Question 54 Marks
Atul likes to observe the stars with his telescope. He likes to track the movements of stars in the sky.
He took a picture of the night sky one day. On that day, Mars was equidistant from Saturn and Jupiter.

Image

He draws a circle such that the dots showing the planets Mars (M), Jupiter (J), Saturn (S) and a star Altair (A) lies on the boundary of a circle and ∠SMJ = 150°.
1. What is the measure of ∠SAJ?
  A. 30°
  B. 45°
  C. 150°
  D. 210°
2. Atul claims that the quadrilateral MJAS is a kite.
What additional information is required to conirm his claim?
  A. Distance between Altair and Saturn is equal to the distance between Mars and Jupiter.
  B. Distance between Altair and Jupiter is equal to the distance between Mars and Saturn.
  C. Distance between Altair and Saturn is equal to the distance between Altair and Mars.
  D. Distance between Altair and Saturn is equal to the distance between Altair and Jupiter.
3. The adjacent sides of quadrilateral A are equal to corresponding sides of Quadrilateral B. All angles of Quadrilateral A measure 90°. The angles of Quadrilateral B are 120°, 60°, 120° and 60° respectively.
Which quadrilateral has a greater area? Give reasons.
4. Sanya has a triangular piece of land. She wants to divide it into four equal areas. Suggest a way to do so.
5. Does joining four distinct points always produce a quadrilateral? Justify your answer.

Answer
1. A. 30°
2. D. Distance between Altair and Saturn is equal to the distance between Altair and Jupiter. 
3. Mention Quadrilateral A along with a valid mathematical reason.
● Quadrilateral A, both the quadrilaterals have an equal base but the altitude of Quadrilateral A is greater.
4. Accept a valid mathematical division.
● Sanya can ind mid-points of the sides of the triangular region and create a smaller triangular region by connecting them. In this way, the triangular region can be divided into four triangles of equal area.
● Sanya can divide one side into four equal parts and connect each point on the base to the vertex (this may be a more practical way if all the land owners need some part touching the road for access). 
5. No, with valid justiication.
No, there can be three cases.
● When all the points are collinear, the resulting igure is a line.
● When three points are collinear out of four, the resulting igure is a triangle.
● When no three points out of four are collinear, the resulting igure is a quadrilateral.
