Practice Set 5.1 Page 62

1. Diagonals of a parallelogram WXYZ intersect each other at point O. If XYZ = 135° then what is the measure of XWZ and YZW ? If l(OY)= 5 cm then l(WY)= ?

Solution:Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-1

Given XYZ = 135˚

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

XWZ = XYZ = 135˚

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

YZW+XWZ = 180˚

YZW+135˚ = 180˚

YZW = 180˚-135˚ = 45˚

Given l(OY) = 5 cm

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

l(WY) = 2×OY = 2×5 = 10 cm

Measure of XWZ and YZW are 135˚ and 45˚ respectively.

Length of WY is 10 cm.

2. In a parallelogram ABCD, If A = (3x + 12)°, B = (2x – 32)° then find the value of x and then find the measures of C and D.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-2

Given A = (3x+12)˚

B = (2x-32)˚

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

C = A ….(i)

C = (3x+12)˚

D = B ….(ii)

D = (2x-32)˚

In a quadrilateral, the sum of all the angles is equal to 360˚.

In ABCD,

A+B+C+D = 360˚

3x+12+2x-32+3x+12+2x-32 = 360

10x-40 = 360

10x = 360+40 = 400

x = 400/10 = 40

A = (3x+12)˚

A = 3×40+12

A = 120+12

A = 132˚

C = 132˚ [From (i)]

B = (2x-32)˚

B = 2×40-32

B = 80-32

B = 48˚

D = 48˚ [From (ii)]

Hence measure of x is 40.

Also, measure of C and D are 132˚ and 48˚ respectively.

3. Perimeter of a parallelogram is 150 cm. One of its sides is greater than the other side by 25 cm. Find the lengths of all sides.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-3

Let PQRS be the parallelogram.

Let the length PQ be x.

Given other side is greater by 25cm.

PS = x+25

Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal,

PQ = SR

PS = QR

Given perimeter of PQRS = 150cm.

PQ+QR+SR+PS = 150

x+x+25+x+x+25 = 150

4x+50 = 150

4x = 150-50

4x = 100

x = 100/4 = 25

PQ = SR = x = 25 cm

PS = QR = x+25 = 25+25 = 50 cm

Hence the lengths of the sides of the parallelogram are 25 cm , 50 cm , 25 cm and 50 cm.

4. If the ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 1 : 2, find the measures of all angles of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-4

Let ABCD be the parallelogram.

Given the ratio of measures of two adjacent angles is 1:2.

Let A = x

B = 2x

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

A+B = 180˚

x+2x = 180

3x = 180

x = 180/3 = 60

A = 60˚

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

C = 60˚

B = D = 2x

B = D = 2×60 = 120˚

Hence the angles of the parallelogram are 60˚,120˚,60˚ and 120˚.

5* . Diagonals of a parallelogram intersect each other at point O. If AO = 5, BO = 12 and AB = 13 then show that ABCD is a rhombus.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-5

Given : AO = 5, BO = 12, AB = 13

To prove : ABCD is a rhombus.

Proof:

Given AO = 5, BO = 12, AB = 13

AO2+BO2 = 52+122 = 25+144 = 169

AB2 = 132 = 169

AO2+BO2 = AB2

Hence these form a Pythagorean triplet.

AOB is a right angled triangle.

AOB = 90˚

seg AC seg BD

Hence in parallelogram ABCD, seg AC seg BD.

i.e, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

Rhombus is a parallelogram whose diagonals meet at right angles.

Hence ABCD is a rhombus.

Hence proved.

6. In the figure 5.12, PQRS and ABCR are two parallelograms. If P = 110° then find the measures of all angles of ABCR.

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-6

Solution:

In PQRS Given P = 110˚

R = P [Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]

R = 110˚

In ABCR , R = 110˚

B = R [Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]

B = 110˚

A+B = 180˚ [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]

A+110˚ = 180˚

A = 180-110 = 70˚

C = A [Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]

C = 70˚

Hence, in ABCR, A is 70˚, B is 110˚, C is 70˚ and R is 110˚.

7. In figure 5.13 ABCD is a parallelogram. Point E is on the ray AB such that BE = AB then prove that line ED bisects seg BC at point F.

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-7

To prove: Line ED bisects seg BC at point F.

Proof:

AB CD …(i) [Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent]

AEDC, DE is the transversal.

BEF FDC [Alternate interior angles]

AEDC, BC is the transversal.

EBF = FCD [Alternate interior angles]

Given BE = AB

BE CD [From (i)]

By ASA test, BEF CDF.

FB FC [c.s.c.t]

Line ED bisects seg BC at point F.

Hence proved.

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-8

Solution:

Proof:

AP = ½ AB [P is the midpoint of AB]

QC = ½ DC [Q is the midpoint of DC]

Given ABCD is a parallelogram

So AB = DC [Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal]

½ AB = ½ DC

AP = QC…(iii) [from (i) and (ii)]

ABDC [Opposite sides of parallelogram are parallel]

APQC….(iv)

APCQ is a parallelogram. [From (iii) and (iv)]

Hence proved.

2. Using opposite angles test for parallelogram, prove that every rectangle is a parallelogram.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-9

Proof:

PQRS is a rectangle.

P = R = 90˚

Q = S = 90˚

Here opposite angles of the quadrilateral are congruent.

A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its pairs of opposite angles are congruent.

Hence rectangle PQRS is a parallelogram.

Hence proved.

3. In figure 5.23, G is the point of concurrence of medians of DEF. Take point H on ray DG such that D-G-H and DG = GH, then prove that GEHF is a parallelogram.

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-10

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-11

Let ray DH intersect seg EF at point A such that E-A-F.

seg DA is the median of DEF.

EA = FA ……(i)

Point G is the centroid of DEF.

Since, the centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1

DG/GA = 2/1

DG = 2(GA)

GH = 2(GA) [Given DG = GH]

GA+HA = 2(GA) [G-A-H]

HA = 2(GA) – GA

HA = GA ….(ii)

A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if its diagonals bisect each other.

From (i) and (ii),

GEHF is a parallelogram.

Hence proved.

4. Prove that quadrilateral formed by the intersection of angle bisectors of all angles of a parallelogram is a rectangle. (Figure 5.24)

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-12

Solution:

Given ABCD is a parallelogram.

DCAB. DA is the transversal.

A+D = 180˚ [Corresponding angles on same side of transversal are supplementary]

Multiply both sides by ½

½ A+ ½ D = 90˚….(i)

Let ½ A = e and ½ D = f

½ A = SAD = RAB = e [∵AS is the angle bisector of A.]

½ D = SDA = SDC = f [∵DS is the angle bisector of D.]

SAD+SDA = 90˚ [From (i)]

e+f = 90

ASD = 90˚ [Sum of all angles in ASD is 180˚]

PSR = ASD

PSR = 90˚ [Vertically opposite angles]

ADBC. AB is the transversal.

A+B = 180˚ [Corresponding angles on same side of transversal are supplementary]

Multiply both sides by ½

½ A+ ½ B = 90˚….(ii)

Let ½ B = g

½ A = SAD = RAB = e [∵AS is the angle bisector of A.]

½ B = ABR = CBR = g [∵BR is the angle bisector of B.]

SAD+ABR = 90˚ from (ii)

i.e, e+g = 90˚

In ARB,

ARB+RAB+ABR = 180˚

ARB = SRQ

SRQ+e+g = 180

SRQ = 90˚ [∵e+g = 90]

DCAB. BC is the transversal.

B+C = 180˚ [Corresponding angles on same side of transversal are supplementary]

Multiply both sides by ½

½ B+ ½ C = 90˚….(ii)

½ B = QBC = ABR [∵BQ is the angle bisector of B.]

½ C = QCB [∵CQ is the angle bisector of C.]

QBC+QCB = 90˚ [From (ii)]

BQC = 90˚ [Sum of all angles in BQC is 180˚]

PQR = BQC = 90˚ [Vertically opposite angles]

PQR = 90˚

Similarly, we can prove that QPS = 90˚

Here QRS = PRS = SRQ = QPS = 90˚

Hence PQRS is a quadrilateral whose angles are 90˚ each.

PQRS is a rectangle.

Hence proved.

5. In figure 5.25, if points P, Q, R, S are on the sides of parallelogram such that AP = BQ = CR = DS then prove that PQRS is a parallelogram.

AP= BQ = CR = DS

To prove : PQRS is a parallelogram.

Proof:

AB = DC [Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal]

AP+BP = DR+CR

AP+BP = DR+AP [Given AP = CR]

BP = DR …(i)

B = D …(ii) [Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]

In BPQ and DRS,

BP DR [from (i)]

BQ DS [Given]

B D [from (ii)]

By SAS test BPQ DRS.

SR = PQ …(iii) [c.s.c.t]

Similarly we can prove that PAS RCQ.

PS = RQ …(iv)

From (iii) and (iv)

PQRS is a parallelogram [If opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal, then it is a parallelogram]

Hence proved.

Practice Set 5.3 Page 69

1. Diagonals of a rectangle ABCD intersect at point O. If AC = 8 cm then find BO and if CAD = 35° then find ACB.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-14

Given AC = 8cm

Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

AC = BD

BD = 8cm

BO = ½ BD [Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other]

BO = ½ ×8 = 4 cm

Given CAD = 35˚

CAD = ACB [Alternate interior angles]

ACB = 35˚

Hence measure of BO is 4 cm and ACB is 35˚.

2. In a rhombus PQRS if PQ = 7.5 then find QR. If QPS = 75° then find the measure of PQR and SRQ.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-15

Given PQ = 7.5

QR = PQ = 7.5 [All sides of rhombus are equal]

QPS = 75˚

SRQ = QPS [Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal]

SRQ = 75˚

QPS+PQR = 180˚ [Adjacent angles of a rhombus are supplementary]

75˚+PQR = 180˚

PQR = 180-75 = 105˚

Hence the measure of PQR and SRQ are 105˚ and 75˚ respectively.

3. Diagonals of a square IJKL intersects at point M, Find the measures of ∠IMJ, ∠JIK and ∠LJK .

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-16

Diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors of each other.

seg JL seg IK

IMJ = 90˚

JIL = 90˚ [Angle of a square]

Diagonals of a square bisect opposite angles.

JIK = 90/2 = 45˚

IJK = 90˚ [Angle of a square]

LJK = 90/2 = 45˚

Hence measures of IMJ, JIK, LJK are 90˚, 45˚ and 45˚.

4. Diagonals of a rhombus are 20 cm and 21 cm respectively, then find the side of rhombus and its perimeter.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-17

Let PQRS be the rhombus.

Let PR = 20 cm

QS = 21 cm

PO = PR/2 [Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]

PO = 20/2 = 10 cm

QO = QS/2 [Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]

QO = 21/2 = 10.5 cm

POQ = 90˚ [Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other]

In POQ ,

PQ2 = PO2+QO2 [Pythagoras theorem]

PQ2 = (20/2)2+(21/2)2

PQ = √[(400+441)/4]

PQ = √(841/4)

PQ = 29/2 = 14.5 cm

Perimeter = 4×PQ = 4×14.5 = 58 cm

Hence side and perimeter of the rhombus are 14.5 cm and 58 cm respectively.

(A) rectangle (B) parallelogram (C) trapezium, (D) rhombus

Solution:

If all the pairs of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then it is a rhombus.

Hence Option D is the answer.

(ii) If the diagonal of a square is 12√2 cm then the perimeter of square is ……

(A) 24 cm (B) 24 2 cm (C) 48 cm (D) 48 2 cm

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-26

Here AC = 12√2

AD = DC [sides of square are equal]

In ADC,

AC2 = AD2+DC2 [Pythagoras theorem]

AC2 = AD2+AD2 [AD = DC]

AC2 = 2AD2

AC = √2×AD

12√2 = √2 ×AD

2. Adjacent sides of a rectangle are 7 cm and 24 cm. Find the length of its diagonal.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-27

Given PQ = 24 cm

In PQR,

Q = 90˚ [Angle in a rectangle]

PR2 = PQ2+QR2 [Pythagoras theorem]

PR2 = 242+72

PR2 = 576+49

PR2 = 625

Taking square root on both sides,

PR = 25

Hence the diagonal is 25 cm long.

3. If diagonal of a square is 13 cm then find its side.

Taking square root on both sides

SQ = SR×√2

13 = SR×√2

SR = 13/√2 = 13×√2/(√2×√2)

= 13√2/2 = 6.5√2 cm

Hence length of side is 6.5√2 cm.

4. Ratio of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 3 : 4, and its perimeter is 112 cm. Find the length of its each side.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-29

Given ratio of adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 3:4.

Let PQ = SR = 4x

PS = QR = 3x

Perimeter = 112 [Given]

4x+3x+4x+3x+ = 112

14x = 112

x = 112/14 = 8

PQ = SR = 4x

PQ = SR = 4×8 = 32 cm

PS = QR = 3x

PS = QR = 3×8 = 24 cm

Hence lengths of the sides of the parallelogram are 32 cm, 24 cm , 32 cm and 24 cm .

5. Diagonals PR and QS of a rhombus PQRS are 20 cm and 48 cm respectively. Find the length of side PQ.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-30

Given PR = 20

QS = 48

QT = QS/2 = 48/2 = 24 [Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]

PT = PR/2 = 20/2 = 10 [Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]

In PQT,

PTQ = 90˚ [Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other.]

PQ2 = PT2+QT2

PQ2 = 102+242

PQ2 = 100+576

PQ2 = 676

Taking square root on both sides,

PQ = 26

Hence measure of side PQ is 26 cm.

6. Diagonals of a rectangle PQRS are intersecting in point M. If QMR = 50° then find the measure of MPS.

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-31

Given QMR = 50˚

SMP = 50˚ [Vertically opposite angles]

PR = SQ …(i) [Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent]

PM = ½ PR …(ii) [Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other]

MS = ½ SQ….(iii) [Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other]

PM = MS…(iv) [From (i) ,(ii) and (iii)]

MSP = MPS…(v) [Isoceles triangle theorem]

In SMP,

MSP +MPS+SMP = 180˚ [Angle sum property of triangle]

MPS+MPS+50˚ = 180˚ [From (i) and (v)]

2MPS = 180-50 = 130˚

MPS = 130/2 = 65˚

Hence measure of MPS is 65˚.

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-33

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 5-34

Construction: Join BP and extend it to meet CD produced at R.

To prove: PQ AB and  PQ = ½ (AB+DC)

Proof:

In ABP and DRP,

APB =DPR              [Vertically opposite angles]

PDA =PAB              [Alternate interior angles ]

AP = PD                            [P is the mid point of DA]

APB = DPR             [Vertically opposite angles]

PDA = PAB             [ Alternate interior angles]

AP = PD                            [P is the mid point of DA]

By ASA test  ABP  DRP.

PB = PR [c.s.c.t]

AB = RD [c.s.c.t]

In BRC,

Given Q is the mid point of BC

P is the mid point of BR                      [ ∵PB = PR]

So, by midpoint theorem, PQ RC

⇒⇒PQ DC

Given AB DC

So, PQ AB.

Also, PQ = ½ RC

PQ = ½ (RD+DC)

PQ = ½ (AB+DC)  [∵AB = RD]

Hence proved.
