Tick the correct answer in the following?
How many diagonals are there in an actagon?
  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $16$
  • C
    $18$
  • $20$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$20$

For a regular n-sided polygon:
Number of diagonals $=\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-3)}{2}$
For an actagon:
$\text{n}=8$
$\frac{8(8-3)}{2}=\frac{40}{2}=20$

Which of the following quadrilaterals has a pair of opposite sides parallel?
  • A
    Rhombus
  • Trapezium
  • C
    Kite
  • D
    Rectangle
Answer
Correct option: B.
Trapezium
We know that, a rectangle is a quadrilateral having both pair of opposite sides equal and parallel.
Also, all its angles are right angles.
Also, a square is a quadrilateral having all sides equal and both pairs of opposite sides parallel. All its angles are right angles.
And, a parallelogram is a quadrilateral having both pairs of opposite sides equal and parallel.
Hence, a parallelogram, square and rectangle has both pairs of opposite sides equal and parallel.
However, a trapezium is a quadrilateral having one pair of opposite sides parallel.

What is the sum of all angles of a hexagon?
  • A
    $180^\circ$​​​​​​​
  • B
    $360^\circ$
  • C
    $540^\circ$
  • $720^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$720^\circ$
D.  $720^\circ$
Solution:
Sum of all angles of a n-gon is $(n - 2) \times 180^\circ.$
In hexagon, $n = 6,$ therefore the required sum $= (6 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 4 \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ.$

Which of the following can never be the measure of exterior angle of a regular polygon?
  • $22^\circ$​​​​​​​
  • B
    $36^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • D
    $30^\circ$​​​​​​​
Answer
Correct option: A.
$22^\circ$​​​​​​​
A.  $22^\circ$
Solution:
Since, we know that, the sum of measures of exterior angles of a polygon is $360^\circ$, i.e. measure of each exterior angle $ = 360^\circ$ n ,where n is the number of sides/ angles.
Thus, measure of each exterior angle will always divide $360^\circ$ completely.
Hence, $22^\circ$ can never be the measure of exterior angle of a regular polygon.

Tick the correct answer in the following? The interior angle of a regular polygon exceeds its exterior angle by $108^\circ $. How many sides does the polygon have?
  • A
    $16$
  • B
    $14$
  • C
    $12$
  • $10$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$10$
Each exterior angle of a regular polygon $=\frac{360}{\text{n}}$
Each interior angle of a regular polygon $=180-\frac{360}{\text{n}}$
$180-\frac{360}{\text{n}}-108=\frac{360}{\text{n}}$
$\frac{720}{\text{n}}=180-108=72$
$\text{n}=\frac{720}{72}=10$

  • $8$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

If one angle of a parallelogram is $24^\circ $ less than twice the smallest angle then the largest angle of the parallelogram is:
  • A
    $68^\circ$
  • B
    $102^\circ$
  • $112^\circ$
  • D
    $176^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$112^\circ$

Let the measure of smallest anlge be $x^\circ $ and other is $(2x - 24)^\circ .$
$\therefore x + (2x - 24) = 180$
$\Rightarrow x + 2x = 180 + 24$
$\Rightarrow 3x = 204$
$\Rightarrow x = 68$
Hence, the samllest angle is $68^\circ .$
Ite adjacent is $= (180 - 68)^\circ = 112^\circ .$
Therefore, the largest angle is $112^\circ .$
