Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
The following figure RING is a parallelogram. If ∠R = 70° then final out remaining all angels of this parallelogram.
RBSE Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Polygons Additional Questions img-2
Solution
By showing given(RBSESolutions.com)parallelogram RING,
∵∠R = 70° (given that)
∴∠N = 70°
∵∠N, ∠R are opposite angles
we know that the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°, therefore ∠I = 180° – 70° = 110°
so we can write ∠G = 110° ∵ ∠I, ∠G are opposite angles.

Question 2.
The following figure PQRS in a parallelogram. Find x and y (length is in cm).
RBSE Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Polygons Additional Questions img-3
Solution
In parallelogram PQ = SR
so 3x – 1 = 29
or 3x = 29 + 1
or 3x = 30
or x = \(\frac { 30 }{ 3 }\)
= 10 cm
In parallelogram PS = QR
so 4y = 24
or y = \(\frac { 24 }{ 4 }\)
= 6 cm
so we can write x = 10 cm and y = 6 cm

RBSE Solutions

Question 3.
A mason has made a concrete slab. He needs it to be rectangular. In what different ways can he make sure that it is rectangular?
Solution
To make a concrete(RBSESolutions.com)rectangular slab the man son should ensure

  • its opposite sides equal;
  • its diagonals equal;
  • each angle measure 90°.

Question 4.
Find out value of x and y in the given parallelogram.
RBSE Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Polygons Additional Questions img-4
Solution
We know that the diagonals(RBSESolutions.com)of parallelogram bisect each other
∴ x + 3 = 20 ….(1)
y = 16 ……(2)
From equation (1)
x = 20 – 3 = 17
y = 16

Question 5.
A square was defined as a(RBSESolutions.com)rectangle with all sides equal. Can we define it as rhombus with equal angles? Explore this idea.
Solution
Square can not be defined as a rhombus with equal angles as its diagonal will not be equal unless its each angle is 90°.

RBSE Solutions

Question 6.
Can a trapezium have all angles equal? Can it have all sides equal? Explain.
Solution
A trapezium cannot have all angles equal as its opposite sides become parallel. But trapezium is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. A trapezium cannot have all sides equal as again its(RBSESolutions.com)opposite sides become parallel. But trapezium is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

Question 7.
The following figures GUNS and RUNS are parallelograms. Find x and y. (Lengths are in cm)
RBSE Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Polygons Additional Questions img-5
Solution
(i) Since GUNS is a parallelogram, therefore, its opposite sides are equal,
i. e., GS = UN and GU = SN
or 3x = 18, => x = 6
and 3y – 1 = 26
or 3y = 26 + 1 = 27
or y = 9
∴x = 6 cm and y = 9 cm Ans.

(ii) Diagonals of a parallelogram(RBSESolutions.com)bisect each other, therefore,
OR = ON i.e. 16 = x + y ….(1)
and OU = OS i.e. y + 7 = 20 ….(2)
From (2), y = 20 – 7 = 13 cm
putting y = 13 in (1), we get
16 = x + 13
or x = 16 – 13 = 3 cm
Hence x = 3 cm and y = 13 cm

RBSE Solutions

Question 8.
Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram have equal measure. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.
Solution
Let x be the measure of two adjacent angles A and B.
We know that the adjacent angles(RBSESolutions.com)of a parallelogram are supplementary.
∴ ∠P + ∠Q = 180°
or X + x = 180°
or 2x = 180°
or x = 90°
∴ ∠P = 90° and ∠Q = 90°
We know that the opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram
∴ ∠P = ∠Q = ∠R = ∠S = 90°

Question 9.
Find the values of x and y from given parallelogram ABCD.
RBSE Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Polygons Additional Questions img-6
Solution
Since opposite sides of a parallelogram(RBSESolutions.com)are equal in lengths, therefore
3x + 1 = 16 ⇒ 3x = 16 – 1
⇒ 3x = 15 ⇒ x = 5 cm.
5y – 6 = 24 ⇒ 5y = 24 + 6
⇒ 5y = 30 ⇒ y = 6 cm. Ans.

Question 10.
Find the values of unknown angles x, y, z and w in the following figure
RBSE Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Polygons Additional Questions img-7
Solution
Here x + 60° = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ x = 180° – 60° = 120°
Again, y + 100° = 180°
⇒ y = 180° – 100 = 80°
Similarly, z + 130° = 180°
⇒ z = 180° – 130° = 50°
We know that the sum of all interior angles of an n sided polygon is (2n – 4) right angle.
∴The sum of all interior(RBSESolutions.com)angles of 5 sided polygon
= (2 x 5 – 4) x 90°
= 6 x 90°
= 540°
Let the remaining two angles of pentagon be a and b.
RBSE Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Polygons Additional Questions img-8
Then a + b + x + 100° + 130° = 540°
⇒ a + (180° – 85°) + 120° + 100° + 130° = 540°
⇒ a + 95° + 120° + 100° + 130° = 540°
⇒ a + 445° = 540°
⇒ a – 540° – 445° = 95°
∴w = 180° – a = 180° – 95°
⇒ w = 85°

RBSE Solutions

Question 11.
Find the value of x and y in given parallelogram PQRS.
RBSE Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Polygons Additional Questions img-9
Also write any two properties used to find the value of angles.
Solution
PQRS is a parallelogram
∴PS || RQ and PR is transversal
∴y = 40° (alternate angle)
When PS || RQ and PQ is transversal
∠SPQ = 70° (corresponding angle)
40° + x° = 70°
x = 70° – 40°
x = 30°.
Two properties :

  • Alternate angles are equal.
  • Corresponding(RBSESolutions.com)angles are equal.
