(D) Short Answer Questions

Sample Question 1 : Angles of a quadrilateral are in


the ratio 3 : 4 : 4 : 7. Find all the

angles of the quadrilateral.

Solution : Let the angles of the quadrilateral be 3x, 4x,


4x and 7x.

So, 3x + 4x + 4x + 7x = 360º

21
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

or 18x = 360º, i.e., x = 20º

Thus, required angles are 60º, 80º, 80º and 140º.

Sample Question 2 : In Fig.8.3, X and Y

are respectively the mid-points of the opposite

sides AD and BC of a parallelogram ABCD.

Also, BX and DY intersect AC at P and Q,

respectively. Show that AP = PQ = QC.

Solution : AD = BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)

Therefore, DX = BY ( 1 AD) = 1
BC)
2 2

Also, DX || BY (As AD || BC)

So, XBYD is a parallelogram (A pair of opposite sides


equal and parallel)

i.e., PX || QD

Therefore, AP = PQ (From DAQD where X is mid-point


of AD)

Similarly, from DCPB, CQ = PQ (1)

22
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

Thus, AP = PQ = CQ [From (1) and (2)] (2)

Sample Question 3 : In Fig.8.4, AX and

CY are respectively the bisectors of the

opposite angles A and C of a parallelogram

ABCD.

Show that AX || CY.

Solution : ÐA = ÐC

(Opposite angles of parallelogram ABCD)

1
Therefore ÐA = 1 ÐC
2 2

i.e., ÐYAX = ÐYCX (1)

Also, ÐAYC + ÐYCX = 180º (Because YA || CX) (2)

Therefore, ÐAYC + ÐYAX = 180º [From (1) and (2)]

So, AX || CY (As interior angles on the same side of the


transversal are supplementary)

EXERCISE 8.3

(E) Long Answer Questions

Sample Question 1 : PQ and RS are two equal and


parallel line-segments. Any point

M not lying on PQ or RS is joined to Q and S and lines


through P parallel to QM and

through R parallel to SM meet at N. Prove that line


segments MN and PQ are equal

and parallel to each other.

Solution : We draw the figure as per the given


conditions (Fig.8.8).

32
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

It is given that PQ = RS and PQ || RS. Therefore, PQSR


is a parallelogram.

So, PR = QS and PR || QS (1)

Now, PR || QS

Therefore, ÐRPQ + ÐPQS = 180º

(Interior angles on the same side of the transversal)

i.e., ÐRPQ + ÐPQM + ÐMQS = 180º (2)

Also, PN || QM (By construction)

Therefore, ÐNPQ + ÐPQM = 180º

i.e., ÐNPR + ÐRPQ + ÐPQM = 180º (3)

So, ÐNPR = ÐMQS [From (2) and (3)] (4)

Similarly, ÐNRP = ÐMSQ (5)

Therefore, DPNR @ DQMS [ASA, using (1), (4) and (5)]

So, PN = QM and NR = MS (CPCT)

As, PN = QM and

PN || QM, we have PQMN is a parallelogram

33
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

So, MN = PQ and NM || PQ.

Sample Question 2 : Prove that a diagonal of a


parallelogram divides it into two

congruent triangles.

Solution : See proof of Theorem 8.1 in the textbook.

Sample Question 3 : Show that the quadrilateral


formed by joining the mid-points the

sides of a rhombus, taken in order, form a rectangle.

Solution : Let ABCD be a rhombus and P, Q, R and S be


the mid-points of sides AB,

BC, CD and DA, respectively (Fig. 8.9). Join AC and BD.

34
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

From triangle ABD, we have SP = 1 1 BD and SP || BD


2

(Because S and P are mid-points)

Similarly, RQ = 1 BD and RQ || BD
2

Therefore, SP = RQ and SP || RQ

So, PQRS is a parallelogram. (1)

Also,AC ^ BD (Diagonals of a rhombus are


perpendicular)

Further PQ || AC (From DBAC)

As SP || BD, PQ || AC and AC ^ BD,

therefore, we have SP ^ PQ, i.e. ÐSPQ = 90º. (2)

Therefore, PQRS is a rectangle[From (1) and (2)]

Sample Question 4 : A diagonal of a parallelogram


bisects one of its angle. Prove

that it will bisect its opposite angle also.

Solution : Let us draw the figure as per given condition


(Fig.8.10). In it, AC is a

35
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

diagonal which bisects ÐBAD of the parallelogram


ABCD, i.e., it is given that ÐBAC

= ÐDAC. We need to prove that ÐBCA = ÐDCA.

AB || CD and AC is a transversal.

Therefore, ÐBAC = ÐDCA (Alternate angles) (1)

Similarly, ÐDAC = ÐBCA (From AD || BC) (2)

But it is given that ÐBAC = ÐDAC (3)

Therefore, from (1), (2) and (3), we have

ÐBCA = ÐDCA
