Key Concept: Definition of Square

c) A quadrilateral with all angles $90^\circ$ and all sides equal.
[Solution Description]
A square is a quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ and all sides of equal length. It also has diagonals that are equal, bisect each other at $90^\circ$, and bisect the angles of the square.

Key Concept: Rectangle-to-Square Diagonal Comparison

a) $\frac{4\sqrt{17}}{17}$
[Solution Description]
1. Find the perimeter of the rectangle: $P_{rect} = 2(10 + 6) = 32$ cm.
2. Since the square has the same perimeter, $P_{square} = 32$ cm, giving the side length as $s = \frac{32}{4} = 8$ cm.
3. Diagonal of the square: $d_{square} = s\sqrt{2} = 8\sqrt{2}$ cm.
4. Diagonal of the rectangle: $d_{rect} = \sqrt{10^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{100 + 36} = \sqrt{136} \approx 11.66$ cm.
5. The ratio is $\frac{d_{square}}{d_{rect}} = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{136}} = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{34}} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{34}} = \frac{4\sqrt{68}}{34} \approx \frac{4 \times 8.246}{34} \approx 0.97$.
However, simplifying further algebraically:
$\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{34}} \times \frac{\sqrt{34}}{\sqrt{34}} = \frac{4\sqrt{68}}{34} = \frac{4 \times 2\sqrt{17}}{34} = \frac{8\sqrt{17}}{34} = \frac{4\sqrt{17}}{17}$.

Key Concept: Square as a Rectangle

b) Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square
[Solution Description]
Every square is a rectangle because it meets all the conditions of a rectangle (all angles $90^\circ$, opposite sides equal), but not every rectangle is a square since rectangles may have unequal adjacent sides.

Key Concept: Rectangle properties

b) 10 cm
[Solution Description]
According to the properties of a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, if diagonal $AC$ is 10 cm, diagonal $BD$ must also be 10 cm.

Key Concept: Side Length from Diagonal

c) $40$ cm
[Solution Description]
Let the side of the square be $s$. The relationship between the side and the diagonal of a square is given by $d = s\sqrt{2}$. Given $d = 10\sqrt{2}$ cm, we can solve for $s$:
$10\sqrt{2} = s\sqrt{2} \implies s = 10 \, \text{cm}$
The perimeter of the square is $4s = 4 \times 10 = 40$ cm.

Key Concept: Area Calculation with Diagonals

c) $44\%$
[Solution Description]
Let the original diagonal be $d$ and the original side length be $s$. Then, $d = s\sqrt{2}$ and the area is $A = s^2 = \left(\frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = \frac{d^2}{2}$. If the diagonal increases by $20\%$, the new diagonal is $1.2d$. The new area becomes:
$A’ = \frac{(1.2d)^2}{2} = \frac{1.44d^2}{2} = 1.44A$
The percentage increase in area is $(1.44 – 1) \times 100\% = 44\%$.

Key Concept: Opposite Sides of a Rectangle

b) 8 cm
[Solution Description]
By the property of rectangles, opposite sides are equal in length. Here, $AB$ is opposite to $CD$. Since $AB = 8$ cm, then $CD$ must also be 8 cm.

Key Concept: Rectangle Angles, Parallel Sides

a) 30$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since $EFGH$ is a rectangle, all angles are $90^\circ$ and opposite sides are equal and parallel.
Draw $EM$ to midpoint $M$ of $FG$.
Points $E(0,0)$, $F(6,0)$, $G(6,8)$, $H(0,8)$ can represent the rectangle.
Midpoint $M$ of $FG$ is at $(6,4)$.
Slope of $EF$ is $m_{EF} = 0$.
Slope of $EM$ is $m_{EM} = \frac{4-0}{6-0} = \frac{2}{3}$.
The angle between two lines with slopes $m_1$ and $m_2$ is given by $\tan\theta = \left|\frac{m_2 – m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}\right|$.
Here, $m_1 = 0$, $m_2 = \frac{2}{3}$.
$\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{1 + 0}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \approx 33.69^\circ$
However, the exact answer can be derived more simply since the tangent ratio defines the angle. Thus, $\angle FEM$ has a tangent of $\frac{2}{3}$.
But we need an exact value. Alternatively, consider that the angle formed by the median from the right angle to the hypotenuse is not straightforward.
Recalculating, let’s position $EFGH$ as $E(0,0)$, $F(a,0)$, $G(a,b)$, $H(0,b)$. Then, $M\left(a,\frac{b}{2}\right)$. The slope of $EM$ is $\frac{b/2}{a}$, so $\tan\theta = \frac{b}{2a}$.
The options do not require exact trigonometric values; hence we choose the closest logical option.
(This question is complex; the closest reasonable answer is $30^\circ$ if we assume a specific aspect ratio.)

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rectangle

c) Are equal in length and bisect each other
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other at their midpoints. They do not necessarily intersect at right angles unless the rectangle is a square.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rectangle

d) The point $O$ divides both diagonals into two equal parts.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, so the point of intersection $O$ divides both diagonals into two equal parts. Each diagonal will be split into two segments of equal length.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rectangle and Square

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a rectangle always intersect at their midpoints. This is true because, in any rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length and they bisect each other at their midpoints. The reason states that a rectangle is a type of parallelogram where the diagonals bisect each other. This is also true as all rectangles are parallelograms with congruent diagonals that bisect each other. Moreover, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true since it provides the underlying property (parallelogram diagonals bisecting each other) that leads to the assertion being valid.
Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Square

c) 90°
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Therefore, the angle between the diagonals is 90°.

Key Concept: Angles between diagonals in a rectangle

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other and are equal in length. When they intersect, they form four angles. Since the rectangle has all angles equal to $90^\circ$, the diagonals intersect at right angles. Thus, each angle at the intersection is $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Assertion-Reason

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal and bisect each other, but they do not necessarily intersect at $90^\circ$ unless it is a square. Thus, Assertion (A) is false. However, Reason (R) is true because diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other.

Key Concept: Diagonal Intersection, Angle Calculation

c) $100^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other and are equal in length, forming congruent isosceles triangles. For the given quadrilateral formed by the diagonals, the angles are $80^\circ$, $100^\circ$, $80^\circ$, and $100^\circ$.
Since the sum of angles around a point is $360^\circ$, the angle between the diagonals is:
$x + 180 – x = 180^\circ.$
Here, the given angles suggest two pairs of supplementary angles ($80^\circ + 100^\circ = 180^\circ$), which implies the angle between the diagonals alternates as $80^\circ$ and $100^\circ$. Thus, $x$ is either $80^\circ$ or $100^\circ$.
However, for a rectangle, the answer must align with the property that diagonals form congruent isosceles triangles, so $x = 100^\circ$ is correct (as the acute angle would be $80^\circ$).

Key Concept: Properties of diagonals in a square

b) $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals are equal, bisect each other, and intersect at $90^\circ$. Therefore, the angles at the intersection are all equal. If one angle is $x = 90^\circ$, the other three angles will also be $90^\circ$ due to vertically opposite angles and linear pairs.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles, Diagonals

b) 10 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other. Given AO = 5 cm, which is half of diagonal AC. Since diagonals are equal, BD = AC. Therefore, BD = 2 * AO = 10 cm.

Key Concept: Square Construction, Diagonals

c) $90°$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals are equal in length, bisect each other, and intersect at right angles (90°). Thus, to construct a square with a diagonal of 6 cm, the angle between the diagonals must be 90°.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a rectangle

b) 10 cm
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length. If one diagonal is 10 cm, the other diagonal must also be 10 cm.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles and Squares

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that if a quadrilateral has equal-length diagonals that bisect each other at 90°, it must be a square. This is true because such properties are unique to squares among all quadrilaterals. The Reason correctly explains the Assertion as it lists the defining properties of the diagonals of a square. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Rectangle Diagonals, Angle between Diagonals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ (rectangle), the diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other. The angle between the diagonals can be determined by considering two congruent right triangles formed by the diagonals. Let the point of intersection be O. Using properties of rectangles, $\angle AOB$ and $\angle BOC$ are equal and supplementary ($\angle AOB + \angle BOC = 180^\circ$). Hence, each angle must be $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangle Diagonals

b) At the midpoint of both strips
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other at their midpoints. Therefore, the carpenter should join the strips at their midpoints.

Key Concept: Square Construction, Diagonal Properties

c) 8 cm
[Solution Description]
In a square, both diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, if one diagonal is 8 cm, the other diagonal must also be 8 cm. This is because squares have all properties of rectangles plus the additional property that all sides are equal, leading to equal diagonals.

Key Concept: Angles Between Diagonals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
For a square, the diagonals not only bisect each other but also intersect at right angles ($90^\circ$). So, the carpenter must ensure the angle between the diagonals is $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Square Properties

a) $3\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$
[Solution Description]
For any square, diagonals are equal and bisect each other perpendicularly. Given AB = 6 cm (side length), we find diagonal AC first using Pythagorean theorem:
$AC = \sqrt{AB^2 + BC^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.
Since diagonals bisect each other, AO = half of AC = $\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{2} = 3\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.
Calculation steps:
1) Calculate diagonal AC using Pythagoras: $AC = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = 6\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.
2) Find AO as half of AC: $AO = 3\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.

Key Concept: Square Properties

c) They bisect each other at $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Both squares and rectangles have diagonals that are equal in length and bisect each other. However, the diagonals of a square additionally bisect each other at right angles ($90^\circ$), which is not necessarily true for all rectangles.

Key Concept: Angle Sum Property of Quadrilateral

c) $115^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = $360^\circ$.
Let the fourth angle be $x$.
$$ 80^\circ + 95^\circ + 70^\circ + x = 360^\circ$$
$$ 245^\circ + x = 360^\circ$$
$$ x = 115^\circ$$

Key Concept: Properties of a Square

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles. This is true as per Property 4 of a square mentioned in the syllabus. The reason given is that a square is a special type of rectangle where all sides are equal and all angles are $90^\circ$. This is also true as per the definition and properties of a square. However, the reason does not directly explain why the diagonals bisect each other at right angles; it only defines what a square is. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Venn Diagram Representation

c) Square $\subset$ Rectangle
[Solution Description]
The set of all squares is a subset of the set of all rectangles because every square is a rectangle (all angles $90^\circ$ and opposite sides equal), but not all rectangles are squares. Thus, the correct representation is Square $\subset$ Rectangle.

Key Concept: Angles in a Rectangle

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
By definition, all angles in a rectangle are right angles. A right angle measures $90^\circ$. Therefore, each angle in a rectangle is $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of a Rectangle

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that a quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ is always a rectangle, which is true by definition. The reason states that a quadrilateral with diagonals that bisect each other and are equal in length must have all angles equal to $90^\circ$. While this is also true, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion because the assertion is about angles, whereas the reason is about diagonals. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Construction of Parallelograms and Relation to Rectangles

a) 6.24 cm
[Solution Description]
To find the shorter diagonal of the parallelogram, we use the Law of Cosines.
Step 1: Let the sides be $a = 5$ cm and $b = 7$ cm, with the included angle $\theta = 60^\circ$.
Step 2: The shorter diagonal $d_1$ can be calculated using:
$d_1 = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 – 2ab \cos(\theta)}$
Step 3: Substituting the values:
$d_1 = \sqrt{5^2 + 7^2 – 2 \times 5 \times 7 \cos(60^\circ)} = \sqrt{25 + 49 – 70 \times 0.5} = \sqrt{74 – 35} = \sqrt{39} \approx 6.24 \text{ cm}$
Therefore, the length of the shorter diagonal is approximately $6.24$ cm.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

b) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Given three angles: $85^\circ$, $95^\circ$, and $70^\circ$.
Let the fourth angle be $x$.
Therefore, $85^\circ + 95^\circ + 70^\circ + x = 360^\circ$.
Simplify: $250^\circ + x = 360^\circ$.
Subtract $250^\circ$ from both sides to find $x = 110^\circ$.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Angles

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral can indeed be divided into two triangles by drawing one diagonal. The sum of angles in each triangle is $180^\circ$, so the total sum of angles for both triangles is $360^\circ$. Since the angles of the triangles collectively form the angles of the quadrilateral, the sum of the quadrilateral’s angles must also be $360^\circ$. Thus, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and R correctly explains why A is true.

Key Concept: Angles in a Quadrilateral

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The sum of the given angles is calculated as follows:
$70^\circ + 80^\circ + 100^\circ + 110^\circ = 360^\circ$.
Since the total equals $360^\circ$, the quadrilateral is valid, confirming the Assertion (A).
The Reason (R) states the fundamental property that the sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$, which justifies why the given quadrilateral is valid. Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains Assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a quadrilateral

b) Opposite sides are equal
[Solution Description]
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are equal in length. This property is characteristic of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in quadrilateral, properties of triangles

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
To verify the assertion and reason:
1. Assertion (A): Any quadrilateral can indeed be divided into two triangles by drawing one diagonal. This is true as a quadrilateral has four sides and connecting two non-adjacent vertices with a diagonal splits it into two distinct triangles.
2. Reason (R): The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. This is true because when you divide the quadrilateral into two triangles, the sum of angles in each triangle is $180^\circ$. Adding them gives $180^\circ + 180^\circ = 360^\circ$. Thus, the reason correctly explains why the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$.
Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

c) 110°
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in any quadrilateral is $360°$. Given three angles as $80°$, $100°$, and $70°$, let the fourth angle be $x$.
Therefore, $80° + 100° + 70° + x = 360°$.
Adding the known angles: $250° + x = 360°$.
Subtracting $250°$ from both sides: $x = 110°$.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral, properties of diagonals

c) 110°
[Solution Description]
Step 1: The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
Step 2: Given angles A, B, and C are 80°, 100°, and 70° respectively.
Step 3: Calculate the sum of known angles: $80° + 100° + 70° = 250°$.
Step 4: Subtract the sum from 360° to find angle D: $360° – 250° = 110°$.

Key Concept: Angles formed by diagonals in a quadrilateral

c) 360°
[Solution Description]
The sum of angles in the first triangle is $40° + 60° + 80° = 180°$.
The sum of angles in the second triangle is $50° + 70° + 60° = 180°$.
Adding these gives the total sum of angles in the quadrilateral: $180° + 180° = 360°$.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral angles, diagonal properties

c) The fourth angle must be $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Let’s analyze the given quadrilateral PQRS with three right angles (let’s say $\angle P = \angle Q = \angle R = 90^\circ$) and diagonals intersecting at O forming angle POQ = $60^\circ$.
Since sum of angles in any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$, we have:
$\angle P + \angle Q + \angle R + \angle S = 360^\circ$
Substituting known values:
$90^\circ + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
$270^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
Therefore, $\angle S = 90^\circ$.
The information about diagonal intersection angle doesn’t affect the angle sum property. Hence, the fourth angle must also be $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

c) $360^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in any quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$. This can be derived by dividing the quadrilateral into two triangles and adding their angle sums ($180^\circ + 180^\circ = 360^\circ$).

Key Concept: Angles in a Quadrilateral

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that it is impossible to have a quadrilateral with three right angles and one non-right angle. This is true because, as per the Reason, the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral must be $360^\circ$. If three angles are each $90^\circ$, their total would be $270^\circ$, leaving the fourth angle as $90^\circ$ ($360^\circ – 270^\circ = 90^\circ$). Therefore, the fourth angle cannot be anything other than $90^\circ$. Here, the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral construction, angle sum

c) $100^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Using the angle sum property of quadrilaterals:
$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C + \angle D = 360^\circ$
Substituting known values:
$80^\circ + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle D = 360^\circ$
$260^\circ + \angle D = 360^\circ$
Therefore, $\angle D = 100^\circ$
The side length AB = 5 cm is given but doesn’t affect the angle calculation as angle sum is independent of side lengths in this case.

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelograms

c) $115^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary. Given $\angle A = 65^\circ$, $\angle B$ will be $180^\circ – 65^\circ = 115^\circ$. Since $\angle D$ is opposite to $\angle B$, $\angle D = 115^\circ$.

Key Concept: Opposite Angles in Parallelogram

a) $70^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. So, if $\angle A = 70^\circ$, then $\angle C$ will also be $70^\circ$ because they are opposite angles.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rhombus

c) $10$ cm
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at $90^\circ$. So, half-diagonals are $6$ cm and $8$ cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Side length = $\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.

Key Concept: Properties of a Parallelogram

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, by definition, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. The assertion states that the opposite sides are equal and parallel, which is true as per the properties of a parallelogram. The reason correctly defines a parallelogram as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Adjacent Angles in Parallelogram

b) $92^{\circ}$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^{\circ}$. Therefore, $\angle A + \angle D = 180^{\circ}$.
Given:
$\angle A = (3x + 10)^{\circ}$
$\angle D = (2x + 40)^{\circ}$
Set up the equation:
$(3x + 10) + (2x + 40) = 180$
Combine like terms:
$5x + 50 = 180$
Subtract $50$ from both sides:
$5x = 130$
Divide by $5$ on both sides:
$x = 26$
Now find $\angle A$:
$\angle A = 3(26) + 10 = 88^{\circ}$
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, so $\angle B = \angle D$.
Thus, $\angle B = 2(26) + 40 = 92^{\circ}$
The measure of $\angle B$ is $92^{\circ}$.

Key Concept: Adjacent Angles in Parallelogram

c) $120°$
[Solution Description]
Property 3 of parallelograms states that adjacent angles add up to $180°$. So, if one angle is $60°$, the adjacent angle will be $180° – 60° = 120°$.

Key Concept: Congruent Triangles in Parallelogram

c) The opposite sides are equal and parallel.
[Solution Description]
The congruence of triangles $WXY$ and $YZW$ implies certain properties of the parallelogram $WXYZ$.
For triangles $WXY$ and $YZW$ to be congruent, their corresponding sides and angles must be equal. Specifically:
1. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel, so $WX = YZ$ and $XY = WZ$.
2. Diagonally opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, so $\angle WXY = \angle YZW$ and $\angle XYW = \angle ZWY$.
This means the diagonal $WY$ divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles. Additionally, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other but do not necessarily have to be equal in length.
Therefore, the correct property deduced from the given information is that the opposite sides of $WXYZ$ are equal and parallel.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a parallelogram

b) They bisect each other.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other but are not necessarily equal in length. Only in special cases like rectangles or squares, the diagonals are equal. Hence, the correct statement is that the diagonals bisect each other.

Key Concept: Diagonal Properties

b) 10 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are always equal in length. Therefore, if diagonal AC is 10 cm, then diagonal BD must also be 10 cm.

Key Concept: Rectangles as a type of parallelogram

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ and opposite sides parallel and equal, which satisfies the definition of a parallelogram. The reason correctly states that a rectangle has opposite sides parallel and equal. Since both statements are true, and the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true, the correct answer is option a).

Key Concept: Rectangle as a Parallelogram

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A rectangle satisfies the definition of a parallelogram because it has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length (Property 3 of Rectangle). Additionally, the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other (Property 4 of Rectangle), which is also true for any parallelogram. However, the Reason does not explain why a rectangle is a “special” type of parallelogram (i.e., due to its all angles being $90^\circ$). Thus, while both Assertion and Reason are true, the Reason does not fully explain the Assertion.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles

c) All angles are equal to $90^{\circ}$ and diagonals are equal.
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is a parallelogram with all angles equal to $90^{\circ}$. It satisfies all properties of a parallelogram, and additionally, its diagonals are equal in length.

Key Concept: Venn Diagram of Quadrilaterals

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that a square is both a rhombus and a rectangle because it meets the criteria of all three types of quadrilaterals. This is true since a square has all sides equal (rhombus property), all angles equal to $90^\circ$ (rectangle property), and opposite sides parallel (parallelogram property). The Reason explains that in a Venn diagram, squares lie in the intersection of rhombuses and rectangles, which correctly represents their hierarchical relationship. Since a square inherits properties from both rhombuses and rectangles, the Venn diagram must show this overlap, making the Reason the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Key Concept: Special Cases of Parallelograms

c) All its angles are $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is a special parallelogram where all angles are $90^\circ$. While it has all properties of a parallelogram, the defining feature is its right angles. Thus, the correct answer is “All its angles are $90^\circ$.”

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals, Venn Diagram

d) Square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with diagonals that are equal in length is either a rectangle or a square. Additionally, if the diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$, it must be a square because rectangles have equal diagonals but they do not necessarily bisect each other at $90^\circ$. Only squares satisfy both conditions: equal diagonals and perpendicular bisectors.

Key Concept: Venn Diagram: Relationship between squares, rectangles, and rhombuses

d) Nested circles: Square inside both Rectangle and Rhombus, which are inside Parallelogram.
[Solution Description]
A square is both a rectangle (all angles are $90^\circ$) and a rhombus (all sides equal). A rectangle has opposite sides equal and all angles $90^\circ$, while a rhombus has all sides equal but angles not necessarily $90^\circ$. Thus, the set of squares lies within both the sets of rectangles and rhombuses, which are subsets of parallelograms.

Key Concept: Comparison with Square

c) A square has all angles equal to $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A square is a special case of a rhombus where all angles are $90^\circ$. Therefore, the key difference lies in the angle measures.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rhombus

b) They bisect each other at right angles.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles and also bisect the angles of the rhombus. However, they are not necessarily equal in length.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus, Diagonal properties

b) 20 cm
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has diagonals that bisect each other at $90^\circ$. Given $AC = 8$ cm, so $AO = CO = 4$ cm. Given $BD = 6$ cm, so $BO = DO = 3$ cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem in $\triangle AOB$:
$AB = \sqrt{AO^2 + BO^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5$ cm.
Since all sides of a rhombus are equal, perimeter $= 4 \times AB = 4 \times 5 = 20$ cm.

Key Concept: Quadrilaterals with Equal Side Lengths, Properties of Rhombus and Square

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
To analyze this assertion-reason pair, let’s examine the properties of quadrilaterals with equal side lengths:
1. Assertion states that a quadrilateral with all sides equal must be a square. However, from the syllabus, we know that a rhombus also has all sides equal but does not necessarily have all angles as 90\textdegree. Hence, the assertion is false because there are other quadrilaterals (like rhombuses) with equal side lengths that are not squares.
2. Reason states that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90\textdegree. This is true as per Property 4 of a rhombus mentioned in the syllabus.
3. Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, the correct answer corresponds to option d).

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus, Diagonals

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
First, analyze the Assertion: A rhombus has diagonals that are perpendicular bisectors and divide the rhombus into four congruent right-angled triangles. However, unless it is a square, the diagonals are unequal. So, the Assertion is true.
Next, examine the Reason: It states that the diagonals bisect each other at right angles, which is a fundamental property of a rhombus. Hence, the Reason is also true.
Now, check if the Reason explains the Assertion: The fact that diagonals bisect at right angles does not imply they must be unequal (e.g., in a square, they are equal). Therefore, although both statements are true, the Reason does not explain why the diagonals are unequal.
Thus, the correct option is: Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus, Angles in Rhombus

c) $60^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, we know $\angle AOD = 90^\circ$. Given $\angle OAD = 30^\circ$, we can find $\angle ADO$ using the sum of angles in triangle $AOD$:
$\angle OAD + \angle ADO + \angle AOD = 180^\circ \implies 30^\circ + \angle ADO + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \implies \angle ADO = 60^\circ$
The diagonal also bisects the angle, so $\angle ADC = 2 \times \angle ADO = 120^\circ$. Then, since adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary:
$\angle ABC = 180^\circ – \angle ADC = 180^\circ – 120^\circ = 60^\circ$

Key Concept: Rhombus Properties

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that all sides of a rhombus are equal, which is true because one of the defining properties of a rhombus is that all its sides have the same length. The reason correctly explains this property by stating that a quadrilateral with all sides equal is defined as a rhombus. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Adjacent Angles of a Rhombus

c) $180^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Adjacent angles in a rhombus add up to $180^\circ$.

Key Concept: Angle properties, External points

c) 60$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since $XWZB$ is a straight line, $\angle BXW = 180^\circ$. Triangle $AXB$ is equilateral (since $XA = XB$ and $\angle AXB = 60^\circ$). In rhombus $XYZW$, adjacent angles add up to $180^\circ$ and opposite angles are equal. Let $\angle YXW = y$. Then $\angle WXZ = 180^\circ – y$. Also, $\angle AXW = 60^\circ + y$ (exterior angle). But $\angle AXW$ must equal $\angle BXW – \angle BXA = 180^\circ – 60^\circ = 120^\circ$. Thus $60^\circ + y = 120^\circ$ → $y = 60^\circ$.

Key Concept: Construction of Rhombus

c) All sides must be equal.
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has all four sides of equal length. Therefore, for construction, we must ensure that all sides are equal.

Key Concept: Side length, Diagonal relationship

c) 6 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles and divide the rhombus into four right-angled triangles. Let’s denote half of diagonal 1 as $d_1/2 = 4$ cm and half of diagonal 2 as $d_2/2 = x$ cm. Using Pythagoras theorem: $(d_1/2)^2 + (d_2/2)^2 = \text{side}^2$ → $4^2 + x^2 = 5^2$ → $16 + x^2 = 25$ → $x^2 = 9$ → $x = 3$ cm. Thus the full diagonal length is $6$ cm.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at $90^\circ$, which is Property 4 from the syllabus, so it is true. The reason states that a rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides equal in length, which is the definition of a rhombus (Property 1), so it is also true. However, the property of diagonals bisecting at $90^\circ$ does not depend on all sides being equal but is a fundamental geometric property, so the Reason does not explain the Assertion. Thus, both are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Quadrilaterals, Properties of Squares and Rhombuses

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
The properties described here are:
– Diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
– Diagonals bisect each other.
– Diagonals are not equal in length.
From the given conditions, the quadrilateral cannot be a square because squares have equal-length diagonals. It also cannot be a rectangle since rectangles do not necessarily have perpendicular diagonals. However, a rhombus satisfies all the given conditions: its diagonals are perpendicular bisectors but are not equal in length. Therefore, the quadrilateral must be a rhombus.

Key Concept: Parallelograms

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states the definition of a parallelogram, which is correct. The reason states that rectangles and squares are special cases of parallelograms, which is also true. Furthermore, the reason correctly explains why the assertion holds because it provides additional classification information about parallelograms. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Extending Diagonals of Quadrilaterals

b) Square
[Solution Description]
Initially, the square has diagonals that are equal in length and perpendicular bisectors. Extending both diagonals equally by 2 cm on both sides means:
– The new endpoints are symmetrically placed around the original square.
– The distance between any two adjacent new vertices will be equal due to symmetry.
– The angles at the vertices remain 90 degrees because the extensions preserve the perpendicularity of the diagonals.
Thus, the resulting quadrilateral formed by joining the new endpoints is another square, as all sides and angles remain equal and perpendicular.

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

d) Square
[Solution Description]
When the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular and equal in length, the quadrilateral must be a square. In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at $90^{\circ}$ and are equal in length.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Properties, Angle Sum Property

c) $95^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$. Given three angles as $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$, and $85^\circ$, we can find the fourth angle by subtracting the sum of these angles from $360^\circ$.
Calculation: $360^\circ – (90^\circ + 90^\circ + 85^\circ) = 95^\circ$.

Key Concept: Geoboard Activity: Properties of Quadrilaterals

c) Square
[Solution Description]
When two diagonals are equal in length and perpendicular to each other, joining their endpoints forms a square. This is because all sides become equal due to the properties of symmetry and the right angles between the sides.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Properties

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
When two identical equilateral triangles are joined side-by-side, the resulting figure will have four sides of equal length since all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. Additionally, opposite sides will be parallel because the angles at each vertex will be 60°, making the sum of adjacent angles 180°, which ensures parallelism. Therefore, the quadrilateral meets all the properties of a rhombus: all sides equal and opposite sides parallel. Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that a quadrilateral formed by two perpendicular diagonals of equal length is a rectangle. This is true because when diagonals are equal and intersect at $90^\circ$, they form a rectangle as all angles become right angles and opposite sides become equal. The reason states that diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other at $90^\circ$. This is also true as it is a property of rectangles. Further, the reason correctly explains the assertion because the properties mentioned in the reason lead to the conclusion in the assertion.

Key Concept: Kite, Diagonals

b) They bisect each other perpendicularly
[Solution Description]
In a kite ABCD with AB = BC and CD = DA, diagonal BD bisects the other diagonal AC perpendicularly. This means BD divides AC into two equal parts (AO = OC) and forms right angles (90 degrees) with AC. Additionally, BD also bisects the angles ABC and ADC.

Key Concept: Constructing quadrilaterals by joining triangles of equal sides

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion (A) is true because two equilateral triangles of side length 8 cm can indeed be joined along one of their sides to form a quadrilateral (specifically, a rhombus). However, the Reason (R) is false because joining two congruent triangles along their equal sides does not necessarily result in a rectangle; it could also form other types of quadrilaterals such as a rhombus or parallelogram.

Key Concept: Joining Triangles, Kite Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
Consider two scalene triangles ABC and CDA with sides 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm. When joined along the 9 cm side (AC), the quadrilateral ABCD will have AB = CD = 6 cm and BC = DA = 12 cm. This satisfies the definition of a kite ($AB = BC$ is false here; correct condition for kite is $AB = AD$ and $CB = CD$). The assertion incorrectly states the condition for a kite, while the reason provides the correct property. Thus, Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Key Concept: Joining Triangles, Kite Properties

d) All of the above
[Solution Description]
When two equilateral triangles of side 8 cm are joined along one common side, the resulting quadrilateral is a rhombus. A rhombus has all sides equal and opposite angles equal. The diagonals bisect each other at 90 degrees and also bisect the vertex angles. Hence, all the given properties apply.

Key Concept: Trapezium Angles

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
One property of a trapezium states that the sum of angles on the same side of a leg is $180^\circ$. Here, $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$. Given $\angle P = 60^\circ$, we calculate $\angle S = 180^\circ – 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of a Kite

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A kite is defined as a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides equal. One of its properties is that the diagonals intersect at right angles (perpendicular). Therefore, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true.

Key Concept: Kite Properties

c) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The properties of a kite state that the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. Given $\angle ABC = 120^\circ$, its opposite angle $\angle ADC$ will also be $120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Kite and Trapezium combined, Angle calculation

c) 120$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The quadrilateral described is a combination of kite and trapezium properties. As it has two pairs of adjacent sides equal, it must be a kite. But it also has one pair of parallel sides, making it a trapezium. Hence, it is an isosceles trapezium where non-parallel sides are equal. Given one angle as $120^\circ$, the adjacent angle on the same side of the transversal will be $60^\circ$ (since they add up to $180^\circ$). The opposite angles in an isosceles trapezium are supplementary, so the largest angle will be $120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Kite Properties, Congruent Triangles

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
Given that $\Delta AOB \cong \Delta COB$ in the kite ABCD, this implies that the corresponding angles $\angle ABO = \angle CBO$ and $\angle ADO = \angle CDO$ due to congruency. Therefore, the diagonal BD indeed bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. The Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true because congruent triangles ensure equal corresponding angles, which leads to the bisection of the angles by the diagonal BD.

Key Concept: Kite properties, angle bisector

b) $60^\circ$
[Solution Description]
First, since $BD$ bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ABD = 30^\circ$, then $\angle ABC = 60^\circ$ because the angle bisector splits $\angle ABC$ into two equal angles.
Now, in a kite, one pair of opposite angles are equal. Therefore, $\angle ABC = \angle ADC = 60^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Kite

c) The other diagonal can be of any length.
[Solution Description]
Given that in a kite, one diagonal bisects the other perpendicularly. Thus, if one diagonal (BD) is given as 6 cm, it bisects the other diagonal (AC) but does not specify its length. The other diagonal can vary based on the side lengths and angles of the kite.

Key Concept: Classification of Quadrilaterals

a) Every rhombus is a kite, but not every kite is a rhombus.
[Solution Description]
A rhombus is a special case of a kite where all four sides are equal. However, not every kite is a rhombus because a kite only requires two distinct pairs of adjacent sides to be equal.

Key Concept: Kite: Diagonal Properties

b) Only one diagonal bisects the other and they are perpendicular.
[Solution Description]
In a kite, one diagonal bisects the other. Specifically, the diagonal connecting the vertices where the adjacent sides are equal (e.g., $BD$) bisects the other diagonal ($AC$) perpendicularly. Thus, $AO = OC$ and $BD \perp AC$.

Key Concept: Trapezium Angle Property

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
According to the property of trapezium, when one pair of opposite sides is parallel (here $AB \parallel CD$), the sum of the angles on the same side of the transversal is $180^\circ$. Therefore, $\angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$. The reason given is also true as it states the general property of angles formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. Further, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true.

Key Concept: Basic property of trapezium angles

c) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since $PQ || SR$, by the property of trapezium, the sum of angles on the same side of the non-parallel side is $180^\circ$. Therefore, $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$. Given $\angle P = 60^\circ$, we can find $\angle S$ as follows:
$\angle S = 180^\circ – 60^\circ = 120^\circ$

Key Concept: Isosceles trapezium properties

b) $70^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. Therefore, $\angle U = \angle V$. Given that $\angle U = 70^\circ$, it follows that $\angle V$ is also $70^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Kite – Diagonal Bisection

b) $40^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Given that diagonal BD bisects $\angle ABC$, this means it splits $\angle ABC$ into two equal angles. Since $\angle ABC = 80^\circ$, $\angle ABD$ will be half of $\angle ABC$.
Calculation:
$\angle ABD = \frac{\angle ABC}{2} = \frac{80^\circ}{2} = 40^\circ$
Thus, the measure of $\angle ABD$ is $40^\circ$.

Key Concept: Angle Relationships in Trapezium

b) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A property of a trapezium states that the sum of adjacent angles on the same side of the non-parallel sides is $180^\circ$. Thus, $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$. Given $\angle P = 70^\circ$, we can calculate $\angle S$ as follows:
$\angle S = 180^\circ – 70^\circ = 110^\circ$

Key Concept: Kite and Trapezium properties, Diagonals

a) $40$ cm
[Solution Description]
Let the kite be $ABCD$ with diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersecting at $O$.
Given, $AC = 16$ cm and $BD = 12$ cm.
Since diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles and one diagonal is bisected, assume $AO = OC = \frac{16}{2} = 8$ cm, and $BO = OD = \frac{12}{2} = 6$ cm.
Now, using Pythagoras’ theorem in triangles $AOB$ and $BOC$:
For triangle $AOB$, $AB = \sqrt{AO^2 + BO^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.
Similarly, for triangle $BOC$, $BC = \sqrt{BO^2 + CO^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.
For a kite, $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$.
So, the perimeter $P = AB + BC + CD + DA = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40$ cm.
However, looking back at the problem, it’s given that only one diagonal is bisected (which is $AC$ in our assumption). But in a kite, both diagonals have specific properties: one is bisected ($AC$) and the other is perpendicularly bisected ($BD$).
But according to the problem statement, the perimeter calculation remains consistent as $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$ due to the kite’s properties.

Key Concept: Diagonal Properties of a Kite

b) $4\,cm$
[Solution Description]
According to the properties of a kite, the diagonal $BD$ bisects the diagonal $AC$ at right angles. Hence, $AO = OC$. Given $AO = 4\,cm$, it follows that $OC = 4\,cm$.
