Question 12 Marks
To verify the different properties of quadrilaterals.

Image

Answer
Material: A piece of plywood measuring about 15 cm x 10 cm, 15 thin screws, twine, scissor.
Note: On the plywood sheet, fix five screws in a horizontal row keeping a distance of 2 cm between any two adjacent screws. Similarly make two more rows of screws exactly below the first one. Take care that the vertical distance between any two adjacent screws is also 2 cm.
With the help of the screws, make different types of quadrilaterals of twine. Verify the properties of sides and angles of the quadrilaterals.

Question 22 Marks
Draw a parallelogram PQRS. Draw diagonals PR and QS. Denote the intersection of diagonals by letter O. Compare the two parts of each diagonal with a divider. What do you find?

Image

Answer
seg OP = seg OR, and seg OQ = seg OS
Thus we can conclude that, point O divides the diagonals PR and QS in two equal parts.

Question 92 Marks
Points D and E are the midpoints of side AB and side AC of ∆ABC respectively. Point F is on ray ED such that ED = DF. Prove that □AFBE is a parallelogram. For this example write ‘given’ and ‘to prove’ and complete the proof.

Image
Given: D and E are the midpoints of side AB and side AC respectively.
ED = DF
To prove: □AFBE is a parallelogram.

Answer
Proof:
seg AB and seg EF are the diagonals of □AFBE.
seg AD ≅ seg DB [Given]
seg DE ≅ seg DF [Given]
∴ Diagonals of □AFBE bisect each other.
∴ □AFBE is a parallelogram. [ By test of parallelogram]

Question 102 Marks
Using opposite angles test for parallelogram, prove that every rectangle is a parallelogram.

Image
Given:
□ABCD is a rectangle.
To prove: Rectangle ABCD is a parallelogram.

Answer
Proof:
□ABCD is a rectangle.
∴ ∠A ≅ ∠C = 90° [Given]
∠B ≅ ∠D = 90° [Angles of a rectangle]
∴ Rectangle ABCD is a parallelogram. [A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if pairs of its opposite angles are congruent]
