Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.2
Question 1.
The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2 : 4 : 5 : 7. Find all the angles.
Solution:
Let the angles of a quadrilateral be 2x, 4x, 5x, and 7x.
Total angle of a quadrilateral = 360°
2x + 4x + 5x + 7x = 360°
18° = 360°
x = \(\frac{360°}{18}\)
= 20°
2x = 2 × 20° = 40°; 4x = 4 × 20° = 80°;
5x = 5 × 20° = 100°; 7x = 7 × 20° = 140°
The angles of a quadrilateral are 40°, 80°, 100° and 140°.
Question 2.
In a quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A = 72° and ∠C is the supplementary of ∠A. The other two angles are 2x – 10 and x + 4. Find the value of x and the measure of all the angles.
Solution:
∠A = 72°
∠C = 180° – 12° (∠A and ∠C are supplementary)
= 108°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° (Total angles of quadrilateral)
72° + 2x – 10 + 108° + x + 4 = 360°
3x + 174° = 360°
x = \(\frac{186°}{3}\)
= 62°
The value of x is 62°
∠B = 2x – 10
= 2(62°) – 10
= 124° – 10°
= 114°
∠D = x + 4
= 62° + 4
= 66°
The other angles are 114°, 62° and 66°.
Question 3.
ABCD is a rectangle whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at O. If ∠OAB = 46°, find ∠OBC.
Solution:
Since the diagonals of a rectangle AC and BD are equal and bisect each other
∴ OA = OB
∠OAB = ∠OBA = 46°
Each angle of a rectangle measures 90°
∠ABC = 90°
∠ABO + ∠OBC = 90°
46° + ∠OBC = 90°
∠OBC = 90°-46°
∴ ∠OBC = 44°
Question 4.
The lengths of the diagonals of a Rhombus are 12 cm and 16 cm. Find the side of the rhombus.
Solution:
Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles
AO = \(\frac{1}{2}\)AC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 12 = 6 cm
BO = \(\frac{1}{2}\)BD = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 16 = 8 cm
In the right triangle AOD
AD² = AO² + DO²
= 6² + 8²
= 36 + 64
= 100
∴ AD = \(\sqrt{100}\)
= 10
∴ AB = BC = CD = AD = 10 cm.
Question 5.
Show that the bisectors of angles of a parallelogram form a rectangle.
Solution:
Given: A parallelogram in which bisector of angle A, B, C, D intersect at P, Q, R, S to form a quadrilateral PQRS.
To prove: Quadrilateral PQRS is a rectangle.
Proof: Since ABCD is a parallelogram. Therefore, AB || DC.
Now, AB || DC, and transversal AD cuts them, so we have
∠A + ∠D = 180°
\(\frac{1}{2}\)∠A + \(\frac{1}{2}\)∠D = \(\frac{180°}{2}\)
∠DAS + ∠ADS = 90°
But in ΔASD, we have
∠ADS + ∠DAS + ∠ASD = 180°
90° + ∠ASD = 180°
∠ASD = 90°
∠RSP = ∠ASD (vertically opposite angle)
∠RSP = 90°
Similarly, we can prove that
∠SRQ = 90°, ∠RQP = 90° and ∠QPS = 90°
Thus, PQRS is a quadrilateral each of whose angle is 90°.
Hence, PQRS is a rectangle.
Question 6.
If a triangle and a parallelogram lie on the same base and between the same parallels then prove that the area of the triangle is equal to half of the area of parallelogram.
Solution:
Let ΔAPB and parallelogram ABCD lie on base AB and between parallels AB and PC.
To show area ΔAPB = \(\frac{1}{2}\) Area (ABCD)
Now, draw BQ || AP. Then ABQP is a parallelogram.
Now area ABQP = Area ABCD
(They are on same base AB and between same parallels AB and PC)
⇒ ΔPAB ≅ ΔBQP
Area PAB = Area BQP
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) Area ABQP
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) Area ABCD
Question 7.
Iron rods a, b, c, d, e, and f are making a design in a bridge as shown in the figure.
If a || b, c || d, e || f, find the marked angles between
(i) b and c
(ii) d and e
(iii) d and f
(iv) c and f
Solution:
(i) Angle between b and c = 30°
(vertically opposite angles)
(ii) Angle between d and e = 180° – 75° = 105°
(sum of the adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°)
(iii) Angle between d and f = 75°
(opposite angles of a parallelogram)
(iv) Angle between c and f = 180° – 75° = 105°
(Adjacent angles of a parallelogram)
Question 8.
In the given figure, ∠A = 64°, ∠ABC = 58°. If BO and CO are the bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACB respectively of ΔABC, find x° and y°.
Solution:
In the given ΔABC
∠A = 64° and ∠B = 58°
∠C = 180°- (64° + 58°)
= 180° – 122°
= 58°
Since OC is the bisector of ∠C
y = \(\frac{58°}{2}\)
= 29°
Given ΔOBC
∠OCB = \(\frac{58°}{2}\) = 29°
∠OCB = 29°
∴ ∠BOC = 180°- (29° + 29°)
x = 180° – 58°
x = 122°
∠x = 122° and ∠y = 29°.
Question 9.
In the given figure, if AB = 2, BC = 6, AE = 6, BF = 8, CE = 7 and CF = 7, compute the ratio of the area of quadrilateral ABDE to the area of ΔCDF.
Solution:
Given: AB = 2 cm, BC = 6 cm, AE = 6 cm, BF = 8 cm, CE = 7 cm and CF = 7 cm
Consider ΔAEC and ΔBCF.
In ΔAEC, AE = 6 cm, EC = 7 cm and AC = 8 cm (2 + 6 = 8)
In ΔBCF, BC = 6 cm, CF = 7 cm and BF = 8 cm
∴ ΔAEC s ΔBCF
∴ Area of ΔAEC = Area of ΔBCF (Two triangles are similar areas are equal)
Subtract area of ΔBDC on both sides we get,
Area of ΔAEC – Area of ΔBDC = Area of ΔBCF – Area of ΔBDC
Area of quadrilateral ABDE = Area of ΔCDF
Question 10.
In the given figure, ABCD is a rectangle and EFGH is a parallelogram. Using the measurements given in the figure, what is the length ”d” of the segment that is perpendicular to \(\overline { HE }\) and \(\overline { FG }\)?
Solution:
In the given figure ABCD is a rectangle and EFGH is a parallelogram.
In the right triangle AEH
HE = \(\sqrt{AH^{2} + AE^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{3^{2} + 4^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{9 + 16}\)
= \(\sqrt{25}\)
HE = 5
∴ GF = 5 (HE and Gf are opposite sides of a parallelogram)
In the right triangle
GC = \(\sqrt{GF^{2} – FC^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{5^{2} – 3^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{25 – 9}\)
= \(\sqrt{16}\)
∴ DG = 10 – 6 = 4
Area of ΔAEH + Area of ΔBEF + Area of ΔFCG + Area of ΔHDG
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 3 × 4 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 6 × 5 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 3 × 4 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 5 × 6
= (6 + 15 + 6 + 15)
= 42
∴ Area of 4 triangles = 42
Area of the parallelogram = Area of the rectangle ABCD – Area of 4 triangles.
= 10 × 8 – 42
= 80 – 42
= 38
b × h = 38
5 × d = 38
d = \(\frac{38}{5}\)
= 7\(\frac{3}{5}\)
Length of d = 7\(\frac{3}{5}\) or 7.6
Question 11.
In parallelogram ABCD of the accompanying diagram, line DP is drawn bisecting BC at N and meeting AB (extended) at P. From vertex C, line CQ is drawn bisecting side AD at M and meeting AB (extended) at Q. Lines DP and CQ meet at O. Show that the area of triangle QPO is \(\frac{9}{8}\) of the area of the parallelogram ABCD.
Solution:
Draw OX perpendicular to QP.
In ΔADP, MN = \(\frac{1}{2}\) AP,
In ΔBCQ, MN = \(\frac{1}{2}\) QB
So, AP = BQ (or) AB + BP = AB + QA
∴ PB = QA
∴ QA = AB = BP (or) QP = QA + AB + BP = 3 AB
Area of ΔOQP = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × QP × OX
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 3 AB × OX
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) × AB × OX
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) AB (OY + YX)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) × AB × OY + \(\frac{3}{2}\) × AB × YX (AB = MN)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) × MN × OY + \(\frac{3}{2}\) × AB × YX
= 3 Area ΔOMN + \(\frac{3}{2}\) + Area ΔBNM
= 3[\(\frac{1}{4}\) area of MNCD] + \(\frac{3}{2}\)[\(\frac{1}{2}\) area of ABCD]
= \(\frac{3}{4}\)[\(\frac{1}{2}\) area of ABCD] + \(\frac{3}{4}\)[area of ABCD]
= \(\frac{3}{8}\) area of ABCD + \(\frac{3}{4}\) area of ABCD
= area of ABCD [\(\frac{3}{8}\) + \(\frac{3}{4}\)]
= area of ABCD (\(\frac{3+6}{8}\))
= \(\frac{9}{8}\) area of ABCD.
Hence it is proved.
