Important Questions Class 8 Mathematics Chapter 3 – Understanding Quadrilaterals

Mathematics deals with numbers of various forms, shapes, logic, quantity and arrangements. Mathematics also teaches us to solve problems based on numerical calculations and find solutions.

Quick Links

Chapter 3 of Class 8 Mathematics is called ‘Understanding Quadrilaterals’. A quadrilateral is a closed shape and also a type of polygon that has four sides, four vertices and four angles. It is formed by joining four non-collinear points. The sum of all the interior angles of a quadrilateral is always equal to 360 degrees. In a quadrilateral, the sides are straight lines and are two-dimensional. Square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, etc., are examples of quadrilaterals. The formula for the angle sum of a polygon = (n – 2) × 180°.

Important Questions Class 8 Mathematics Chapter 3 – With Solution

Mentioned below are some sets of questions and their answers from our Chapter 3 Class 8 Mathematics important questions.

Question 1: A quadrilateral has three acute angles, each measuring 80°. What is the measure of the fourth angle of the quadrilateral?

Answer 1: – Let x be the measure of the fourth angle of a quadrilateral.

 The sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral + 360°

80° + 80° + 80° + x = 360° …………(since the measure of all the three acute angles = 80°)

 240° + x = 360°

x = 360° – 240°

Hence, the fourth angle made by the quadrilateral is 120°.

Question 2: Find the measure of all the exterior angles of a regular polygon with 

                        (i) 9 sides and (ii) 15 sides.

Answer 2 : (i) Total measure of all exterior angles = 360° 

                    Each exterior angle =sum of exterior angle = 360° = 40°

                                                           number of sides 9                                              

                    Each exterior angle = 40°

                   (ii) Total measure of all exterior angles = 360° 

                      Each exterior angle = sum of exterior angle =360° = 24° 

                                                            number of sides 15

                      Each exterior angle = 24° 

triangle

Answer 3: a) The sum of all the angles of the triangle = 180°

                       One side of a triangle

                       = 180°- (90° + 30°) = 60°

                        In a linear pair, the sum of two adjacent angles altogether measures up to 180° 

                       x + 90° = 180° 

                       x = 180° – 90° 

                          = 90° 

                       Similarly,

                       y + 60° = 180°

                       y = 180° – 60°

                           = 120°

                       similarly,

                      z + 30° = 180° 

                     z = 180° – 30° 

                        = 150°

                     Hence,x + y + z 

                                = 90° + 120° + 150° 

                                = 360°

                  Thus, the sum of the angles x, y, and z is altogether 360°

  • b) Sum of all angles of quadrilateral = 360°

                 One side of quadrilateral = 360°- (60° + 80° + 120°) = 360° – 260° = 100°

                 x + 120° = 180°

                 x = 180° – 120°

                    = 60°

                y + 80° = 180° 

                y = 180° – 80° 

                  = 100°

                 z + 60° = 180°

                 z = 180° – 60° 

                   = 120°

                w + 100° = 180° 

                w = 180° – 100° = 80°

                x + y + z + w = 60° + 100° + 120° + 80° = 360°

Question 4: Adjacent sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 5: 12; if the perimeter of the given rectangle is 34 cm, find the length of the diagonal.

Answer 4: The ratio of the adjacent sides of the rectangle is 5: 12

                    Let 5x and 12x be adjacent sides.

                    The perimeter is the sum of all the given sides of a rectangle.

                     5x + 12x + 5x + 12x = 34 cm ……(since the opposite sides of the rectangle are the 

                                                                               same)

                     34x = 34

                      x = 34/34

                      x = 1 cm

                      Therefore, the adjacent sides of the rectangle are 5 cm and 12 cm, respectively.

                       That is,

                       Length =12 cm

                       Breadth = 5 cm

                       Length of the diagonal = √( l2 + b2)

                                                                 = √( 122 + 52)

                                                                 = √(144 + 25)

                                                                 = √169

                                                                 = 13 cm

                      Hence, the length of the diagonal of a rectangle is 13 cm.

Question 5: How many sides do regular polygons consist of if each interior angle is 165 ° ?

Answer 5: A regular polygon with an interior angle of 165°

                   We need to find the sides of the given regular polygon:-

                   The sum of all exterior angles of any given polygon is 360°.

                    Formula Used: Number of sides = 360∘ /Exterior angle

                            Exterior angle=180∘−Interior angle

                   Thus,

                   Each interior angle =165°

                   Hence, the measure of every exterior angle will be

                    =180°−165°

                    =15°

                   Therefore, the number of sides of the given polygon will be

                  =360°/15°

                   =24° 

Question 6: Find x in the following figure.

two interior angles

Answer 6: The two interior angles in the given figures are right angles = 90°

70° + m = 180°

 m = 180° – 70° 

(In a linear pair, the sum of two adjacent angles altogether measures up to 180°)

60° + n = 180° 

 n = 180° – 60° 

     = 120°

 The given figure has five sides, and it is a pentagon.

Thus, the sum of the angles of the pentagon = 540° 

 90° + 90° + 110° + 120° + y = 540°

410° + y = 540° 

y = 540° – 410° = 130°

x + y = 180°….. (Linear pair)

x + 130° = 180°

x = 180° – 130° 

Question 7: ABCD is a parallelogram with ∠A = 80°. The internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet each other at O. Find the measure of the three angles of ΔBCO.

Answer 7: The measure of angle A = 80°.

                    In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are the same.

                    Hence,

                    ∠A = ∠C = 80°

                    And

                    ∠OCB = (1/2) × ∠C

                    = (1/2) × 80°

                    = 40°

              ∠B = 180° – ∠A (the sum of interior angles situated on the same side of the transversal is supplementary)

                     = 180° – 80°

                     = 100°

                     Also,

              ∠CBO = (1/2) × ∠B

              ∠CBO= (1/2) × 100°

              ∠CBO= 50°. 

             By the property of the sum of the angle BCO, we get,

            ∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠CBO = 180°

            ∠BOC = 180° – (∠OBC + CBO)

                        = 180° – (40° + 50°)

                        = 180° – 90°

                        = 90°

      Hence, the measure of all the angles of triangle BCO is 40°, 50° and 90°.

Question 8: The measure of the two adjacent angles of the given parallelogram is the ratio of 3:2. Then, find the measure of each angle of the parallelogram.

Answer 8:  A parallelogram with adjacent angles in the ratio of 3:2

 To find:- The measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

                     Let the measure of angle A be 3x

                     Let the measure of angle B be 2x

Since the sum of the measures of adjacent angles is 180° for a parallelogram,

 3x+2x=180°

 ∠A=∠C =3x=108°

∠B=∠D =2x=72° (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal).

Hence, the angles of a parallelogram are 108°, 72°,108°and 72°

Question 9: Is it ever possible to have a regular polygon, each of whose interior angles is 100?

Answer 9: The sum of all the exterior angles of a regular polygon is 360°

As we also know, the sum of interior and exterior angles are 180°

Exterior angle + interior angle = 180-100=80°

When we divide the exterior angle, we will get the number of exterior angles

since it is a regular polygon means the number of exterior angles equals the number of sides.

Therefore n=360/ 80=4.5

And we know that 4.5 is not an integer, so having a regular polygon is impossible.

Whose exterior angle is 100°

Question 10: ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠A=110 ° . Find the measure of the angles B, C and D, respectively.

Answer 10: The measure of angle A=110°

the sum of all adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°

∠A + ∠B = 180

110°+ ∠B = 180°

∠B = 180°- 110°

      = 70°.

Also ∠B + ∠C = 180° [Since ∠B and ∠C are adjacent angles]

70°+ ∠C = 180°

∠C = 180°- 70°

        = 110°.

Now ∠C + ∠D = 180° [Since ∠C and ∠D are adjacent angles]

110o+ ∠D = 180°

∠D = 180°- 110°

        = 70°

Question11: A diagonal and a side of a rhombus are of equal length. Find the measure of the angles of the rhombus.

Answer 11: Let ABCD be the rhombus.

                   All the sides of a rhombus are the same.

                   Thus, AB = BC = CD = DA.

                  The side and diagonal of a rhombus are equal.

                  AB = BD 

                  Therefore, AB = BC = CD = DA = BD 

                  Consider triangle ABD,

                  Each side of a triangle ABD is congruent.

                  Hence, ΔABD is an equilateral triangle.

                  Similarly,

                  ΔBCD is also an equilateral triangle.

                  Thus, ∠BAD = ∠ABD = ∠ADB = ∠DBC = ∠BCD = ∠CDB = 60°

                  ∠ABC = ∠ABD + ∠DBC = 60° + 60° = 120°

                  And

                  ∠ADC = ∠ADB + ∠CDB = 60° + 60° = 120°

     Hence, all angles of the given rhombus are 60°, 120°, 60° and 120°, respectively.

Question 12: The two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are the same. Find the measure of each and every angle of the parallelogram.

Answer 12: A parallelogram with two equal adjacent angles.

To find:- the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

The sum of all the adjacent angles of a parallelogram is supplementary.

∠B = ∠A = 90°

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are the same.

Hence, each angle of the parallelogram measures 90°.

Question 13: The measures of the two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the given ratio 3: 2. Find the measure of every angle of the parallelogram.

Answer 13: Let the measures of two adjacent angles ∠A and ∠B be 3x and 2x, respectively, in parallelogram ABCD.

∠A + ∠B = 180°

⇒ 3x + 2x = 180°

⇒ 5x = 180°

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are the same.

∠A = ∠C = 3x = 3 × 36° = 108°

∠B = ∠D = 2x = 2 × 36° = 72°

Question 14: State whether true or false.

(a) All the rectangles are squares.

(b) All the rhombuses are parallelograms.

(c) All the squares are rhombuses and also rectangles.

(d) All the squares are not parallelograms.

(e) All the kites are rhombuses.

(f) All the rhombuses are kites.

(g) All the parallelograms are trapeziums.

(h) All the squares are trapeziums.

Answer 14: (a) This statement is false.

Since all squares are rectangles, all rectangles are not squares.

                     (b) This statement is true.

                     (c) This statement is true.

                     (d) This statement is false.

                     Since all squares are parallelograms, the opposite sides are parallel, and opposite angles are 

                     congruent.

                    (e) This statement is false.

                     Since, for example, the length of the sides of a kite is not the same length.

                     (f) This statement is true.

                     (g) This statement is true.

                     (h) This statement is true.

Question 15: Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are equal. What is the measure of each of these angles?

Answer 15: Let ∠A and ∠B be two adjacent angles.

But we know that the sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180o

But given that ∠A = ∠B

Now substituting, we get

∠A + ∠A = 180°

∠A=180/2 = 90°

Question 16:Triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle, and O is the midpoint of the side opposite to the right angle. State why O is equidistant from A, B and C. (The dotted lines are drawn additionally to help you).

Triangle ABC

Answer 16: AD and DC are drawn in such a way that AD is parallel to BC 

and AB is parallel to DC

AD = BC and AB = DC

ABCD is a rectangle since the opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other, and the measure of all the interior angles is altogether 90°.

In a rectangle, all the diagonals bisect each other and are of equal length. 

Therefore, AO = OC = BO = OD

Hence, O is equidistant from A, B and C.

Question 17: Is the quadrilateral ABCD a parallelogram if

 (i) the measure of angle D + the measure of angle B = 180°?

 (ii) AB = DC = 8 cm , the length of AD = 4 cm and the length of BC = 4.4 cm?

(iii)The measure of angle A = 70° and the measure of angle C = 65°?

Answer 17: (i) Yes, the quadrilateral ABCD can be a parallelogram if ∠D + ∠B = 180° but it should also fulfil certain conditions, which are as follows:

(a) The sum of all the adjacent angles should be 180°.

(b) Opposite angles of a parallelogram must be equal.

(ii) No, opposite sides should be of the same length. Here, AD ≠ BC

(iii) No, opposite angles should be of the same measures. ∠A ≠ ∠C

Question 18: Find the measure of angles P and S if SP and RQ are parallel. 

Answer 18: ∠P + ∠Q = 180° (angles on the same side of transversal)

 ∠P + 130° = 180°

 ∠P = 180° – 130° = 50°

also, ∠R + ∠S = 180° (angles on the same side of transversal)

⇒ 90° + ∠S = 180°

⇒ ∠S = 180° – 90° = 90°

Thus, ∠P = 50° and ∠S = 90°

Yes, there is more than one method to find m∠P.

PQRS is a quadrilateral. The sum of measures of all angles is 360°.

Since we know the measurement of ∠Q, ∠R and ∠S.

∠Q = 130°, ∠R = 90° and ∠S = 90°

∠P + 130° + 90° + 90° = 360°

⇒ ∠P + 310° = 360°

⇒ ∠P = 360° – 310° = 50°

Question 19: The opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3x + 5)° and (61 – x)°. Find the measure of four angles.

Answer 19: (3x + 5)° and (61 – x)° are the opposite angles of a parallelogram.

The opposite angles of a parallelogram are the same. 

Therefore, (3x + 5)° = (61 – x)°

                    3x + x = 61° – 5°

                    4x = 56°

                    x = 56°/4

                    x = 14°

The first angle of the parallelogram =3x + 5

                                                               = 3(14) + 5 

                                                               = 42 + 5 = 47°

The second angle of the parallelogram=61 – x 

                                                                     = 61 – 14 = 47°

The measure of angles adjacent to the given angles = 180° – 47° = 133°

Hence, the measure of the four angles of the parallelogram is 47°, 133°, 47°, and 133°.

Question 20: What is the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon?

Answer 20:   To find:- The maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon.

A polygon with minimum sides is an equilateral triangle.

So, the number of sides =3

The sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360°

Exterior angle =360°/Number of sides 

Therefore, the maximum exterior angle possible will be

Q1: What is the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon? Sol:   To find:-  The maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon. A polygon with minimum sides is an equilateral triangle. So, the number of sides = 3 The sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360° Exterior angle = 360°/Number of sides  Therefore, the maximum exterior angle possible will be = 360°/3 = 120°

Q2: Find the measure of angles P and S if SP and RQ are parallel.  Sol:   ∠P + ∠Q = 180° (angles on the same side of transversal) ∠P + 130° = 180° ∠P = 180° – 130° = 50° also, ∠R + ∠S = 180° (angles on the same side of transversal) ⇒ 90° + ∠S = 180° ⇒ ∠S = 180° – 90° = 90° Thus, ∠P = 50° and ∠S = 90° Yes, there is more than one method to find m∠P. PQRS is a quadrilateral. The sum of measures of all angles is 360°. Since we know the measurement of ∠Q, ∠R and ∠S. ∠Q = 130°, ∠R = 90° and ∠S = 90° ∠P + 130° + 90° + 90° = 360° ⇒ ∠P + 310° = 360° ⇒ ∠P = 360° – 310°  = 50°

Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Important Question Answers - Understanding Quadrilaterals

Sol:  AD and DC are drawn in such a way that AD is parallel to BC   and AB is parallel to DC AD = BC and AB = DC ABCD is a rectangle since the opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other, and the measure of all the interior angles is altogether 90°. In a rectangle, all the diagonals bisect each other and are of equal length.  Therefore, AO = OC = BO = OD Hence, O is equidistant from A, B and C. Q4: State whether true or false. (a) All the rectangles are squares. (b) All the rhombuses are parallelograms. (c) All the squares are rhombuses and also rectangles. (d) All the squares are not parallelograms. (e) All the kites are rhombuses. (f) All the rhombuses are kites. (g) All the parallelograms are trapeziums. (h) All the squares are trapeziums. Sol: (a)  This statement is false. A rectangle has opposite sides equal and all angles equal to 90 degrees, but for it to be a square, all four sides must be equal. Therefore, not all rectangles are squares.

(b) This statement is true.

A rhombus is a type of parallelogram where all four sides are of equal length. Since it has both pairs of opposite sides parallel, it is always a parallelogram. 

(c)  This statement is true.

A square has all properties of a rhombus (all sides equal) and a rectangle (all angles 90 degrees). Therefore, all squares are both rhombuses and rectangles.

(d)  This statement is false.

A square is a specific type of parallelogram where all sides are equal and all angles are right angles. Therefore, all squares are parallelograms.

(e)  This statement is false.

A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal, but not all four sides need to be equal. For it to be a rhombus, all four sides must be equal. Therefore, not all kites are rhombuses.

(f) This statement is true.

A rhombus has all four sides equal, which satisfies the condition of a kite having two pairs of adjacent sides equal. Therefore, all rhombuses are kites. 

(g)  This statement is false.

A parallelogram has both pairs of opposite sides parallel, and a trapezium is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. Since parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides, they do not meet this criterion and are not considered trapeziums. 

(h)  This statement is true.

A square has both pairs of opposite sides parallel, which means it satisfies the condition of a trapezium having at least one pair of parallel sides. Therefore, all squares are trapeziums. 

Q5: The two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are the same. Find the measure of each and every angle of the parallelogram. Sol:  A parallelogram with two equal adjacent angles. To find:-  the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram. The sum of all the adjacent angles of a parallelogram is supplementary. ∠A + ∠B = 180° 2∠A = 180° ∠A = 90° ∠B = ∠A = 90° In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are the same. Therefore, ∠C = ∠A = 90° ∠D = ∠B = 90° Hence, each angle of the parallelogram measures 90°. Q6: ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠A = 110 ° . Find the measure of the angles B, C and D, respectively. Sol:  The measure of angle A = 110° the sum of all adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180° ∠A + ∠B = 180 110°+ ∠B = 180° ∠B = 180°- 110° = 70°. Also ∠B + ∠C = 180° [Since ∠B and ∠C are adjacent angles] 70° + ∠C = 180° ∠C = 180°- 70° = 110°. Now ∠C + ∠D = 180° [Since ∠C and ∠D are adjacent angles] 110° + ∠D = 180° ∠D = 180°- 110° = 70° Q7: The measure of the two adjacent angles of the given parallelogram is the ratio of 3:2. Then, find the measure of each angle of the parallelogram. Sol:   A parallelogram with adjacent angles in the ratio of 3:2  To find:-  The measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram. Let the measure of angle A be 3x Let the measure of angle B be 2x Since the sum of the measures of adjacent angles is 180° for a parallelogram, ∠A+∠B=180° 3x+2x=180° 5x=180° x=36° ∠A=∠C =3x=108° ∠B=∠D =2x=72° (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal). Hence, the angles of a parallelogram are 108°, 72°,108°and 72°

Q7: Find x in the following figure. Sol:  The two interior angles in the given figures are right angles = 90° 70° + m = 180° m = 180° – 70°  = 110° (In a linear pair, the sum of two adjacent angles altogether measures up to 180°) 60° + n = 180°  n = 180° – 60°  = 120° (In a linear pair, the sum of two adjacent angles altogether measures up to 180° The given figure has five sides, and it is a pentagon. Thus, the sum of the angles of the pentagon = 540°  90° + 90° + 110° + 120° + y = 540° 410° + y = 540° y = 540° – 410° = 130° x + y = 180°….. (Linear pair) x + 130° = 180° x = 180° – 130°  = 50°

Q8: Adjacent sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 5: 12; if the perimeter of the given rectangle is 34 cm, find the length of the diagonal. Sol:  The ratio of the adjacent sides of the rectangle is 5: 12 Let 5x and 12x be adjacent sides. The perimeter is the sum of all the given sides of a rectangle. 5x + 12x + 5x + 12x = 34 cm ……(since the opposite sides of the rectangle are the  same) 34x = 34 x = 34/34 x = 1 cm Therefore, the adjacent sides of the rectangle are 5 cm and 12 cm, respectively. That is, Length =12 cm Breadth = 5 cm Length of the diagonal = √( l2 + b2) = √( 122 + 52) = √(144 + 25) = √169 = 13 cm Hence, the length of the diagonal of a rectangle is 13 cm.

Q9: Find the measure of all the exterior angles of a regular polygon with  (i) 9 sides and  (ii) 15 sides. Sol:  (i)  Total measure of all exterior angles = 360°  Each exterior angle =sum of exterior angle = 360° = 40° number of sides 9                                               Each exterior angle = 40° (ii)  Total measure of all exterior angles = 360°  Each exterior angle = sum of exterior angle =360° = 24°  number of sides 15 Each exterior angle = 24° 

Q10: A quadrilateral has three acute angles, each measuring 80°. What is the measure of the fourth angle of the quadrilateral? Sol: – Let x be the measure of the fourth angle of a quadrilateral. The sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral + 360° 80° + 80° + 80° + x = 360° …………(since the measure of all the three acute angles = 80°)  240° + x = 360° x = 360° – 240° x = 120° Hence, the fourth angle made by the quadrilateral is 120°. Q11: How many sides do regular polygons consist of if each interior angle is 165 ° ? Sol:  A regular polygon with an interior angle of 165° We need to find the sides of the given regular polygon:- The sum of all exterior angles of any given polygon is 360°. Formula Used: Number of sides = 360 ∘ /Exterior angle Exterior angle = 180 ∘ −Interior angle Thus, Each interior angle = 165° Hence, the measure of every exterior angle will be = 180° − 165° = 15° Therefore, the number of sides of the given polygon will be = 360°/15° = 24°  Q12: ABCD is a parallelogram with ∠A = 80°. The internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet each other at O. Find the measure of the three angles of ΔBCO. Sol:  The measure of angle A = 80°. In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are the same. Hence, ∠A = ∠C = 80° And ∠OCB = (1/2) × ∠C = (1/2) × 80° = 40° ∠B = 180° – ∠A (the sum of interior angles situated on the same side of the transversal is supplementary) = 180° – 80° = 100° Also, ∠CBO = (1/2) × ∠B ∠CBO= (1/2) × 100° ∠CBO= 50°.  By the property of the sum of the angle BCO, we get, ∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠CBO = 180° ∠BOC = 180° – (∠OBC + CBO) = 180° – (40° + 50°) = 180° – 90° = 90° Hence, the measure of all the angles of triangle BCO is 40°, 50° and 90°. Q13: Is it ever possible to have a regular polygon, each of whose interior angles is 100? Sol:  The sum of all the exterior angles of a regular polygon is 360° As we also know, the sum of interior and exterior angles are 180° Exterior angle + interior angle = 180 - 100 = 80° When we divide the exterior angle, we will get the number of exterior angles  since it is a regular polygon means the number of exterior angles equals the number of sides. Therefore n = 360/ 80 = 4.5 And we know that 4.5 is not an integer, so having a regular polygon is impossible. Whose exterior angle is 100° Q14: A diagonal and a side of a rhombus are of equal length. Find the measure of the angles of the rhombus. Sol:  Let ABCD be the rhombus. All the sides of a rhombus are the same. Thus, AB = BC = CD = DA. The side and diagonal of a rhombus are equal. AB = BD  Therefore, AB = BC = CD = DA = BD  Consider triangle ABD, Each side of a triangle ABD is congruent. Hence, ΔABD is an equilateral triangle. Similarly, ΔBCD is also an equilateral triangle. Thus, ∠BAD = ∠ABD = ∠ADB = ∠DBC = ∠BCD = ∠CDB = 60° ∠ABC = ∠ABD + ∠DBC = 60° + 60° = 120° And ∠ADC = ∠ADB + ∠CDB = 60° + 60° = 120° Hence, all angles of the given rhombus are 60°, 120°, 60° and 120°, respectively. Q15: The measures of the two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the given ratio 3: 2. Find the measure of every angle of the parallelogram. Sol:  Let the measures of two adjacent angles ∠A and ∠B be 3x and 2x, respectively, in parallelogram ABCD. ∠A + ∠B = 180° ⇒ 3x + 2x = 180° ⇒ 5x = 180° ⇒ x = 36° The opposite sides of a parallelogram are the same. ∠A = ∠C = 3x = 3 × 36° = 108° ∠B = ∠D = 2x = 2 × 36° = 72°

Exercise 3.1.

1. Given here are some figures.

Some figures

Classify each of them on the basis of following.

Simple Curve

Ans: Given: the figures $(1)$to $(8)$

We need to classify the given figures as simple curves.

We know that a curve that does not cross itself is referred to as a simple curve.

Therefore, simple curves are $1,2,5,6,7$.

Simple Closed Curve

We need to classify the given figures as simple closed curves.

We know that a simple closed curve is one that begins and ends at the same point without crossing itself.

Therefore, simple closed curves are $1,2,5,6,7$.

We need to classify the given figures as polygon.

We know that any closed curve consisting of a set of sides joined in such a way that no two segments

cross is known as a polygon.

Therefore, the polygons are $1,2$.

Convex Polygon

We need to classify the given figures as convex polygon.

We know that a closed shape with no vertices pointing inward is called a convex polygon.

Therefore, the convex polygon is $2$.

Concave Polygon

We need to classify the given figures as concave polygon.

We know that a polygon with at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees is called a concave

Therefore, the concave polygon is $1$.

2. What is a regular polygon?

State the name of a regular polygon of

(i) 3 sides (ii) 4 sides (iii) 6 sides

Solution: A regular polygon is a flat shape with all sides of equal length and all interior 5angles equal in measure.  In simpler terms, all the sides are the same size and all the corners look the same.

Here are the names of regular polygons based on the number of sides:

(i) 3 sides -  Equilateral Triangle (all three angles are also 60 degrees each)

(ii) 4 sides - Square

(iii) 6 sides - Hexagon

Exercise-3.2

1. Find ${\text{x}}$in the following figures.

${\text{x + y + z + w}}$

We need to find the value of ${\text{x}}{\text{.}}$

We know that the sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is ${360^ \circ }.$

$  {\text{x}} + {125^ \circ } + {125^ \circ } = {360^ \circ } $

$   \Rightarrow {\text{x}} + {250^ \circ } = {360^ \circ } $

$   \Rightarrow {\text{x}} = {360^ \circ } - {250^ \circ } $

$   \Rightarrow {\text{x}} = {110^ \circ } $ 

A polygon

$  {\text{x}} + {90^ \circ } + {60^ \circ } + {90^ \circ } + {70^ \circ } = {360^ \circ } $

$  \Rightarrow {\text{x}} + {310^ \circ } = {360^ \circ } $

$   \Rightarrow {\text{x}} = {360^ \circ } - {310^ \circ } $

 $  \Rightarrow {\text{x}} = {50^ \circ } $ 

2. Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 

Given: a regular polygon with $9$ sides

We need to find the measure of each exterior angle of the given polygon.

We know that all the exterior angles of a regular polygon are equal.

The sum of all exterior angle of a polygon is ${360^ \circ }$.

Formula Used: ${\text{Exterior}}\;{\text{angle}} = \dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{{{\text{Number}}\;{\text{of}}\;{\text{sides}}}}$

Sum of all angles of given regular polygon $ = {360^ \circ }$

Number of sides $ = 9$

Therefore, measure of each exterior angle will be

$   = \dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{9} $

 $  = {40^ \circ } $ 

Given: a regular polygon with $15$ sides

Number of sides $ = 15$

$   = \dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{{15}} $

$ = {24^ \circ } $ 

3. How many sides does a regular polygon have if the measure of an exterior angle is ${24^ \circ }$?

Ans: Given: A regular polygon with each exterior angle ${24^ \circ }$

We need to find the number of sides of given polygon.

We know that sum of all exterior angle of a polygon is ${360^ \circ }$.

Formula Used: ${\text{Number}}\;{\text{of}}\;{\text{sides}} = \dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{{{\text{Exterior}}\;{\text{angle}}}}$

Each angle measure $ = {24^ \circ }$

Therefore, number of sides of given polygon will be

$   = \dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{{{{24}^ \circ }}} $

 $  = 15 $ 

4. How many sides does a regular polygon have if each of its interior angles is ${165^ \circ }$?

Ans: Given: A regular polygon with each interior angle ${165^ \circ }$

We need to find the sides of the given regular polygon.

${\text{Exterior}}\;{\text{angle}} = {180^ \circ } - {\text{Interior}}\;{\text{angle}}$

Each interior angle $ = {165^ \circ }$

So, measure of each exterior angle will be

$   = {180^ \circ } - {165^ \circ } $

$   = {15^ \circ } $ 

Therefore, number of sides of polygon will be

$   = \dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{{{{15}^ \circ }}} $

$   = 24 $ 

Is it possible to have a regular polygon with measure of each exterior angle as ${22^ \circ }$?

Given: A regular polygon with each exterior angle ${22^ \circ }$

We need to find if it is possible to have a regular polygon with given angle measure.

We know that sum of all exterior angle of a polygon is ${360^ \circ }$. The polygon will be possible if ${360^ \circ }$ is a perfect multiple of exterior angle.

$\dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{{{{22}^ \circ }}}$ does not give a perfect quotient. 

Thus, ${360^ \circ }$ is not a perfect multiple of exterior angle. So, the polygon will not be possible.

Can it be an interior angle of a regular polygon? Why?

Ans: Given: Interior angle of a regular polygon $ = {22^ \circ }$

We need to state if it can be the interior angle of a regular polygon.

And, ${\text{Exterior}}\;{\text{angle}} = {180^ \circ } - {\text{Interior}}\;{\text{angle}}$

Thus, Exterior angle will be

$   = {180^ \circ } - {22^ \circ } $

 $  = {158^ \circ } $ 

$\dfrac{{{{158}^ \circ }}}{{{{22}^ \circ }}}$ does not give a perfect quotient. 

Thus, ${158^ \circ }$ is not a perfect multiple of exterior angle. So, the polygon will not be possible.

What is the minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon?

Ans:   Given: A regular polygon

We need to find the minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon.

A polygon with minimum number of sides is an equilateral triangle.

So, number of sides $ = 3$

${\text{Exterior}}\;{\text{angle}} = \dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{{{\text{Number}}\;{\text{of}}\;{\text{sides}}}}$

Thus, Maximum Exterior angle will be

$   = \dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{3} $

$   = {120^ \circ } $ 

We know, ${\text{Interior}}\;{\text{angle}} = {180^ \circ } - {\text{Exterior}}\;{\text{angle}}$

Therefore, minimum interior angle will be

$   = {180^ \circ } - {120^ \circ } $

$   = {60^ \circ } $ 

What is the maximum exterior angel possible for a regular polygon?

Ans: Given: A regular polygon

We need to find the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon.

Therefore, Maximum Exterior angle possible will be

$ = {120^ \circ } $

 Exercise 3.3

1. Given a parallelogram ABCD. Complete each statement along with the definition or property used.

A parallelogram ABCD

$\;{\text{AD}}$ = $...$

Given: A parallelogram ${\text{ABCD}}$ 

We need to complete each statement along with the definition or property used.

We know that opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

Hence, ${\text{AD}}$ = ${\text{BC}}$ 

$\;\angle {\text{DCB }} = $ $...$

Given: A parallelogram ${\text{ABCD}}$.

${\text{ABCD}}$ is a parallelogram, and we know that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Hence, $\angle {\text{DCB   =  }}\angle {\text{DAB}}$

${\text{OC}} = ...$ 

${\text{ABCD}}$ is a parallelogram, and we know that diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.

Hence, ${\text{OC  =  OA}}$

$m\angle DAB\; + \;m\angle CDA\; = \;...$

Given : A parallelogram ${\text{ABCD}}$.

${\text{ABCD}}$ is a parallelogram, and we know that adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary to each other.

Hence, $m\angle DAB\; + \;m\angle CDA\; = \;180^\circ $

 2. Consider the following parallelograms. Find the values of the unknowns x, y, z.

Parallelograms

Given: A parallelogram ${\text{ABCD}}$

We need to find the unknowns ${\text{x,y,z}}$

The adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Therefore, ${\text{x} + 100^\circ  = 180^\circ }$

${\text{x} = 80^\circ }$ 

Also, the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Hence, ${\text{z}} = {\text{x}} = 80^\circ $ and ${\text{y}} = 100^\circ $

Given: A parallelogram.

We need to find the values of ${\text{x,y,z}}$

The adjacent pairs of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Hence, $50^\circ  + {\text{y}} = 180^\circ $

${\text{y}} = 130^\circ $

Also, ${\text{x}} = {\text{y}} = 130^\circ $(opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)

And, ${\text{z}} = {\text{x}} = 130^\circ $ (corresponding angles)

(iii)  

Given: A parallelogram 

${\text{x}} = 90^\circ $(Vertically opposite angles)

Also, by angle sum property of triangles

${\text{x}} + {\text{y}} + 30^\circ  = 180^\circ $

${\text{y}} = 60^\circ $

Also,${\text{z}} = {\text{y}} = 60^\circ $(alternate interior angles)

Given: A parallelogram

Corresponding angles between two parallel lines are equal.

Hence, ${\text{z}} = 80^\circ $ Also,${\text{y}} = 80^\circ $ (opposite angles of parallelogram are equal)

In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary

Hence,${\text{x}} + {\text{y}} = 180^\circ $

$  {\text{x}} = 180^\circ  - 80^\circ  $

$  {\text{x}} = 100^\circ  $ 

As the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal, therefore,${\text{y}} = 112^\circ $ 

Also, by using angle sum property of triangles

$  {\text{x}} + {\text{y}} + 40^\circ  = 180^\circ  $

$  {\text{x}} + 152^\circ  = 180^\circ  $

$  {\text{x}} = 28^\circ  $ 

And ${\text{z}} = {\text{x}} = 28^\circ $(alternate interior angles)

3. Can a quadrilateral ${\text{ABCD}}$be a parallelogram if 

(i) $\angle {\text{D}}\;{\text{ + }}\angle {\text{B}} = 180^\circ ?$

Given: A quadrilateral ${\text{ABCD}}$

We need to find whether the given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

For the given condition, quadrilateral ${\text{ABCD}}$ may or may not be a parallelogram.

For a quadrilateral to be parallelogram, the sum of measures of adjacent angles should be $180^\circ $ and the opposite angles should be of same measures.

(ii) ${\text{AB}} = {\text{DC}} = 8\;{\text{cm}},\;{\text{AD}} = 4\;{\text{cm}}\;$and ${\text{BC}} = 4.4\;{\text{cm}}$

As, the opposite sides ${\text{AD}}$and ${\text{BC}}$are of different lengths, hence the given quadrilateral is not a parallelogram.

(iii) $\angle {\text{A}} = 70^\circ $and $\angle {\text{C}} = 65^\circ $

As, the opposite angles have different measures, hence, the given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

4. Draw a rough figure of a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram but has exactly two opposite angles of equal measure.

Given: A quadrilateral.

We need to draw a rough figure of a quadrilateral that is not a paralleloghram but has exactly two opposite angles of equal measure.

A kite is a figure which has two of its interior angles, $\angle {\text{B}}$and $\angle {\text{D}}$of same measures. But the quadrilateral ${\text{ABCD}}$is not a parallelogram as the measures of the remaining pair of opposite angles are not equal.

A quadrilateral

5. The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3:2. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

Ans: Given: A parallelogram with adjacent angles in the ratio $3:2$

We need to find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

Let the angles be $\angle {\text{A}} = 3{\text{x}}$and $\angle {\text{B}} = 2{\text{x}}$

As the sum of measures of adjacent angles is $180^\circ $ for a parallelogram.

$  \angle {\text{A}} + \angle {\text{B}} = 180^\circ  $

 $ 3{\text{x}} + 2{\text{x}} = 180^\circ  $

 $ 5{\text{x}} = 180^\circ  $

 $ {\text{x}} = 36^\circ  $ 

$~\angle A=$ $\angle {\text{C}}$ $= 3{\text{x}} = 108^\circ$and $~\angle B=$ $\angle {\text{D}}$ $= 2{\text{x}} = 72^\circ$(Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal).

Hence, the angles of a parallelogram are $108^\circ ,72^\circ ,108^\circ $and $72^\circ $.

6. Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram have equal measure. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

Given: A parallelogram with two equal adjacent angles.

The sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

$  \angle {\text{A}} + \;\angle {\text{B}} = 180^\circ  $

$  2\angle {\text{A}}\;{\text{ =  180}}^\circ  $

$  \angle {\text{A}}\;{\text{ = }}\;{\text{90}}^\circ  $

$  \angle {\text{B}}\;{\text{ = }}\angle {\text{A}}\;{\text{ = }}\;{\text{90}}^\circ  $

Also, opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

$  \angle {\text{C}} = \angle {\text{A}} = 90^\circ  $

$  \angle {\text{D}} = \angle {\text{B}} = 90^\circ  $ 

Hence, each angle of the parallelogram measures $90^\circ $.

7. The adjacent figure ${\text{HOPE}}$is a parallelogram. Find the angle measures x, y and z. State the properties you use to find them.

Given: A parallelogram ${\text{HOPE}}$.

We need to find the measures of angles ${\text{x,y,z}}$and also state the properties used to find these angles.

$\angle {\text{y}} = 40^\circ $(Alternate interior angles)

And $\angle {\text{z}} + 40^\circ  = 70^\circ $(corresponding angles are equal)

$\angle {\text{z}} = 30^\circ $

Also, ${\text{x}} + {\text{z}} + 40^\circ  = 180^\circ $(adjacent pair of angles)

${\text{x}} = 110^\circ $

8. The following figures ${\text{GUNS}}$and ${\text{RUNS}}$are parallelograms. Find ${\text{x}}$and${\text{y}}$. (Lengths are in cm).

Parallelograms

Given: Parallelogram ${\text{GUNS}}$.

We need to find the measures of ${\text{x}}$and ${\text{y}}$.

${\text{GU = SN}}$(Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal).

$  3{\text{y }} - {\text{ }}1{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}26{\text{ }} $

$  3{\text{y }} = {\text{ }}27{\text{ }} $

$  {\text{y }} = {\text{ }}9{\text{ }} $ 

Also,${\text{SG = NU}}$

Therefore, 

$  3{\text{x}} = 18 $

$  {\text{x}} = 3 $ 

Parallelogram ${\text{RUNS}}$

Given: Parallelogram ${\text{RUNS}}$

We need to find the value of ${\text{x}}$and ${\text{y}}{\text{.}}$

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore, 

$  {\text{y }} + {\text{ }}7{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}20{\text{ }} $

$  {\text{y }} = {\text{ }}13 $

 $ {\text{x }} + {\text{ y }} = {\text{ }}16 $

$  {\text{x }} + {\text{ }}13{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}16 $

 $ {\text{x }} = {\text{ }}3{\text{ }} $ 

9. In the above figure both ${\text{RISK}}$and ${\text{CLUE}}$are parallelograms. Find the value of ${\text{x}}{\text{.}}$

Parallelograms

Given: Parallelograms ${\text{RISK}}$and ${\text{CLUE}}$

As we know that the adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, therefore, 

In parallelogram ${\text{RISK}}$

$  \angle {\text{RKS  + }}\angle {\text{ISK}} = 180^\circ  $

 $ 120^\circ  + \angle {\text{ISK}} = 180^\circ  $ 

As the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal, therefore,

In parallelogram ${\text{CLUE}}$,

$\angle {\text{ULC}} = \angle {\text{CEU}} = 70^\circ $

Also, the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is $180^\circ $

$  {\text{x }} + {\text{ }}60^\circ {\text{ }} + {\text{ }}70^\circ {\text{ }} = {\text{ }}180^\circ  $

$  {\text{x }} = {\text{ }}50^\circ  $ 

10. Explain how this figure is a trapezium. Which of its two sides are parallel?

A trapezium

We need to explain how the given figure is a trapezium and find its two sides that are parallel.

If a transversal line intersects two specified lines in such a way that the sum of the angles on the same side of the transversal equals $180^\circ $, the two lines will be parallel to each other.

Here, $\angle {\text{NML}} = \angle {\text{MLK}} = 180^\circ $

Hence, ${\text{NM}}||{\text{LK}}$

Hence, the given figure is a trapezium.

11. Find ${\text{m}}\angle {\text{C}}$in the following figure if ${\text{AB}}\parallel {\text{CD}}$${\text{AB}}\parallel {\text{CD}}$.

$\angle {\text{C}}$

Given: ${\text{AB}}\parallel {\text{CD}}$ and quadrilateral

$\angle {\text{C}}$

We need to find the measure of $\angle {\text{C}}$

$\angle {\text{B}} + \angle {\text{C}} = 180^\circ $(Angles on the same side of transversal).

$  120^\circ  + \angle {\text{C}} = 180^\circ  $

$  \angle {\text{C}} = 60^\circ  $ 

12. Find the measure of $\angle {\text{P}}$and$\angle {\text{S}}$, if ${\text{SP}}\parallel {\text{RQ}}$in the following figure. (If you find${\text{m}}\angle {\text{R}}$, is there more than one method to find${\text{m}}\angle {\text{P}}$?)

$\angle {\text{P}}$and $\angle {\text{S}}$

Given: ${\text{SP}}\parallel {\text{RQ}}$and 

$\angle {\text{P}}$and $\angle {\text{S}}$

We need to find the measure of $\angle {\text{P}}$and $\angle {\text{S}}$.

The sum of angles on the same side of transversal is $180^\circ .$

$\angle {\text{P}} + \angle {\text{Q}} = 180^\circ $

$  \angle {\text{P}} + 130^\circ  = 180^\circ  $

$  \angle {\text{P}} = 50^\circ  

 $\angle {\text{R }} + {\text{ }}\angle {\text{S }} = {\text{ }}180^\circ {\text{ }} $

$  {\text{ }}90^\circ {\text{ }} + {\text{ }}\angle {\text{S }} = {\text{ }}180^\circ  $

  ${\text{ }}\angle {\text{S }} = {\text{ }}90^\circ {\text{ }} $ 

Yes, we can find the measure of ${\text{m}}\angle {\text{P}}$ by using one more method.

In the question,${\text{m}}\angle {\text{R}}$and ${\text{m}}\angle {\text{Q}}$are given. After finding ${\text{m}}\angle {\text{S}}$ we can find ${\text{m}}\angle {\text{P}}$ by using angle sum property.

Exercise 3.4

1. State whether True or False.

(a) All rectangles are squares.

(b) All rhombuses are parallelograms.

(c) All squares are rhombuses and also rectangles.

(d) All squares are not parallelograms.

(e) All kites are rhombuses.

(f) All rhombuses are kites.

(g) All parallelograms are trapeziums.

(h) All squares are trapeziums.

Every square is indeed a type of rectangle, not every rectangle can be called a square.

It's correct to say that all squares can be classified as parallelograms due to their shared characteristic of having opposite sides that are parallel and opposite angles that are equal.

Because, a kite shape is that its adjacent sides are not necessarily equal in length, unlike those of a square.

2. Identify all the quadrilaterals that have.

(a) four sides of equal length

(b) four right angles

(a) Rhombus and square have all four sides of equal length.

(b) Square and rectangles have four right angles. 

3. Explain how a square is

(i) a quadrilateral

(ii) a parallelogram

(iii) a rhombus

(iv) a rectangle

(i) Square is a quadrilateral because it has four sides.

(ii) A square is a parallelogram because its opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal.

(iii) Square is a rhombus because all four sides are of equal length and diagonals bisect at right angles.

(iv)Square is a rectangle because each interior angle, of the square, is 90° 

4. Name the quadrilaterals whose diagonals.

(i) bisect each other 

(ii) are perpendicular bisectors of each other 

(iii) are equal

(i) Parallelogram, Rhombus, Square and Rectangle

(ii) Rhombus and Square

(iii)Rectangle and Square 

5. Explain why a rectangle is a convex quadrilateral.

A rectangle is a convex quadrilateral because both of its diagonals lie inside the rectangle.

6. ABC is a right-angled triangle and O is the mid-point of the side opposite to the right angle. Explain why O is equidistant from A, B and C. (The dotted lines are drawn additionally to help you).

ABC is a right-angled triangle and O is the mid-point of the side opposite to the right angle

AD and DC are drawn so that AD || BC and AB || DC

AD = BC and AB = DC

ABCD is a rectangle as opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other and all the interior angles are of 90°.

In a rectangle, diagonals are of equal length and also bisect each other.

Hence, AO = OC = BO = OD

Thus, O is equidistant from A, B and C.

FAQs on NCERT Solutions Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Understanding Quadrilaterals

1. What is the Area of a Field in the Shape of a Rectangle with Dimensions of 20 Meters and 40 Meters?

We know that the field is rectangular. Hence, we can apply the area of a rectangle to find the field area.

Length of the field = 40 Metre

Width of the field = 20 Metre

Area of the rectangular field = Length × Width = 40 × 20 = 800 Sq. Meters.

We know if the length of the rectangle is L and breadth is B then,

Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth or L × B

Perimeter = 2 × (L + B)

So, the properties and formulas of quadrilaterals that are used in this question:

Area of the Rectangle = Length × Width

So, we used only a specific property to find the answer.

2. Find the Rest of the Angles of a Parallelogram if one Angle is 80°?

For a parallelogram ABCD, as we know the properties:

Opposite angles are equal.

Opposite sides are equal and parallel.

Diagonals bisect each other.

The summation of any two adjacent angles = 180 degrees.

So, the angles opposite to the provided 80° angle will likewise be 80°.

Like we know, know that the Sum of angles of any quadrilateral = 360°.

So, if ∠A = ∠C = 80° then,

Sum of ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, ∠D = 360°

Also, ∠B = ∠D

Sum of 80°, ∠B, 80°, ∠D = 360°

Or, ∠B +∠ D = 200°

Hence, ∠B = ∠D = 100°

Now, we found all the angles of the quadrilateral, which are:

Very Short Answer Type

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q1

3x + 5 = 5x – 1

⇒ 3x – 5x = -1 – 5

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q2

x + y + z = 360°

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q3

(x + 10)° + (3x + 5)° + (2x + 15)° = 180°

⇒ x + 10 + 3x + 5 + 2x + 15 = 180

⇒ 6x + 30 = 180

⇒ 6x = 180 – 30

Question 4. The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5 : 8. Find the measure of each angle.

Solution: The sum of a quadrilateral’s internal angles equals 360°.

Let the quadrilateral’s angles be 2x°, 3x°, 5x°, and 8x°.

2x + 3x + 5x + 8x = 360°

⇒ 18x = 360°

Hence the angles are

2 × 20 = 40°,

3 × 20 = 60°,

5 × 20 = 100°

and 8 × 20 = 160°.

Question 5. Find the measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon of 9 sides.

Solution: Measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon

Question 6. Length and breadth of a rectangular wire are 9 cm and 7 cm respectively. If the wire is bent into a square, find the length of its side.

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q6

Side of the square = \(\frac { 32 }{ 4 }\) = 8 cm.

Hence, the length of the side of square = 8 cm.

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q7

Then m∠S = 110° (Opposite angles are equal)

Since ∠P and ∠Q are supplementary.

Then m∠P + m∠Q = 180°

⇒ m∠P + 110° = 180°

⇒ m∠P = 180° – 110° = 70°

⇒ m∠P = m∠R = 70° (Opposite angles)

Hence m∠P = 70, m∠R = 70°

and m∠S = 110°

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q9

Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other

z = 5 and y = 12

Hence, x = 13 cm, y = 12 cm and z = 5 cm.

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q10

⇒ 125° + ∠D = 180°

⇒ ∠D = 180° – 125°

⇒ 125° = y + 56°

⇒ y = 125° – 56°

∠z + ∠y = 180° (Adjacent angles)

⇒ ∠z + 69° = 180°

⇒ ∠z = 180° – 69° = 111°

Hence the angles x = 55°, y = 69° and z = 111°

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q11

Now, sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360°, therefore,

x + 60° + 90° + 90° + 40° = 360°

⇒ x + 280° = 360°

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q12

3y + 2y – 5 = 180°

⇒ 5y – 5 = 180°

⇒ 5y = 180 + 5°

⇒ 5y = 185°

3y = 3x + 3

⇒ 3 × 37 = 3x + 3

⇒ 111 = 3x + 3

⇒ 111 – 3 = 3x

Hence, x = 36° and y – 37°.

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q13

∠ABC = ∠ADC (Opposite angles of a rhombus)

∠ADC = 126°

∠ODC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × ∠ADC (Diagonal of rhombus bisects the respective angles)

⇒ ∠ODC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × 126° = 63°

⇒ ∠DOC = 90° (Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90°)

∠OCD + ∠ODC + ∠DOC = 180° (Angle sum property)

⇒ ∠OCD + 63° + 90° = 180°

⇒ ∠OCD + 153° = 180°

⇒ ∠OCD = 180° – 153° = 27°

Hence ∠OCD or ∠ACD = 27°

Understanding Quadrilaterals NCERT Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Q14

x + 8 = 16 – x

⇒ x + x = 16 – 8

Similarly, OB = OD

5y + 4 = 2y + 13

Hence, x = 4 and y = 3

3. What is the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral? Will this property hold if the quadrilateral is not convex? (Make a non-convex quadrilateral and try!)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 5

Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral.

From the figure, we infer that the quadrilateral ABCD is formed by two triangles,

i.e. ΔADC and ΔABC.

Since we know that sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°,

the sum of the measures of the angles is 180° + 180° = 360°

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 6

Let us take another quadrilateral ABCD which is not convex .

Join BC, such that it divides ABCD into two triangles ΔABC and ΔBCD. In ΔABC,

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180° (angle sum property of triangle)

∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 = 180° (angle sum property of triangle)

∴, ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 = 180° + 180°

⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 = 360°

⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°

Thus, this property holds if the quadrilateral is not convex.

4. Examine the table. (Each figure is divided into triangles and the sum of the angles deduced from that.)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 7

What can you say about the angle sum of a convex polygon with number of sides? (a) 7 (b) 8 (c) 10 (d) n

The angle sum of a polygon having side n = (n-2)×180°

Here, n = 7

Thus, angle sum = (7-2)×180° = 5×180° = 900°

Here, n = 8

Thus, angle sum = (8-2)×180° = 6×180° = 1080°

Here, n = 10

Thus, angle sum = (10-2)×180° = 8×180° = 1440°

Here, n = n

Thus, angle sum = (n-2)×180°

5. What is a regular polygon?

State the name of a regular polygon of

(i) 3 sides (ii) 4 sides (iii) 6 sides

Regular polygon: A polygon having sides of equal length and angles of equal measures is called a regular polygon. A regular polygon is both equilateral and equiangular.

(i) A regular polygon of 3 sides is called an equilateral triangle.

(ii) A regular polygon of 4 sides is called a square.

(iii) A regular polygon of 6 sides is called a regular hexagon.

6. Find the angle measure of x in the following figures.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 8

a) The figure has 4 sides. Hence, it is a quadrilateral. Sum of angles of the quadrilateral = 360°

⇒ 50° + 130° + 120° + x = 360°

⇒ 300° + x = 360°

⇒ x = 360° – 300° = 60°

b) The figure has 4 sides. Hence, it is a quadrilateral. Also, one side is perpendicular forming a right angle.

Sum of angles of the quadrilateral = 360°

⇒ 90° + 70° + 60° + x = 360°

⇒ 220° + x = 360°

⇒ x = 360° – 220° = 140°

c) The figure has 5 sides. Hence, it is a pentagon.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 9

Sum of angles of the pentagon = 540° Two angles at the bottom are a linear pair.

∴, 180° – 70° = 110°

180° – 60° = 120°

⇒ 30° + 110° + 120° + x + x = 540°

⇒ 260° + 2x = 540°

⇒ 2x = 540° – 260° = 280°

⇒ 2x = 280°

d) The figure has 5 equal sides. Hence, it is a regular pentagon. Thus, all its angles are equal.

⇒ x = 540°/5

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 10

a) Sum of all angles of triangle = 180°

One side of triangle = 180°- (90° + 30°) = 60°

x + 90° = 180° ⇒ x = 180° – 90° = 90°

y + 60° = 180° ⇒ y = 180° – 60° = 120°

z + 30° = 180° ⇒ z = 180° – 30° = 150°

x + y + z = 90° + 120° + 150° = 360°

b) Sum of all angles of quadrilateral = 360°

One side of quadrilateral = 360°- (60° + 80° + 120°) = 360° – 260° = 100°

x + 120° = 180° ⇒ x = 180° – 120° = 60°

y + 80° = 180° ⇒ y = 180° – 80° = 100°

z + 60° = 180° ⇒ z = 180° – 60° = 120°

w + 100° = 180° ⇒ w = 180° – 100° = 80°

x + y + z + w = 60° + 100° + 120° + 80° = 360°

Exercise 3.2 Page: 44

1. Find x in the following figures.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 11

125° + m = 180° ⇒ m = 180° – 125° = 55° (Linear pair)

125° + n = 180° ⇒ n = 180° – 125° = 55° (Linear pair)

x = m + n (The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles)

⇒ x = 55° + 55° = 110°

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 13

Two interior angles are right angles = 90°

70° + m = 180° ⇒ m = 180° – 70° = 110° (Linear pair)

60° + n = 180° ⇒ n = 180° – 60° = 120° (Linear pair) The figure is having five sides and is a pentagon.

Thus, sum of the angles of a pentagon = 540°

⇒ 90° + 90° + 110° + 120° + y = 540°

⇒ 410° + y = 540° ⇒ y = 540° – 410° = 130°

x + y = 180° (Linear pair)

⇒ x + 130° = 180°

⇒ x = 180° – 130° = 50°

2. Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon of

(i) 9 sides (ii) 15 sides

Sum of the angles of a regular polygon having side n = (n-2)×180°

(i) Sum of the angles of a regular polygon having 9 sides = (9-2)×180°= 7×180° = 1260°

Each interior angle=1260/9 = 140°

Each exterior angle = 180° – 140° = 40°

Each exterior angle = Sum of exterior angles/Number of angles = 360/9 = 40°

(ii) Sum of angles of a regular polygon having side 15 = (15-2)×180°

= 13×180° = 2340°

Each interior angle = 2340/15 = 156°

Each exterior angle = 180° – 156° = 24°

Each exterior angle = sum of exterior angles/Number of angles = 360/15 = 24°

3. How many sides does a regular polygon have if the measure of an exterior angle is 24°?

Each exterior angle = sum of exterior angles/Number of angles

24°= 360/ Number of sides

⇒ Number of sides = 360/24 = 15

Thus, the regular polygon has 15 sides.

4. How many sides does a regular polygon have if each of its interior angles is 165°?

Interior angle = 165°

Exterior angle = 180° – 165° = 15°

Number of sides = sum of exterior angles/exterior angles

⇒ Number of sides = 360/15 = 24

Thus, the regular polygon has 24 sides.

5. a) Is it possible to have a regular polygon with measure of each exterior angle as 22°?

    b) Can it be an interior angle of a regular polygon? Why?

a) Exterior angle = 22°

Number of sides = sum of exterior angles/ exterior angle

⇒ Number of sides = 360/22 = 16.36

No, we can’t have a regular polygon with each exterior angle as 22° as it is not a divisor of 360.

b) Interior angle = 22°

Exterior angle = 180° – 22°= 158°

No, we can’t have a regular polygon with each exterior angle as 158° as it is not a divisor of 360.

6.  a) What is the minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon? Why?

     b) What is the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon?

a) An equilateral triangle is the regular polygon (with 3 sides) having the least possible minimum interior angle because a regular polygon can be constructed with minimum 3 sides.

Since the sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Each interior angle = 180/3 = 60°

b) An equilateral triangle is the regular polygon (with 3 sides) having the maximum exterior angle because the regular polygon with the least number of sides has the maximum exterior angle possible. Maximum exterior possible = 180 – 60° = 120°

Exercise 3.3 Page: 50

1. Given a parallelogram ABCD. Complete each statement along with the definition or property used.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 14

(i) AD = …… (ii) ∠DCB = ……

(iii) OC = …… (iv) m ∠DAB + m ∠CDA = ……

(i) AD = BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

(ii) ∠DCB = ∠DAB (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)

(iii) OC = OA (Diagonals of a parallelogram are equal)

(iv) m ∠DAB + m ∠CDA = 180°

2. Consider the following parallelograms. Find the values of the unknown x, y, z

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 15

y = 100° (opposite angles of a parallelogram)

x + 100° = 180° (adjacent angles of a parallelogram)

⇒ x = 180° – 100° = 80°

x = z = 80° (opposite angles of a parallelogram)

∴, x = 80°, y = 100° and z = 80°

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 17

50° + x = 180° ⇒ x = 180° – 50° = 130° (adjacent angles of a parallelogram) x = y = 130° (opposite angles of a parallelogram)

x = z = 130° (corresponding angle)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 18

x = 90° (vertical opposite angles)

x + y + 30° = 180° (angle sum property of a triangle)

⇒ 90° + y + 30° = 180°

⇒ y = 180° – 120° = 60°

also, y = z = 60° (alternate angles)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 19

z = 80° (corresponding angle) z = y = 80° (alternate angles) x + y = 180° (adjacent angles)

⇒ x + 80° = 180° ⇒ x = 180° – 80° = 100°

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 20

y = 112o z = 28o

3. Can a quadrilateral ABCD be a parallelogram if (i) ∠D + ∠B = 180°?

(ii) AB = DC = 8 cm, AD = 4 cm and BC = 4.4 cm?

(iii)∠A = 70° and ∠C = 65°?

(i) Yes, a quadrilateral ABCD can be a parallelogram if ∠D + ∠B = 180° but it should also fulfil some conditions, which are:

(a) The sum of the adjacent angles should be 180°.

(b) Opposite angles must be equal.

(ii) No, opposite sides should be of the same length. Here, AD ≠ BC

(iii) No, opposite angles should be of the same measures. ∠A ≠ ∠C

4. Draw a rough figure of a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram but has exactly two opposite angles of equal measure.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 21

ABCD is a figure of quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram but has exactly two opposite angles, that is, ∠B = ∠D of equal measure. It is not a parallelogram because ∠A ≠ ∠C.

5. The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3 : 2. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

Let the measures of two adjacent angles ∠A and ∠B be 3x and 2x, respectively in

parallelogram ABCD.

∠A + ∠B = 180°

⇒ 3x + 2x = 180°

⇒ 5x = 180°

We know that opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

∠A = ∠C = 3x = 3 × 36° = 108°

∠B = ∠D = 2x = 2 × 36° = 72°

6. Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram have equal measure. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

Let ABCD be a parallelogram.

Sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram = 180°

⇒ 2∠A = 180°

also, 90° + ∠B = 180°

⇒ ∠B = 180° – 90° = 90°

∠A = ∠C = 90°

∠B = ∠D = 90

7. The adjacent figure HOPE is a parallelogram. Find the angle measures x, y and z. State the properties you use to find them.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 22

y = 40° (alternate interior angle)

∠P = 70° (alternate interior angle)

∠P = ∠H = 70° (opposite angles of a parallelogram)

z = ∠H – 40°= 70° – 40° = 30°

∠H + x = 180°

⇒ 70° + x = 180°

⇒ x = 180° – 70° = 110°

8. The following figures GUNS and RUNS are parallelograms. Find x and y. (Lengths are in cm)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 23

(i) SG = NU and SN = GU (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal) 3x = 18

3y – 1 = 26

⇒ 3y = 26 + 1

⇒ y = 27/3=9

x = 6 and y = 9

(ii) 20 = y + 7 and 16 = x + y (diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other) y + 7 = 20

⇒ y = 20 – 7 = 13 and,

⇒ x + 13 = 16

⇒ x = 16 – 13 = 3

x = 3 and y = 13

9. In the above figure both RISK and CLUE are parallelograms. Find the value of x.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 24

∠K + ∠R = 180° (adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary)

⇒ 120° + ∠R = 180°

⇒ ∠R = 180° – 120° = 60°

also, ∠R = ∠SIL (corresponding angles)

⇒ ∠SIL = 60°

also, ∠ECR = ∠L = 70° (corresponding angles) x + 60° + 70° = 180° (angle sum of a triangle)

10. Explain how this figure is a trapezium. Which of its two sides are parallel? (Fig 3.32)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 25

When a transversal line intersects two lines in such a way that the sum of the adjacent angles on the same side of transversal is 180°, then the lines are parallel to each other. Here, ∠M + ∠L = 100° + 80° = 180°

Thus, MN || LK

As the quadrilateral KLMN has one pair of parallel lines, it is a trapezium. MN and LK are parallel lines.

11. Find m∠C in Fig 3.33 if AB || DC.

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 26

m∠C + m∠B = 180° (angles on the same side of transversal)

⇒ m∠C + 120° = 180°

⇒ m∠C = 180°- 120° = 60°

12. Find the measure of ∠P and ∠S if SP || RQ ? in Fig 3.34. (If you find m∠R, is there more than one method to find m∠P?)

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 27

∠P + ∠Q = 180° (angles on the same side of transversal)

⇒ ∠P + 130° = 180°

⇒ ∠P = 180° – 130° = 50°

also, ∠R + ∠S = 180° (angles on the same side of transversal)

⇒ 90° + ∠S = 180°

⇒ ∠S = 180° – 90° = 90°

Thus, ∠P = 50° and ∠S = 90°

Yes, there are more than one method to find m∠P.

PQRS is a quadrilateral. Sum of measures of all angles is 360°.

Since, we know the measurement of ∠Q, ∠R and ∠S.

∠Q = 130°, ∠R = 90° and ∠S = 90°

∠P + 130° + 90° + 90° = 360°

⇒ ∠P + 310° = 360°

⇒ ∠P = 360° – 310° = 50°

(d) All squares are not parallelograms.

(e) All kites are rhombuses.

(f) All rhombuses are kites.

(g) All parallelograms are trapeziums.

(h) All squares are trapeziums.

Because all squares are rectangles but all rectangles are not squares.

Because all squares are parallelograms as opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal.

Because, for example, the length of the sides of a kite are not of the same length.

2. Identify all the quadrilaterals that have.

(a) four sides of equal length (b) four right angles

(a) Rhombus and square have all four sides of equal length.

4. Name the quadrilaterals whose diagonals.

(i) bisect each other (ii) are perpendicular bisectors of each other (iii) are equal

(i) Parallelogram, Rhombus, Square and Rectangle

(ii) Rhombus and Square

(iii)Rectangle and Square

5. Explain why a rectangle is a convex quadrilateral.

A rectangle is a convex quadrilateral because both of its diagonals lie inside the rectangle.

6. ABC is a right-angled triangle and O is the mid-point of the side opposite to the right angle. Explain why O is equidistant from A, B and C. (The dotted lines are drawn additionally to help you).

NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Image 28

AD and DC are drawn so that AD || BC and AB || DC

AD = BC and AB = DC

ABCD is a rectangle as opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other and all the interior angles are of 90°.

In a rectangle, diagonals are of equal length and also bisect each other.

Hence, AO = OC = BO = OD

Thus, O is equidistant from A, B and C.

Case Study Questions on Heron’s Formula

Mayank bought a triangle shape field and wants to grow potato and wheat on his field. He divided his field by joining opposite sides. On the largest park he grew wheat and on the rest part he grew potato. The dimensions of a park are shown in the park.

case study questions class 8 maths understanding quadrilaterals

On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions:

Q 1. Find the length of AC in ΔABC.

Q 2. Find the area of ΔABC.

Q 3. If the cost of ploughing park is ₹5 per cm 2 , then find the total cost of ploughing the park.

1. In right angled $\triangle A B C$, use Pythagoras theorem,

$$ \begin{aligned} A C & =\sqrt{(A B)^2+(B C)^2}=\sqrt{(12)^2+(5)^2} \\ \vdots & =\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169}=13 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned} $$

Hence, length of $A C$ is 13 m .

2. Area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$

$$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{2} \times A B \times B C \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 5=30 \mathrm{~m}^2 \end{aligned} $$

3. Since, the total area of the park $=30 \mathrm{~m}^2$ $\because$ The cost of ploughing the park in $1 \mathrm{~m}^2=5$ $\therefore$ The cost of ploughing the park in $30 \mathrm{~m}^2$

$$ \begin{aligned} & = 5\times 30\\ & =150 \end{aligned} $$

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Heron’s Formula Case Study

Q1: what is heron’s formula.

A1: Heron’s Formula is used to calculate the area of a triangle when the lengths of all three sides are known. The formula is: Area of triangle $=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

Q2: How is Heron’s Formula derived?

A2: Heron’s formula is derived from the general area formula of a triangle. It simplifies the calculation of the area without needing the height. This is particularly useful for triangles where the height is difficult to determine directly. The formula is based on the triangle’s semi-perimeter and each of its sides.

Q3: When should Heron’s Formula be used?

A3: Heron’s Formula should be used when the lengths of all three sides of a triangle are given, and the height is unknown. It allows you to find the area of any triangle (scalene, isosceles, or equilateral) as long as you know the sides.

Q4: Can Heron’s Formula be used for right-angled triangles?

A4: Yes, Heron’s Formula can be used for right-angled triangles, although for right-angled triangles, a simpler method involving the base and height (half the product of the base and height) can also be used to find the area.

Q5: What is the significance of the semi-perimeter in Heron’s Formula?

A5: The semi-perimeter (s) is half the perimeter of the triangle. It acts as a key variable in the formula, simplifying the calculation of the area by incorporating all three sides of the triangle in a single expression.

Q6: Can Heron’s Formula be applied to a quadrilateral?

A6: No, Heron’s Formula specifically applies to triangles. However, if a quadrilateral can be divided into two triangles, the area of each triangle can be found using Heron’s Formula, and the sum of the areas will give the total area of the quadrilateral.

Q7: How is Heron’s Formula applied in real-life problems?

A7: Heron’s Formula is used in fields like civil engineering, architecture, and land surveying where determining the area of irregular land plots or structures is necessary, especially when only the lengths of the boundaries are known.

Q8: Are there any online resources or tools available for practicing Circles case study questions?

A9: We provide case study questions for CBSE Class 9 Maths on our website. Students can visit the website and practice sufficient case study questions and prepare for their exams. If you need more case study questions, then you can visit Physics Gurukul website. they are having a large collection of case study questions for all classes.
