CH-8 Quadrilaterals
Solution
1. (a) 11.2cm
Explanation:
Let AE = x and EB = 3x , AF = y and FC = 3y.
EF = 2.8 cm
AE + AF = 2.8 implies x + y = 2.8
BC = CF + FA + AE + EB
= 3y + y + x + 3x
= 4 ( x + y ) = 4 ( 2.8 ) = 11.2 cm
2. (b) Diagonals of ABCD are equal and perpendicular
Explanation: A quadrilateral formed by joining the mid points of a square is a
square. So, ABCD is a square. In Square, diagonals are equal and perpendicular.
3. (a) E is the mid-Point of AC
Explanation: By the converse of Mid Point Theorem, which states that," If a line
segment is drawn passing through the midpoint of any one side of a triangle and
parallel to another side, then the line segment bisects the remaining third side.
4. (d) EC
Explanation: By midpoint theorem of a triangle E is the midpoint of AC, hence AE =
EC
5. (c) 51cm
Explanation:
Given:
A B C is a triangle .
P Q R are the mid points of sides BC , CA nad AB .
AC = 21 cm
BC = 29 cm
AB = 30 cm
To find :
perimeter of quadrilateral ARQP ?
Q is the mid point of AC
P is the mid point of BC
QP is parallel to AB
QP = half of AB ( according to mid point theorem )
AB = 30 cm , QP = 15 CM ( QP is half of BA ) ( proved above )
R is the mid point of side AB
QP is also parallel to AR ( half of side AB )
PR is parallel to AC
PR = half of AC (according to mid point theorem )
AC = 21 cm , PR = 10.5 cm ( PR is half of AC ) ( proved above )
PR is parallel to AQ ( AQ is half of AC )
Since , in quadrilateral ARQP both the opposite sides are parallel it is a parallelogram.
Therefore , ARQP is a parallelogram .
WE know that
In parallelogram , opp sides are equal .
Therefore ,
PR = AQ = 10.5 cm
QP = AR = 15 cm
10.5 cm + 10.5 cm + 15 cm + 15 cm = 51 cm .
Therefore the perimeter of quadrilateral ARQP = 51 cm .
6. Square
7. isosceles
8. As diagonals of the parallelogram ABCD are equal, hence it is a rectangle. We know

that, each angle of the rectangle is 90° .
ABC = 90o
9. (Angles on the same side of a transversal are supplementary)
5x + 10 = 180o
5x + 170o x = 34o
10. In AOB,
B< A [Given]
OA < OB ...(i) [Side opposite to greater angle is longer]
In COD,
C< D [Given]
OD < OC ...(ii) [Side opposite to greater angle is longer]
Adding eq. (i) and (ii),
OA + OD < OB + OC
AD < BC
11. Let the angles be x, 2x, 3x
x + 2x + 3x = 180o (sum of all angles of a triangle)
6x = 180o
x = 30o
Since x = 30o
2x = 2 30o = 60o
3x = 3 30o = 90o
angles are 30o, 60o, 90o

12.
In ABC
AB = AC
= x [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]
Now in ABC,
120 + x + x = 180
2x = 180 - 120
x = 30
13. ABCD is a quadrilateral P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of the sides DC, CB, BA and AD
respectively.
To prove : PR and QS bisect each other.

Construction : Join PQ, QR, RS, SP, AC and BD.
Proof : In ABC,
As R and Q are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively.
RQ || AC and RQ = AC
Similarly, we can show that
PS || AC and PS = AC
RQ || PS and RQ = PS.
Thus a pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral PQRS are parallel and equal.
PQRS is a parallelogram.
Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
PR and QS bisect each other.
14. Given: PQ = RS, PQ RS, PN QM, RN MS

To prove: MN = PQ, MN PQ
Proof: Since PQ = RS and PQ RS, therefore PQSR is a parallelogram.

PR = QS, PR QS
Since PN QM and MN is the transversal, we have
1= 3 (Corresponding angles) ......................................(i)
Similarly, RN MS, we have
2= 4 ...........................................(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we obtain
1+ 2= 3+ 4 i.e., PNR - QMS
Again, PRS = QSX ........(Corresponding angles as PR QS)
and 6= 5 .......................(Corresponding angles as RN SM)
Subtracting the above two equations, we get
PRS - 6= QSX - 5 i.e., PRN = QSM
Now, in PNR and QMS,
PR - QS (Opp. sides of gm)
PNR = QMS (Proved above)
PRN = QSM
Therefore, By AAS congruence criterion, we have
PNR = QMS
PN = QM (CPCT)
Also, PN QM (Given)
Therefore, PNMQ is a parallelogram.
PQ MN and PQ = MN.
15. Given: A quadrilateral ABCD in which EG and FH are the line-segments joining the
mid-points of opposite sides of a quadrilateral.
To prove: EG and FH bisect each other.

Construction: Join AC, EF, FG, GH and HE.
Proof: In ABC, E and F are the mid-points of respective sides AB and BC.
EF || AC and EF = AC ……….(i)
Similarly, in ADC,
G and H are the mid-points of respective sides CD and AD.
HG || AC and HG = AC ……….(ii)
From eq. (i) and (ii), we get,
EF || HG and EF = HG
EFGH is a parallelogram.
Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore line segments (i.e.
diagonals) EG and FH (of parallelogram EFGH) bisect each other.
Hence, Proved.
