## JAC Board Class 9th Maths Important Questions Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals

Question 1.
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC. M and N are the mid-points of AD and BC respectively. If AB = 12 cm and MN = 14 cm, find CD.

Solution :
Here, ABCD is a trapezium in which, AB || DC and M and N are mid-points of AD and BC respectively. Since the line segment joining the midpoints of non-parallel sides of trapezium is half of the sum of the lengths of its parallel sides
⇒ MN = $$\frac {1}{2}$$(AB + CD)
⇒ 14 = $$\frac {1}{2}$$(12 + CD)
⇒ 28 = 12 + CD
⇒ CD = 28 – 12 = 16 cm

Question 2.
Use the informations given in figure below to calculate the value of x.

Solution :
Since, EB is a straight line.
∴ ∠DAE + ∠DAB = 180°
⇒ 73° + ∠DAB = 180°
i.e., ∠DAB = 180° – 73° = 107°
∴ ∠DAB + ∠ABC + ∠BCD + ∠CDA = 360°
Since the sum of the angles of quadrilateral ABCD is 360°
∴ 107° + 105° + x + 80° = 360°
⇒ 292° + x = 360°
⇒ x = 360° – 292° = 68°

Question 3.
ABCD is a rhombus and AB is produced to E and F such that AE = AB = BF. Prove that EG and FG are perpendicular to each other.

Solution :
Given: ABCD is a rhombus. AB produced to E and F such that AE = AB = BF
Construction: Join ED and CF and produce it to meet at G.
To prove: ED ⊥ FC
Proof: AB is produced to points E and F such that AE = AB = BF …(i)
Also, since ABCD is a rhombus
AB = CD = BC = AD ……..(ii)
Now, in ΔBCF, BC = BF [From (i) and (ii)]
⇒ ∠1 = ∠2
∠3 = ∠1 + ∠2 [Exterior angle]
∠3 = 2∠2 ……..(iii)
∠5 = ∠6 …(iv)
⇒ ∠4 = ∠5 + ∠6 = 2∠5
Adding (iii) and (iv) we get
∠4 + ∠3 = 2∠5 +2∠2
⇒ 180° = 2(∠5 + ∠2) [∵ ∠4 and ∠3 are consecutive interior angles]
⇒ ∠5 + ∠2 = 90°
∴ Now in ΔEGF
∠5 + ∠2 + ∠EGF = 180°
⇒ ED ⊥ FC
⇒ ∠EGF = 90° Hence Proved.

Question 4.
In the given figure, E and F are respectively, the mid-points of nonparallel sides of a trapezium ABCD. Prove that
(i) EF || AB
(ii) EF = $$\frac {1}{2}$$(AB + DC).

Solution :
Join BE and produce it to intersect CD produced at point P. In ΔAEB and ΔDEP, AB || PC and BP is transversal
⇒ ∠ABE – ∠DPE (Alternate interior angles)
∠AEB = ∠DEP (Vertically opposite angles)
And AE = DE (E is mid-point of AD)
⇒ ΔAEB ≅ ΔDEP (By AAS)
⇒ BE = PE [By CPCT]
And AB = DP [By CPCT]
Since the line segment joining the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle is parallel and half of the third side, therefore, in ΔBPC E is mid-point of BP [As, BE = PE]
and F is mid-point of BC [Given]
⇒ EF || PC and EF = $$\frac {1}{2}$$PC
⇒ EF || DC and EF = $$\frac {1}{2}$$(PD + DC)
⇒ EF || AB and EF = $$\frac {1}{2}$$(AB + DC) (As, DC || AB and PD = AB)
Hence, proved.
