Quadrilaterals Question 1:
ABCD is a trapezium in which BC ∥ AD and AC = CD. If ∠ABC = 69° and ∠BAC = 23° , then what is the measure of ∠ACD (in degree) .?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
ABCD is a trapezium (trapezoid) with BC parallel to AD (BC || AD).
AC = CD (This means triangle ACD is an isosceles triangle).
Angle ABC (∠ABC) = 69°
Angle BAC (∠BAC) = 23°
Find: The measure of Angle ACD (∠ACD).
Calculation:
Find Angle ACB in Triangle ABC.
The sum of angles in any triangle is 180°.
In Triangle ABC:
∠ACB = 180° - (∠ABC + ∠BAC)
∠ACB = 180° - (69° + 23°)
∠ACB = 180° - 92°
∠ACB = 88°
Use the property of parallel lines to find Angle CAD.
Since BC is parallel to AD (BC || AD) and AC is a transversal line, the alternate interior angles are equal.
∠CAD = ∠ACB
Since ∠ACB = 88° (from Step 1), then ∠CAD = 88°
Find Angle ACD in Triangle ACD.
We are given that AC = CD. This means Triangle ACD is an isosceles triangle.
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.
The angle opposite side CD is ∠CAD.
The angle opposite side AC is ∠CDA.
Therefore, ∠CDA = ∠CAD = 88°.
Now, apply the sum of angles property to Triangle ACD:
∠ACD + ∠CAD + ∠CDA = 180°
∠ACD + 88° + 88° = 180°
∠ACD + 176° = 180°
∠ACD = 180° - 176°
∠ACD = 4°
The measure of ∠ACD is 4 degrees.

The correct answer is 114.
Quadrilaterals Question 3:
If the measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon is 45°, then the number of its sides is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon: 45°
Calculation:
Let's denote the number of sides of the regular polygon as "n".
According to the given information,
The measure of an exterior angle is 45°.
Using the formula mentioned above,
We can write the equation: 360° / n = 45°
To solve for "n", we can cross-multiply and simplify:
⇒ 360° = 45n
Dividing both sides by 45°: 360° / 45° = n
⇒ 8 = n
Therefore, the number of sides of the regular polygon is 8.
Quadrilaterals Question 4:
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which ∠A = 67∘ and ∠B = 92∘. What is the difference between the measures of ∠C and ∠D?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∠A = 67°
∠B = 92°
Formula used:
In a cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles are supplementary:
∠A + ∠C = 180°
∠B + ∠D = 180°
Difference between ∠C and ∠D = |∠C - ∠D|
Calculations:
∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180° - 67° = 113°
∠B + ∠D = 180°
⇒ ∠D = 180° - 92° = 88°
Difference between ∠C and ∠D = |∠C - ∠D|
⇒ Difference = |113° - 88°|
⇒ Difference = 25°
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
Quadrilaterals Question 5:

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
Angles of a pentagon are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 6 : 7 : 10.
Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = 540º.
Formula Used:
Sum of angles in a polygon = (n - 2) × 180, where n is the number of sides.
Individual angle = (Ratio of angle / Total ratio) × Sum of angles.
Calculation:
Total ratio = 1 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 10 = 27.
Smallest angle corresponds to ratio 1.
Smallest angle = (1 / 27) × 540.
⇒ Smallest angle = 540 / 27.
⇒ Smallest angle = 20º.
The smallest angle is 20º.

Quadrilaterals Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
In parallelogram ABCD, AL and CM are perpendicular to CD and AD respectively.
AL = 20 cm, CD = 18 cm and CM = 15 cm
Formula used:
Area of parallelogram = Base × Height
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 × (Sum of parallel sides)
Calculation:
Area of ABCD with base DC = AL × DC = 20 × 18
⇒ 360 cm2
Again, Area of ABCD with base AD = CM × AD = 15 × AD
⇒ 360 cm2 = 15 × AD
⇒ AD = 24 cm
∴ AD = BC = 24 cm, DC = AB = 18 cm
Perimeter of ABCD = 2 × (24 + 18)
⇒ 2 × 42
⇒ 84 cm
∴ The required result = 84 cm

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 9 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
PQRS is a cyclic trapezium where PQ is parallel to RS.
PQ is the diameter & ∠QPR = 40°
Concept:
Angle made in a semicircle is a right angle.
The sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic trapezium is 180°.
Calculation:
In triangle PQR,
∠RPQ + ∠RQP + ∠QRP = 180° [Angle sum property]
⇒ 40° + ∠RQP + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠RQP = 180° - 130° = 50°
∠RQP + ∠PSR = 180° [Supplementary Angles]
∴ ∠PSR = 180° - 50° = 130°

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 10 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFigure:
Calculation:
As the diagonals of a rectangle intersect each other,
⇒ AO = OB
⇒ ∠OBA = ∠OAB = 25° [∵ Angle opposite to equal side are equal]
By angle sum property in ΔAOB,
⇒ ∠AOB + ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB + 25° + 25° = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB = 130°
By linear pair property,
⇒ ∠DOA + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ ∠DOA + 130° = 180°
⇒ ∠DOA = 50°
∴ Both diagonals make 50° angle with each other.ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Diagonals BD and AC intersect each other at E. If ∠BEC = 138° and ∠ECD = 35°, then what is the measure of ∠BAC?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 11 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
∠BEC = 138° and ∠ECD = 35°
Concept used:
In cyclic quadrilateral angles on the same arc are always same
Calculation:
∠BEC and ∠CED are on the same straight lines
∠BEC =138°
∠CED = 180° – 138°
⇒ ∠CED = 42°
In ΔCDE, ∠CED = 42° and ∠DCE = 35°
∠CDE = 180° - (42° + 35°)
∠CDE = 103°
∠BAC and ∠BDC are on the same arc BC
We know that In cyclic quadrilateral angles on the same arc are always same.
∠BAC = 103°
∴ The measure of ∠BAC is 103°
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral such that ∠B = 104°. The tangents at A and C meet at a point P. What is the measure of ∠APC?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 12 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
The ∠B = 104°
Formula used:
Opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral = 180°
Calculation:
In given cyclic quadrilateral ABCD
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 180° - 104° = 76°
Since PA is tangent on the circle at point A and AC is the cord which is subtending the angle ∠D = 76°
The angle between a tangent and a chord of a circle is equal to the angle subtended by the chord in the alternate segment of the circle.
In this case, the tangent at point A (line segment PA) and chord AC subtend ∠PAC in the alternate segment, which is equal to the angle ∠D subtended by the same chord AC. Therefore, ∠PAC = ∠D = 76°.
⇒ ∠PAC = ∠D = 76°
Also,
⇒ ∠PAC = ∠PCA, (As PA and PC are the tangents of A and C)
⇒ ∠PAC = ∠PCA = ∠ADC = 76°
In ΔPAC
⇒ ∠PAC + ∠PCA + ∠APC = 180°
⇒ 76° + 76° + ∠APC = 180°
⇒ ∠APC = 180° - 152° = 28°
∴ The required result will be 28°.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AB = 16 cm, CD = 18 cm and AD = 12 cm, and AC bisects BD. What is the value of AC.BD?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
AB = 16 cm
CD = 18 cm
AD = 12 cm
Concept used:
If diagonal PR bisects diagonal QS then
PQ × QR = PS × RS
In cyclic quadrilateral PQRS
PR × SQ = PQ × RS + PS × QR
Calculation:
According to the concept,
AB × BC = CD × AD
⇒ 16BC = 18 × 12
⇒ 16BC = 216
⇒ BC = 13.5 cm
Now,
Again according to the concept,
AC.DB = AB × CD + AD × BC
⇒ AC.DB = 16 × 18 + 12 × 13.5
⇒ AC.DB = 288 + 162
⇒ AC.DB = 450
∴ The value of AC.BD is 450.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Quadrilaterals Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Radius of semicircle = 10 cm
Formula Used:
Area of semicircle = (1/2)πr2
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
Calculation:
Area of semicircle = (1/2)πr2
⇒ Area of semicircle = (1/2) × (22/7) × (10)2
⇒ Area of semicircle = 157.14 cm2
∵ A is the mid point of OP
OA = 5 cm
In a ΔAOD,
OD2 = OA2 + AD2
⇒ (10)2 = (5)2 + AD2
⇒ AD2 = 100 - 25
⇒ AD2 = 75
⇒ AD = 5√3
Area of rectangle ABCD = AB × AD
⇒ Area of rectangle ABCD = 10 × 5√3
⇒ Area of rectangle ABCD = 50√3
⇒ Area of rectangle ABCD = 86.60 cm2
∴ Area of shaded portion = Area of semicircle - Area of rectangle
⇒ Area of shaded portion = 157.14 - 86.60
⇒ Area of shaded portion = 70.54 cm2
∴ The area of shaded portion is 70.54 cm2.
