3. Prove that the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

Solution:

In the quadrilateral PQRS,

  • ∠PQR, ∠QRS, ∠RSP, and ∠SPQ are the internal angles.
  • PR is a diagonal
  • PR divides the quadrilateral into two triangles, ∆PQR and ∆PSR

We know that the sum of internal angles of a quadrilateral is 360°, that is, ∠PQR + ∠QRS + ∠RSP + ∠SPQ = 360°.

let’s prove that the sum of all the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Now consider triangle PSR,
∠S + ∠SPR + ∠SRP = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)
Now consider triangle PQR,
∠Q + ∠QPR + ∠QRP = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)
On adding both the equations obtained above we have,
(∠S + ∠SPR + ∠SRP) + (∠Q + ∠QPR + ∠QRP) = 180° + 180°
∠S + (∠SPR + ∠QPR) + (∠QRP + ∠SRP) + ∠Q = 360°
We see that (∠SPR + ∠QPR) = ∠SPQ and (∠QRP + ∠SRP) = ∠QRS.
Replacing them we have, ∠S + ∠SPQ + ∠QRS + ∠Q = 360°
That is, ∠S + ∠P + ∠R + ∠Q = 360°.

Or, the sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. This is the angle sum property of quadrilaterals.


4. The three angles of a quadrilateral are 74°, 56°, and 106°. Find the measure fourth angle?

Solution:

Given that the angles of a quadrilateral are 74°, 56°, and 106°.
The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
The quadrilateral consists of four angles.
Let the fourth angle is x.
x + 74° + 56° + 106° = 360°
x = 360° – 74° – 56° – 106°
x = 124°

The fourth angle is 124°.


5. The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2 : 4 : 6 : 8. Find the measure of each of these angles?

Solution:

Given that the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2 : 4 : 6 : 8.
Let the common ratio is x.
2x + 4x + 6x + 8x = 360°
20x = 360°
Divide the above equation by 20 on both sides.
20x/20 = 360°/20
x = 18°
The angle of quadrilaterals are
2x = 2 . 18° = 36°
4x = 4 . 18° = 72°
6x = 6 . 18° = 108°
8x = 8 . 18° = 144°
The measure of each of these angles is 36°, 72°, 108°, 144°.


6. A quadrilateral has three acute angles, each measuring 70°. Find the measure of the fourth angle?

Solution:

Given that a quadrilateral has three acute angles, each measuring 70°.
Sum of four angles in any Quadrilateral =360°
Three angles each =70°
70° + 70° + 70° + fourth angle =360°
Fourth angle =360° – 210°
= 150°

Therefore, the fourth angle is 150°.


7. Three angles of a quadrilateral are equal and the measure of the fourth angle is 90°. Find the measure of each of the equal angles?

Solution:

Given that three angles of a quadrilateral are equal and the measure of the fourth angle is 90°.
Let each unknown angle is x. The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral are equal to 360°
x + x + x + 90° = 360°
3x + 90° = 360°
3x = 360° – 90°
3x = 270°
Divide the above equation by 3 on both sides.
3x/3 = 270°/3
x = 90°

The three angles are 90°, 90°, and 90°.


8. Two angles of a quadrilateral measure 65° and 55° respectively. The other two angles equal. Find the measure of each of these equal angles?

Solution:

Given that two angles of a quadrilateral measure 65° and 55° respectively. The other two angles equal.
The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is equal to 360 degrees.
Let the other two angles be x.
So, x + x + 65° + 55° = 360°
2x + 120° = 360°
2x = 360 – 120° = 240°
x = 240°/2
x = 120 degrees

Hence, the Other two angles are 120 degrees each.


9. Two angles of a quadrilateral measure 45° and 75° respectively. The other two angles equal. Find the measure of each of these equal angles?

Solution:

Given that two angles of a quadrilateral measure 45° and 75° respectively. The other two angles equal.
The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is equal to 360 degrees.
Let the other two angles be x.
So, x + x + 45° + 75° = 360°
2x + 120° = 360°
2x = 360 – 120° = 240°
x = 240°/2
x = 120 degrees

Hence, the Other two angles are 120 degrees each.

Questions on Parallelogram

1. PQRS is a parallelogram in which ∠P = 110°. Find the measure of each of the angles ∠Q, ∠R, and ∠S.

Solution:

In a parallelogram PQRS, if ∠P = 110°, then ∠R = 110°.
The Sum of adjacent angles is supplementary in a parallelogram.
∠P + ∠Q = 180º.
Substitute ∠P value in the above equation.
110º + ∠Q = 180º
∠Q = 180º – 110º
∠Q = 70º
As the Opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram,
∠Q = ∠S = 70º

The final Answer is ∠Q = ∠S = 70º, ∠R = 110°.


2. Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are equal. What is the measure of each of these angles?

Solution:

We know that Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are equal.
Let the angle be m.
Adjacent angles of a parallelogram = 180
m + m = 180
2m = 180
m = 180/2
m = 90.

The final answer is every angle is 90º.


3. The ratio of two sides of a parallelogram is 10 : 8. If its perimeter is 108 cm, find the lengths of its sides?

Solution:

Let the lengths of two sides of the parallelogram be 10a cm and 8a cm respectively.
Find the perimeter using given values.
Then, its perimeter = 2(10a + 8a) cm = 2 (18a) cm = 36a cm.
Therefore, 36a = 108 ⇔ a = 108/36 = 3.

Therefore, one side = (10 × 3) cm = 30 cm and other side = (8 × 3) cm = 24 cm.


4. Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are (6x + 15)° and (2x – 5)°. What is the value of x?

Solution:

The sum of the adjacent angles of parallelogram = 180
6x + 15 + 2x – 5 = 180
8x + 10 = 180
8x = 180 – 10
8x = 170
x = 170/8

The final answer is x = 21.25.


5. The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 16 : 12. If the diagonal measures 100 cm. Find the perimeter of a rectangle?

Solution:

Let m be the common multiple.
Length = 16m
Breadth = 12m
According to Pythagoras theorem,
(16m)² + (12m)²=(100)²
256m²+ 144m² = 10,000
400m² = 10,000
m² = 10,000/400
m = 25
So, Length = 16m = 400 cm
Breadth = 12m = 300 cm
Perimeter = 2 (l × b)
= 2 (400 + 300)
= 1400 cm

So, perimeter of rectangle is 1400 cm.


6. A rhombus has diagonals of 32 cm and 24 cm. Find the length of each side?

Solution:

Given that One diagonal is 32 and another 24 then half of both is 16 and 12. Diagonal of a rhombus bisect at 90º.
By pythogaurus theorem
h² = (16)² + (12)²
h² = 256 + 144 = 400
h = √400 = 20

Side = 20.


7. The sum of two opposite angles of a parallelogram PQRS is 130º find the measure of each of its angles.

Solution:

Given that the sum of two opposite angles of a parallelogram PQRS is 130º.
Let the angle be a. So, because the sum of two opposite angles is 130º.
a + a = 130
2a = 130
a = 65.
So, Again assume that angle is a
65 + 65 + a + a = 360
2a = 360 – 130
2a = 230
a = 115
So, 1st angle is 65
2nd angle is 65
3rd angle is 115
4th angle is 115.


8. In the adjacent figure, PQRS is a parallelogram and line segments PT and RV bisect the angles P and R respectively. Show that PT ∥ RV.

Solution:

parallelogram 6

In triangles PST and RQV, we have PS = QR, ∠Q = ∠S, and ∠SPT = ∠QRV.
[Since, ∠P = ∠R = ¹/₂∠P = ¹/₂∠R, ie., ∠SPT = ∠QRV]
Therefore, ∆ PST ≅ ∆RQV. And therefore, RS – ST = PQ – QV.
So, RT = PV.
Therefore, PTQV is a parallelogram.

Hence, PT ∥ RV.


9. The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 5 : 4 and its perimeter is 90 cm. Find its length and breadth.

Solution:

The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 5 : 4
Let the ratio be m.
so, Length = 5m
Breadth = 4m
Write the formula of the Perimeter of a rectangle and substitute the values in it.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b) = 2(5m + 4m) = 2(9m) = 18m
Now we are given that its perimeter is 90 cm
So, 2 (9m) = 18m
18m = 90
m = 90/18 = 5
So, Length = 5m = 5 . 5 = 25
Breadth = 4m = 4 . 5 = 20

Hence its length and breadth are 25 cm and 20 cm respectively.


10. The perimeter of a parallelogram is 120 cm. If one of the sides is longer than the other by 10 cm, find the length of each of its a side

Solution:

Let the first side is a
then the second side becomes (a + 10)
According to the question 2(a + a + 10) = 120
2(2a + 10) = 120
2a + 10 = 60
2a = 60 – 10
2a = 50
a = 25

First side = a = 25cm
second side = a + 10 = 35cm

(ix) a2 – 17a + 16
(x) a2 – 21a + 90

Solution:

(i) The Given expression is a2 + 5a + 6.
By comparing the given expression a2 + 5a + 6 with the basic expression x^2 + ax + b.
Here, a = 1, b = 5, and c = 6.
The sum of two numbers is m + n = b = 5 = 3 + 2.
The product of two number is m * n = a * c = 1 * (6) = 6 = 3 * 2
From the above two instructions, we can write the values of two numbers m and n as 3 and 2.
Then, a2 + 5a + 6 = a2 + 3a + 2a + 6.
= a (a+ 3) + 2(a + 3).
Factor out the common terms.
(a + 3) (a + 2)

Then, a2 + 5a + 6  = (a + 3) (a + 2).

(ii) The Given expression is a2 + 10a + 24.
By comparing the given expression a2 + 5a + 6 with the basic expression x^2 + ax + b.
Here, a = 1, b = 10, and c = 24.
The sum of two numbers is m + n = b = 10 = 6 + 4.
The product of two number is m * n = a * c = 1 * (24) = 24 = 6 * 4
From the above two instructions, we can write the values of two numbers m and n as 6 and 4.
Then, a2 + 10a + 24 = a2 + 6a + 4a + 24.
= a (a+ 6) + 4(a + 6).
Factor out the common terms.
(a + 6) (a + 4)

Then, a2 + 10a + 24  = (a + 6) (a + 4).

(iii) The Given expression is a2 + 12a + 27.
By comparing the given expression a2 + 12a + 27 with the basic expression x^2 + ax + b.
Here, a = 1, b = 12, and c = 27.
The sum of two numbers is m + n = b = 12 = 9 + 3.
The product of two number is m * n = a * c = 1 * (27) = 27 = 9 * 3
From the above two instructions, we can write the values of two numbers m and n as 9 and 3.
Then, a2 + 12a + 27 = a2 + 9a + 3a + 27.
= a (a+ 9) + 3(a + 9).
Factor out the common terms.
(a + 9) (a + 3)

Then, a2 + 12a + 27  = (a + 9) (a + 3).

The sum of two numbers is m + n = b = 15 = 8 + 7.
The product of two number is m * n = a * c = 1 * (56) = 56 = 8 * 7
From the above two instructions, we can write the values of two numbers m and n as 8 and 7.
Then, a2 + 15a + 56 = a2 + 8a + 7a + 56.
= a (a+ 8) + 7(a + 8).
Factor out the common terms.
(a + 8) (a + 7)

Then, a2 + 15a + 56  = (a + 8) (a + 7).

(v) The Given expression is a2 + 19a + 60.
By comparing the given expression a2 + 19a + 60 with the basic expression x^2 + ax + b.
Here, a = 1, b = 19, and c = 60.
The sum of two numbers is m + n = b = 19 = 15 + 4.
The product of two number is m * n = a * c = 1 * (60) = 60 = 15 * 4
From the above two instructions, we can write the values of two numbers m and n as 15 and 4.
Then, a2 + 19a + 60 = a2 + 15a + 4a + 60.
= a (a+ 15) + 4(a + 15).

(ix) (a^2 – 8a)^2 – 29(a^2 – 8a) + 180.
(x) (p + q)^2 – 8p – 8q + 7.

Solution:

(i) The given expression is 4(x – y)^2 – 14(x – y) – 8.
Replace the (x – y) with p. That is 4p^2 – 14p – 8.
The above expression matches with the basic expression ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 4, b = – 14, c = – 8.
a*c = 4 * ( – 8) = – 32 and b = – 14.
So, – 32 = – 16 * 2 and – 14 = – 16 + 2.
Then, 4p^2 – 16 p + 2p – 8 = 4p(p – 4) + 2(p – 4).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(p – 4) (4p + 2).
Now, replace the term p with the (x – y). That is,
(x – y – 4) (4(x – y) + 2) = (x – y – 4) 2(2x – 2y + 1).

Then, 4(x – y)^2 – 14(x – y) – 8 is equal to 2(x – y – 4) (2x – 2y + 1).

(ii) The given expression is 3(3a + 2)^2 + 5(3a + 2) – 2.
Replace the (3a + 2) with p. That is,
3p^2 + 5p – 2.
The above expression matches with the basic expression ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 3, b = 5, c = – 2.
a*c = 3 * ( – 2) = – 6 and b = 5.
So, – 6 = 6 * (- 1) and 5= 6 – 1.
Then, 3p^2 + 5p – 2 = 3p^2 + 6p – p – 2.
= 3p(p + 2) – (p + 2).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(3p – 1)(p + 2).
Now, replace the term p with the (3a + 2). That is,
(3(3a + 2) – 1) (3a + 2 + 2) = (9a + 6 – 1) (3a + 4)
= (9a + 5) (3a + 4)

Then, 3(3a + 2)^2 + 5(3a + 2) – 2 is equal to (9a + 5) (3a + 4).

The above expression matches with the basic expression ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 2, b = 1, c = – 1.
a*c = 2 * ( – 1) = – 2 and b = 1.
So, – 2 = 2 * ( – 1) and 1 = 2 – 1.
Then, 2p^2 + p – 1 = 2p^2 + 2p – p – 1.
= 2p(p + 1) – (p + 1).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(2p – 1) (p + 1).
Now, replace the term p with the (x + 2y). That is,
(2p – 1) (p + 1) = (2(x + 2y) – 1) (x + 2y + 1).
= (2x + 4y – 1) (x + 2y + 1).

Then, 2(x + 2y)^2 + (x + 2y) – 1 is equal to (2x + 4y – 1) (x + 2y + 1).

Here, a = 1, b = – 1, c = – 6.
a*c = 1 * ( – 6) = – 6 and b = – 1.
So, – 6 = – 3 * 2 and – 1 = – 3 + 2.
Then, p^2 – p – 6 = p^2 – 3p + 2p – 6.
= p(p – 3) + 2(p – 3).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(p – 3) (p + 2).
Now, replace the term p with the (x + y). That is,

Here, a = 1, b = – 38, c = – 80.
a*c = 1 * ( – 80) = – 80 and b = – 38.
So, – 80 = – 40 * 2 and – 38 = – 40 + 2.
Then, p^2 – 38p – 80 = p^2 – 40p + 2p – 80.
= p(p – 40) + 2(p – 40).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,

6p^2 – p – 15.
The above expression matches with the basic expression ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 6, b = – 1, c = – 15.
a*c = 6 * ( – 15) = – 90 and b = – 1.
So, – 90 = – 10 * 9 and – 1 = – 10 + 9.
Then, 6p^2 – p – 15 = 6p^2 – 10p + 9p – 15.
= 2p(3p – 5) + 3(3p – 5).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(3p – 5) (2p + 3).
Now, replace the term p with the (a – b). That is,

The above expression matches with the basic expression ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 1, b = – 16, c = 63.
a*c = 1 * 63 = 63 and b = – 16.
So, 63 = – 7 * ( – 9) and – 16 = – 7 – 9.
Then, p^2 – 16p + 63 = p^2 – 9p – 7p + 63.
= p(p – 9) – 7(p – 9).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(p – 9) (p – 7).
Now, replace the term p with the (x^2 – 3y^2). That is,
(p – 9) (p – 7) = (x^2 – 3y^2 – 9) (x^2 – 3y^2 – 7).

Here, a = 1, b = – 22, c = 72.
a*c = 1 * 72 = 72 and b = – 22.
So, 72 = – 18 * ( – 4) and – 22 = – 18 + ( – 4).
Then, p^2 – 22p + 72 = p^2 – 18p – 4p + 72.
= p(p – 18) – 4(p – 18).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,

Now, replace the term p with the (x^2 + 2x). That is,
(p – 18) (p – 4) = (x^2 + 2x – 18) (x^2 + 2x – 4).

Then, (x^2 + 2x)^2 – 22(x^2 + 2x) + 72 is equal to (x^2 + 2x – 18) (x^2 + 2x – 4).

Here, a = 1, b = – 29, c = 180.
a*c = 1 * 180 = 180 and b = – 29.
So, 180 = – 20 * (- 9) and – 29 = – 20 – 9.
Then, p^2 – 29p + 180 = p^2 – 9p – 20p + 180.
= p(p – 9) – 20(p – 9).

Here, a = 1, b = 7, c = – 18.
a*c = 1 * (- 18) = – 18 and b = 7.
So, – 18 = 9 * ( -2) and 7 = 9 + ( – 2).
Then, x^2 + 7x – 18 = x^2 – 2x + 9x – 18.
= x(x – 2) + 9(x – 2).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(x – 2) (x + 9).
Now, replace the term x with the (a – 2b). That is,
(x – 2) (x + 9) = (a – 2b – 2) (a – 2b+ 9).

Then, (a – 2b)^2 + 7(a – 2b) – 18 is equal to (a – 2b – 2) (a – 2b + 9).

Then, 3p^2 – p – 44 = 3p^2 – 12p + 11p – 44.
= 3p(p – 4) + 11(p – 4)
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(p – 4) (3p + 11).
Now, replace the term p with the (x – y). That is,

Here, a = 1, b = – 10, c = 25.
a*c = 1 * 25 = 25 and b = – 10.
So, 25 = – 5 * ( – 5) and – 10 = – 5 + ( – 5).
Then, p^2 – 10p + 25 = p^2 – 5p – 5p + 25.
= p(p – 5) – 5(p – 5).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(p – 5) (p – 5).
Now, replace the term p with the (a – 4b). That is,

Here, a = 1, b = – 4, c = – 12.
a*c = 1 * ( – 12) = – 12 and b = – 4.
So, – 12 = – 6 * 2 and – 4 = – 6 + 2.
Then, p^2 – 4p – 12 = p^2 – 6p + 2p – 12.
= p(p – 6) + 2(p – 6).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(p – 6) (p + 2).
Now, replace the term p with the (3x – 4). That is,

Then, p^2 + 12p – 45 = p^2 + 15p – 3p – 45.
= p(p + 15) – 3(p + 15).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(p + 15) (p – 3).

(iii) 15x^2y^2 – 21xy + 6
(iv) a^4 – 10a^2 + 9

Solution:

(i) The given expression is 10x^2y^2 – 11xy + 3.
If xy = a, then 10a^2 – 11a + 3.
By comparing the above expression, it matches with the expression ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 10, b = – 11, c = 3
a * c = 10 * 3 = 30, b = – 11.
30 = – 6 * ( – 5) and – 11 = – 6 + ( – 5).
So, 10a^2 – 11a + 3 = 10a^2 – 5a – 6a + 3.
10a^2 – 5a – 6a + 3 = 5a(2a – 1) – 3(2a – 1).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(2a – 1) (5a – 3).
Here, replace a with the xy, then
(2xy – 1) (5xy – 3).

10x^2y^2 – 11xy + 3 is equal to (2xy – 1) (5xy – 3).

(ii) The given expression is 12a^2 + 11a – 5.
By comparing the above expression, it matches with the expression ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 12, b = 11, c = – 5.
a * c = 12 * (- 5) = – 60, b = 11.
-60 = 15 * ( – 4) and 11 = 15 + ( – 4).
So, 12a^2 + 11a – 5= 12a^2 – 4a + 15a – 5.
= 4a(3a – 1) + 5(3a – 1).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(3a – 1) (4a + 5).

12a^2 + 11a – 5 is equal to (3a – 1) (4a + 5).

(iii) The given expression is 15x^2y^2 – 21xy + 6.
If xy = a, then 15a^2 – 21a + 6.
By comparing the above expression, it matches with the expression ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 15, b = – 21, c = 6.
a * c = 15 * 6 = 90 and b = – 21.
90 = – 15 * ( – 6) and – 21 = – 15 + (- 6).
15a^2 – 21a + 6 = 15a^2 – 15a – 6a + 6.
= 15a(a – 1) – 6(a – 1).
Factor out the common terms from the above expression. That is,
(a – 1) (15a – 6).
Replace a with the xy. That is,
(xy – 1) (15xy – 6).

15x^2y^2 – 21xy + 6 is equal to (xy – 1) (15xy – 6).

(iv) The given expression is a^4 – 10a^2 + 9.
We can write it as (a^2)^2 – 10a^2 + 9.
If a^2 = x, then x^2 – 10x + 9.
By comparing the above expression with the basic expressions, it matches with the ax^2 + bx + c.
Here, a = 1, b = – 10, c = 9.
a * c = 1 * 9 = 9 and b = – 10.
9 = – 9 * ( – 1) and – 10 = – 9 – 1.
x^2 – 9x – x + 9 = x(x – 9) – (x – 9).
Factoring out common terms from the above expression. That is,
(x – 9) (x – 1).
Replace the x with a^2. That is,
(a^2 – 9) (a^2 – 1).

a^4 – 10a^2 + 9 is equal to (a^2 – 9) (a^2 – 1).
