Question 1.
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD,
∠A = 110°
But ∠ C = ∠ A {Opposite angles of a ||gm are equal}

∴ ∠C = 110°
But ∠A + ∠B = 180°
=> 110° + ∠B = 180°
=> ∠B – 180° – 110° = 70°
But ∠ D = ∠ B (opposite angles)
∴ ∠ D = 70°
Hence ∠B = 70°, ∠C = 110° and ∠D = 70° Ans.

Question 2.
Solution:
In a parallelogram, sum of two adjacent angles is 180°
But these are equal to each other
∴ Each angle will be $$\frac { 180^{ o } }{ 2 }$$
= 90° Ans.

Question 3.
Solution:
The ratio between two adjacent angles of a ||gm ABCD are in the ratio 4 : 5

Let ∠ A = 4x and ∠ B = 5x
But ∠A + ∠B = 180°
=> 4x + 5x = 180°
=> 9x = 180°
∴ x = $$\frac { 180^{ o } }{ 9 }$$
= 20°
∴ ∠A = Ax = 4 x 20° = 80°
∠B = 5x = 5 x 20 = 100° Ans.

Question 4.
Solution:
In || gm ABCD, ∠ A and ∠ B are two adjacent angles
Let ∠ A = (3x – 4)° and ∠ B = (3x + 16)°
But ∠A + ∠B = 180°

=> (3x – 4)° + (3x + 16) = 180°
=> 3x – 4° + 3x + 16° = 180°
=> 6x + 12° = 180°
=> 6x= 180° – 12°
=> 6x = 168
=> x = $$\\ \frac { 168 }{ 6 }$$ = 28°
∴ x = 28°
Now ∠A = 3x – 4 = 3 x 28° – 4° = 84° – 4° = 80°
∠B = 3x + 16
= 3 x 28 + 16
= 84°+ 16° = 100°
But ∠C = ∠A (opposite angles of ||gm)
∴ ∠ C = 80°
Similarly ∠ D = ∠ B = 100°
Hence ∠A = 80°, ∠B = 100°, ∠C = 80° and ∠D= 100° Ans.

Question 5.
Solution:
In ||gm ABCD, ∠A and ∠C are opposite angles.
∴ ∠A = ∠C= 130°

But ∠A = ∠C (opposite angles)
∴ ∠A = ∠C
= $$\frac { 130^{ o } }{ 2 }$$
= 65°
But ∠A + ∠B = 180°
=> 65° + ∠B = 180°
=> ∠B = 180° – 65° = 115°
But ∠ D = ∠ B (opposite angles)
∴ ∠D = 115°
Hence ∠A = 65°, ∠B = 115°, ∠C = 65° and ∠ D = 115° Ans.

Question 6.
Solution:
Let ABCD is a parallelogram in which AB : BC = 5:3
Let AB = 5x: and BC = 3x.

But perimeter = 64 cm.
∴ 2(5x + 3x) = 64
=> 2 x 8x = 64
=> 16x = 64
x = $$\\ \frac { 64 }{ 16 }$$
= 4
∴ AB = 5x = 5 x 4 = 20 cm
BC = 3x = 3 x 4=12 cm
But CD = AB and AD = BC
(opposite sides of ||gm)
∴ CD = 20 cm and AD = 12 cm Ans.

Question 7.
Solution:
Perimeter of parallelogram ABCD = 140 cm.
=> ∴ 2 (AB + BC) = 140 cm.
=> AB + BC = $$\\ \frac { 140 }{ 2 }$$ = 70 cm.
Let BC = x

then AB = x + 10
∴ x + x + 10 = 70
=> 2x + 10 = 70
=> 2x = 70 – 10 = 60
=>x = $$\\ \frac { 60 }{ 2 }$$ = 30
∴ BC = 30 cm. and
AB = 30 + 10 = 40 cm.
But AD = BC and CD = AB
(Opposite sides of parallelogram)
∴ AD = 30 cm. and CD = 40 cm.

Question 8.
Solution:
In rectangle ABCD, AC is diagonal BM ⊥ AC and DN ⊥ AC.
Now, we have to prove that
∆BMC ≅ ∆DNA
In ∆BMC and ∆DNA,
BC = AD (opposite sides of the rectangle)
∠M = ∠N (each = 90°)
∠BCM = ∠D AN (Alternate angles)
∴ ∆BMC ≅ ∆DNA
(S.A.A. axiom of congruency)
∴ BM = DN (c.p .c.t.)

Question 9.
Solution:
ABCD is a parallelogram.
AE and CF are the bisectors of ∠A and ∠C respectively.
(Opposite sides of the parallelogram)
∠D = ∠B
(Opposite angles of the parallelogram)
∠DAE = ∠FCB ($$\\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ of equal angles)
(S.A.A. axiom of congruency)
∴ DE = BF (c.p.c.t.)
But CD = AB
(Opposite sides of the parallelogram)
∴ CD – DE = AB – BF
=> EC = AF
and AB || CD
∴ AFCE is a parallelogram
∴ AE || CF.

Question 10.
Solution:
Let ABCD is a rhombus AC and BD are its diagonals which bisect each other at right angles at O.
AC = 16cm and BD = 12cm
∴ AO = $$\\ \frac { 16 }{ 2 }$$ = 8cm

BO = $$\\ \frac { 12 }{ 2 }$$ = 6 cm
Now, in right ∆AOB
AB² = AO² + BO²
(Pythagorus Theorem)
= (8)² + (6)²
= 64 + 36 = 100 = (10)²
∴ AB = 10 cm
But all the sides of a rhombus are equal
∴ Each side will be 10 cm Ans.

Question 11.
Solution:
In square ABCD, AC is its diagonal
∴ Diagonals of a square bisect each angle at the vertex
∴ ∠ CAD = ∠ CAB
But ∠ DAB = 90° (Angle of a square)
∴ ∠ CAD = ∠ CAB = $$\\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ DAB
= $$\\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 90° = 45°
Hence ∠ CAD = 45° Ans.

Question 12.
Solution:
Let ABCD is a rectangle
AB : BC = 5 : 4
Let AB = 5x and BC = 4x.
But perimeter = 90cm

2(AB + BC) = 90
=> 2(5x + 4x) = 90
=> 2 x 9x = 90
=> 18x = 90
x = $$\\ \frac { 90 }{ 18 }$$ = 5
∴ Length (AB) = 5x = 5 x 5 = 25 cm
Breadth (BC) = 4x = 4 x 5 = 20 cm Ans.

Solution:
(i) It is a rectangle
(ii) Square
(iii) rhombus
(iv) rhombus
(v) square
(vi) rectangle.

(i) False
(ii) False
(iii) False
(iv) False
(v) False
(vi) True
(vii) True
(viii) True
(ix) False
(x) True
