Class 9 - Maths - Quadrilaterals (Worksheet-4)

Q1: ABCD is a parallelogram such that its diagonals are equal. What is the measure of ∠ABC?

Answer: Since diagonals are equal, it must be a rectangle or a square. ∴ ∠ABC = 90°

Q2: Is rhombus a kite or a parallelogram?

Answer: Both

Q3: In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠C = 80° then what is the measure of ∠A?

Answer: In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, ∴ ∠A = ∠C = 80°

Q4: Each diagonal divides the parallelogram into two _________ triangles. (Fill in the blanks)

Answer: congruent

Q5: In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠A is 4/5 of ∠B, then what is ∠A?

Answer: In a parallelogram adjacent angles are supplementary.

Q6: Three angles of a quadrilateral are respectively equal to 110°, 50° and 40°. Find its fourth angles.

Answer: Let the measure of the fourth angles be x°. We know that the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

∴ 110° + 50° + 40° + x° = 360°

x = 360 - 200 = 160° (Answer)

Q7: Each side of a rhombus is 15 cm. if the length of one of its diagonals is 18 cm, then what is the length of the other diagonal?

Answer: In a rhombus diagonals are ⊥ bisectors. As shown in figure, △AOB is a rt. angle △.

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

AB² = BO² + AO²

15² = BO² + 9²

BO² = 225 - 81 = 144

BO = 12

BD = 2 × 12 = 24cm

Q8: Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x − 2)° and (50 − x)°. Find the the value of x.

Answer: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

∴ (3x − 2)° = (50 − x)°

3x + x = 50 + 2

4x = 52

x = 52 / 4 = 13° (Answer)

Q9: ABCD is a rhombus such that ∠ADB = 50°, then what is the measure of ∠ACB?

Answer: In a rhombus diagonals are ⊥ bisectors. As shown in figure, △AOD is a rt. angle △.

Using Angle sum property of △. ∠DAC = 40°

∵ AD ∥ BC

∴ ∠ACB = ∠DAC = 40° (al. interior angles are equal).

Q10: In the given figure, ABCD and AEFG are two parallelograms. If ∠C = 58°, find ∠F.

Answer: The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

In ∥gm ABCD, ∠A = ∠C = 58°

In ∥gm AEFG, ∠F = ∠A = 58° (opp. angles are equal)
