Solution:-

(c) 36o

We know that, sum of all interior angle of quadrilaterals is equal to 360o.

Let us assume the angles be x, 2x, 3x, and 4x

Then,

x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 360o

10x = 360o

x = 360/10

x = 36

Therefore the angles are x = 36o

2x = 2 × 36 = 72o

3x = 3 × 36 = 108o

4x = 4 × 36 = 144o

27. In the trapezium ABCD, the measure of ∠D is

(d) 125o

By observing the given figure ∠D and ∠A are supplementary.

We know that, sum of supplementary angle is equal to 180o.

Then, ∠D + ∠A = 180o

∠D + 55o = 180o

∠D = 180o – 55o

∠D = 125o

240o + x = 360o

x = 360o – 240o

x = 120o

Solution:-

(b) 60o, 120o, 120o

In parallelogram ∠P and ∠Q are supplementary.

We know that, sum of supplementary angle is equal to 180o.

Then, ∠P + ∠Q = 180o

∠60o + ∠Q = 180o

∠P = 180o – 60o

∠P = 120o

And also, opposite angles ∠P and ∠R are equal in parallelogram.

So, ∠P = ∠R = 60o

∠Q = ∠S = 120o

Therefore, the other three angles of parallelograms are 60o, 120o and 120o.

WKT, sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360o

Then,

∠EBF + ∠BED + ∠EDF + ∠DFB = 360o

∠EDF = 360o – (90o + 90o + 30o)

∠EDF = 150o which is an obtuse angle.

Solution:-

(a) 60o

From the given figure,

∠BAD = 30o

∠BCD = 30o … [∵opposite angles of parallelogram are equal]

Now, let us consider the triangle CBD

From angle sum property, ∠DBC + ∠BCD + ∠CDB = 180o

90o + 30o + ∠CDB = 180o

120o + ∠CDB = 180o

∠CDB = 180o – 120o

∠CDB = 60o

∴∠BEC = 60o, because opposite angles of parallelogram are equal.

So, 140o + 40o + 20o + 160o = 360o

In option (d) has angle sum equal to 360o, but one angle is 180o if it is considered then the quadrilateral becomes a triangle.

By the rule of exterior angle property of triangle

∠STO + ∠TSO = ∠SOE

x + 40o = 90o

x = 90o – 40o

x = 50o

So, the value of y – x is = 90o – 40o = 50o

20x = 360o

x = 360/20

x = 18

Therefore the angles are P= x = 18o

Q = 3x = 3 × 18 = 54o

R = 7x = 7 × 18 = 126o

S = 9x = 9 × 18 = 162o

NCERT Exemplars Class 8 Maths Chapter 5 Image 18

Therefore, PQ || RS

Solution:-

In trapezium ABCD with AB||CD, if ∠A = 100o, then ∠D =80o.

We know that, in trapezium adjacent angles of non – parallel sides are supplementary.

∠A + ∠D = 180o

100o + ∠D = 180o

∠D = 180o – 100o

∠D = 80o

91. The polygon in which sum of all exterior angles is equal to the sum of interior angles is called __________.

Q3

What is the meaning of the angle sum property of a polygon, according to NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 5?

As we know, the angle sum property of a triangle means the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. When we start with a polygon with four or more four sides, we need to draw all the possible diagonals from one vertex. The polygon then is broken into several non-overlapping triangles. The angle sum of this polygon for interior angles can be determined by multiplying the number of triangles by 180°. After examining, we can see that the number of triangles is two less than the number of sides, always. An exterior angle of a polygon is made by extending only one of its sides in the outward direction. The angle next to an interior angle, formed by extending the side of the polygon, is the exterior angle. By referring to NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 5, students can score well in the exams.
