
Line segments.
A closed curve made up of only line segments is called a polygon.
Question 86.
In the figure, BEST is a rhombus, then the value of y - x is
a) 40
b) 50
c) 20
d) 10
In The Figure, BEST Is A Rhombus, Then The Value Of Y - X Is...
 Discuss Question

:
Given: BEST is a rhombus, so,
TSBE
and BS is a transversal.
SBE=TSB=40 [alternate interior anges]
Also,y=90 [diagonals of a rhombus bisect at 90]
In ΔTSO,
STO+TSO+SOT=180 [Angle sum property of a triangle]
x+40+90=180x=1809040=50
yx=9050=40
Question 87.
All squares are rectangles.
 Discuss Question

:
True.
A square a quadrilateral with allfour angles right angles. Therefore, we can say that all squares are rectangles but vice-versa is not true.
Question 88.
In parallelogram FIST, find SFT,OST and STO.
In Parallelogram FIST, Find ∠SFT,∠OST And ∠STO.
 Discuss Question

:
Given, FIS=60
Now, FTS=FIS=60 [ opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]
Now, FTIS and TI is a transversal, therefore FIO=STO=35 [alternate angles]
Also, FOT+SOT=180 [linear pair]
110+SOT=180
SOT=70
In ΔTOS,TSO+OTS+TOS=180 [angle sum property of triangle]
OST=180(70+35)=75
In ΔFST,SFT+FTS+TSF=180 [angle sum property of triangle]
SFT=180(60+75)SFT=45
Question 89.
How many non-overlapping triangles can we make in an n-gon (polygon having n sides), by joining the vertices?
a) n - 1
b) n - 2
c) n - 3
d) n - 4
 Discuss Question

:
The number of non-overlapping triangles in an n-gon = n - 2,
i.e. 2 less than the number of sides.
Question 90.
ABCD is a parallelogram. Point P and Q are taken on the sides AB and AD, respectively and the parallelogram PRQA is formed. If C=45, find R.
 Discuss Question

:
Let ABCD be a parallelogram,
where C=45
ABCD Is A Parallelogram. Point P And Q Are Taken On The Side...
Since, ABCD is a parallelogram,
A=C [opposite angles of parallelogram are equal]
Again, since PRQA is a parallelogram,
A=R [opposite angles of parallelogram are equal]
R=45 [A=C=45]
