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: Properties of a 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 square are equal in length and bisect each other at 90°, which is true because it is one of the properties of a square. The reason states that a square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all angles equal to 90°, which is also true and explains why the diagonals have these properties. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.

Key Concept: Rectangles, Squares, Properties

c) Both I and II
[Solution Description]
Statement I: A quadrilateral with all angles $90^\circ$ must have opposite sides equal and parallel, making it a rectangle. This statement is correct because these are the defining properties of a rectangle.
Statement II: A quadrilateral with diagonals that are equal and bisect each other at $90^\circ$ could be either a square or a rhombus (if sides are not equal). However, since the diagonals are equal, it must be a square (as rhombuses do not necessarily have equal diagonals unless they are squares). Therefore, this statement is also correct.
Hence, both statements I and II are correct.

Key Concept: Diagonal properties

c) Square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral whose diagonals are equal and bisect each other at 90° is a square. Rectangles also have equal diagonals but do not necessarily bisect at 90° unless they are squares.

Key Concept: Properties of Squares

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 $90^\circ$, which is true because the diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors. The reason states that the diagonals are equal in length and bisect the angles, which is also true as it’s a property of squares. However, the reason does not correctly explain why the diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$ (it only mentions their equality and angle bisection). Thus, both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals and Angles

b) $45^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles, forming four congruent right-angled triangles. In triangle $AOB$, $\angle AOB = 90^\circ$ and the diagonals also bisect the angles of the square. Thus, $\angle OAB$ is half of $\angle DAB$ since the diagonal $AC$ bisects $\angle DAB$. Since all angles in a square are $90^\circ$, $\angle DAB = 90^\circ$ and $\angle OAB = 45^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a rectangle

c) It must be a rectangle.
[Solution Description]
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other, then it must be a rectangle because these properties ensure that the quadrilateral has all its angles as 90° and opposite sides equal.

Key Concept: Square properties

c) All its sides are equal.
[Solution Description]
A square has all the properties of a rectangle (right angles, equal opposite sides, and equal diagonals that bisect each other), but additionally, all its sides are equal, and its diagonals are perpendicular and bisect the angles.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rhombus

c) The diagonals bisect each other.
[Solution Description]
Both squares and rhombuses have diagonals that bisect each other. However, while squares also have equal-length diagonals, rhombuses do not necessarily have this property unless they are squares themselves.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rectangle and Square, Multi-step Solution

c) 26
[Solution Description]
Step 1: In a rectangle, diagonals are equal and bisect each other. So, AO = OC and BO = OD. Since AO = BO, we set $3x + 1 = 5x – 7$.
Step 2: Solve for x: subtract 3x from both sides to get $1 = 2x – 7$. Add 7 to both sides: $8 = 2x$. Divide by 2: $x = 4$.
Step 3: Substitute x back into AO: $AO = 3(4) + 1 = 13$.
Step 4: Diagonal AC is twice AO (since AO = OC): $AC = 2 \times 13 = 26$.

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: 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: Angles between diagonals of a rectangle

a) $50^\circ, 50^\circ, 130^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other and form two pairs of equal angles. Given one angle as $x = 50^\circ$, the other angles will be $50^\circ$, $180^\circ – 50^\circ = 130^\circ$, and $130^\circ$ as they must add up to $360^\circ$ in total.

Key Concept: Quadrilaterals, Diagonals of a Rectangle and Square

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that if diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at $90^\circ$, the quadrilateral must be a rhombus or square. This is true because a rhombus and square have diagonals intersecting at right angles, while rectangles without equal adjacent sides (non-squares) do not necessarily meet this condition. However, the reason states that a quadrilateral with diagonals bisecting each other at $90^\circ$ has all sides equal, which is only true for rhombuses and squares but not for general quadrilaterals. Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is false because it incorrectly generalizes the property to all quadrilaterals instead of specific ones like rhombuses and squares.

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

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are always equal in length. This is a proven property of rectangles. The diagonals also bisect each other, but this property alone does not explain why they are equal in length. Both statements are true, but the Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion.

Key Concept: Properties of square diagonals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$. Therefore, the angle between the diagonals is $90^\circ$.

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: 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: Properties of Rectangles

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
From the syllabus, we know that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other, then it must be a rectangle. So, the assertion (A) is true. However, the reason (R) states that the diagonals bisect at $90^\circ$, which is only true for squares, not all rectangles. Therefore, while both statements are individually correct, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion.

Key Concept: Rectangle and Square Properties, Diagonal Congruence

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
For a quadrilateral to be a square, its diagonals must satisfy three conditions: 1) They must be of equal length, 2) They must bisect each other, and 3) They must intersect at right angles ($90^\circ$). The Assertion states that joining equal-length strips at their midpoints with a $90^\circ$ angle forms a square, which is correct because this setup ensures all three conditions are met. The Reason correctly identifies these properties as sufficient for a quadrilateral to be a square. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason explains Assertion.

Key Concept: Definition of a Rectangle

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that a quadrilateral with diagonals equal in length and bisecting each other is a rectangle, which aligns with the alternative definition of a rectangle mentioned in the syllabus. The reason correctly states that in a rectangle, the diagonals are equal and bisect each other. Moreover, the reason provides the justification for why such a quadrilateral must be a rectangle, making it the correct explanation of the assertion.

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: 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

c) The diagonals are not equal in length.
[Solution Description]
Properties of a square:
1. All sides are equal.
2. All angles are $90^\circ$.
3. Diagonals are equal, bisect each other at $90^\circ$, and also bisect the angles.
The statement “The diagonals are not equal in length” is false for a square.

Key Concept: Rectangle Construction

d) Connect sticks at midpoints and join ends with thread
[Solution Description]
To construct a right angle using two equal-length sticks and thread:
1) Join the sticks at their midpoints (5 cm from either end) forming an X-shape.
2) Use the thread to connect all four ends of the sticks sequentially – this forms a quadrilateral.
3) Since diagonals are equal and bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a rectangle (Property 4).
4) All angles in a rectangle are $90°$, so the angle formed by adjacent sides is a right angle.
Key points:
– Equal-length sticks act as diagonals.
– Bisecting them ensures rectangle formation.
– Rectangle guarantees right angles at vertices.

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: Square and Rectangle Relationship

b) Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square
[Solution Description]
A square is a special type of rectangle where all four sides are of equal length. Therefore, every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square because rectangles do not necessarily have all sides equal.

Key Concept: Properties of a Rectangle

c) They are equal in length and bisect each other
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle have two key properties: they are equal in length and bisect each other. This means they divide each other into two equal parts at the point of intersection.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles and Squares

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that every square is a rectangle. This is true because a square satisfies all the properties of a rectangle: all angles are $90^\circ$, opposite sides are equal and parallel, and diagonals bisect each other.
The reason given is that in a square, all angles are $90^\circ$ and opposite sides are equal and parallel. This is also true as it aligns with the properties of both squares and rectangles. However, while the reason correctly describes properties of a square, it does not explicitly link these properties to why a square is a rectangle. The key observation from the syllabus mentions this relationship directly (“Every square is a rectangle”), but the reason does not provide an explanation for the assertion; it merely lists properties. Hence, both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is NOT the correct explanation of the assertion.

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: Quadrilateral Angle Sum, Algebraic Equation

c) $76^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Let angle B be $x$. Then:
– Angle A = $2x$,
– Angle C = $x + 20^\circ$,
– Angle D = $x – 40^\circ$.
The sum of all angles is $360^\circ$, so:
$2x + x + (x + 20^\circ) + (x – 40^\circ) = 360^\circ$.
Combine like terms: $5x – 20^\circ = 360^\circ$.
Add $20^\circ$ to both sides: $5x = 380^\circ$.
Divide by 5: $x = 76^\circ$.
Therefore, angle B is $76^\circ$.

Key Concept: Opposite angles in a parallelogram

c) $20^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. Hence, $\angle A = \angle C$.
So, $3x + 10^\circ = 5x – 30^\circ$.
Subtract $3x$ from both sides: $10^\circ = 2x – 30^\circ$.
Add $30^\circ$ to both sides: $40^\circ = 2x$.
Divide by 2: $x = 20^\circ$.

Key Concept: Parallelogram angles

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^\circ$.
Given $\angle P = 60^\circ$, then $\angle Q = 180^\circ – 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.

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: 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: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
To verify the assertion, let’s calculate the fourth angle:
Sum of given angles = $80° + 100° + 90° = 270°$.
Since the total sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360°$, the fourth angle must be $360° – 270° = 90°$. This matches the assertion.
The reason states that the sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral is $360°$, which is true and correctly explains why the fourth angle must be $90°$ in this case.
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: Rectangle properties

d) Rectangle
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral with all four angles equal to $90^\circ$, opposite sides equal, and opposite sides parallel.

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: 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: 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: Constructing quadrilaterals

c) All four angles must be right angles if three are already right angles.
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral cannot have three right angles and one non-right angle because the sum of its angles must be $360^\circ$. Hence, if three angles are $90^\circ$, the fourth must also be $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Special Cases: Rhombus, Rectangle, Square

c) All sides are equal
[Solution Description] A rhombus has all sides equal, but its angles are not necessarily $90^\circ$. A rectangle has all angles equal to $90^\circ$, but its sides are not necessarily equal. Therefore, the property that applies to all rhombuses but not necessarily to all rectangles is “All sides are equal”.

Key Concept: Angle Sum in Quadrilaterals

c) $115^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Given $\angle P + \angle Q + \angle R + \angle S = 360^\circ$. Substituting the values:
$80^\circ + 95^\circ + 70^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
$245^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
$\angle S = 360^\circ – 245^\circ = 115^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelograms, Supplementary Angles

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description] In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, which means they add up to $180^\circ$. Given $\angle A = 60^\circ$, we can find $\angle B$ using the property:
$\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ \implies 60^\circ + \angle B = 180^\circ \implies \angle B = 120^\circ$

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: 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 a parallelogram

c) $\Delta ABD \cong \Delta BDC$
[Solution Description]
In parallelogram ABCD, opposite sides are equal ($AB = CD$ and $AD = CB$). By the SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence condition, $\Delta ABD \cong \Delta CDB$ because $AB = CD$, $AD = CB$, and the common side BD is equal to itself. Hence, these two triangles are congruent.

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelogram

b) $5\,cm$
[Solution Description]
According to Property 1 of parallelograms, opposite sides are equal. Hence, if $AB = 5\,cm$, then $CD$ must also be equal to $5\,cm$.

Key Concept: Opposite sides and diagonals of parallelogram

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
Let us verify the assertion using the properties of parallelograms. Consider a parallelogram with adjacent sides $a$ and $b$. Let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be its diagonals. By the property of parallelograms, the diagonals bisect each other. Using the law of cosines in one of the triangles formed by the diagonals, we get:
For triangle formed by half-diagonals and side $a$:
$\left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^2 – 2 \cdot \frac{d_1}{2} \cdot \frac{d_2}{2} \cos(\theta) = a^2$
Similarly for side $b$:
$\left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^2 – 2 \cdot \frac{d_1}{2} \cdot \frac{d_2}{2} \cos(180^\circ – \theta) = b^2$
Adding these two equations and simplifying:
$2\left(\frac{d_1^2}{4} + \frac{d_2^2}{4}\right) + \frac{d_1 d_2 \cos(\theta)}{2} – \frac{d_1 d_2 \cos(\theta)}{2} = a^2 + b^2$
Which simplifies to:
$\frac{d_1^2 + d_2^2}{2} = a^2 + b^2 \implies d_1^2 + d_2^2 = 2(a^2 + b^2)$
Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains Assertion.

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: Diagonals, Angles

b) 35°
[Solution Description]
Step 1: Draw rectangle $PQRS$ with diagonals $PR$ and $QS$ intersecting at $O$.
Step 2: In rectangles, diagonals are equal and bisect each other. Thus, $OP = OR = OQ = OS$.
Step 3: Triangle $POS$ has sides $OP = OS$, making it an isosceles triangle.
Step 4: Given $\angle POS = 70°$, the remaining angles in $\triangle POS$ must sum to $110°$. Since $OP = OS$, $\angle PSO = \angle OPS = 55°$ each.
Step 5: Now, $\angle OSR = 90° – \angle PSO = 35°$ because $PSR$ is a right angle ($90°$) in the rectangle.

Key Concept: Classification of Quadrilaterals

c) Every rectangle is a parallelogram, but not vice versa.
[Solution Description]
Every rectangle is a parallelogram since it has opposite sides parallel and equal. However, not every parallelogram is a rectangle because parallelograms do not necessarily have all angles equal to $90^{\circ}$.

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: Angle Properties in Rhombus

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary (add up to $180^\circ$). Given $\angle A = 60^\circ$, we can find $\angle B$ using the property:
$\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ$
$60^\circ + \angle B = 180^\circ$
$\angle B = 180^\circ – 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.
The opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, so $\angle D = \angle B = 120^\circ$.

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: 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: Venn Diagram, Classification

c) Every square is a rhombus.
[Solution Description]
A square is a special type of rhombus where all angles are $90^\circ$. However, not all rhombuses are squares because a rhombus does not require all angles to be $90^\circ$. Therefore, every square is a rhombus, but not every rhombus is a square.

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 a Rhombus

a) All sides are equal
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has all sides equal, opposite sides parallel, adjacent angles summing to $180^\circ$, and diagonals that bisect each other. From Property 1, we know all sides are equal.

Key Concept: Adjacent angles, Opposite angles

c) $130^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, adjacent angles add up to $180^\circ$. If one angle is $50^\circ$, then the adjacent angle will be $180^\circ – 50^\circ = 130^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus, Angle Relationships

c) $180^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, so $\angle PQR = \angle PSR = 110^\circ$. Adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary, so $\angle QPS = 180^\circ – \angle PQR = 70^\circ$. Therefore, the sum is:
$\angle QPS + \angle RSP = 70^\circ + 110^\circ = 180^\circ$

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rhombus, Right Triangles

b) 40 cm
[Solution Description]
All sides of a rhombus are equal, so the perimeter is simply 4 times the side length. Given the side length is 10 cm:
$\text{Perimeter} = 4 \times 10\,\text{cm} = 40\,\text{cm}$
Note that the information about the diagonal is irrelevant for calculating the perimeter.

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: Properties of a Rhombus

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
First, let’s examine Assertion (A): “The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.” This is true because one of the properties of a rhombus states that its diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$.
Next, let’s check Reason (R): “In a rhombus, the adjacent angles add up to $180^\circ$ and the opposite angles are equal.” This is also true as it is another property of a rhombus mentioned in the syllabus.
However, while both Assertion and Reason are true, they describe different properties of a rhombus. The fact that adjacent angles sum to $180^\circ$ and opposite angles are equal does not directly explain why the diagonals bisect at right angles. These are separate properties.
Therefore, both statements are correct, but the reason does not explain the assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rhombus

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Property 4 states that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles ($90^\circ$). Therefore, the angle between the diagonals is $90^\circ$.

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: Opposite angles, Diagonal properties

b) 60
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$ and also bisect the angles. So $\angle QPR = 2 \times \angle QPO = 60^\circ$. Since all sides are equal, triangle $PQR$ is isosceles with $PQ = QR$. Therefore, $\angle PQR = 180^\circ – 2(30^\circ) = 120^\circ$. The diagonals intersect at right angles, so in triangle $ROQ$, $\angle ROQ = 180^\circ – 90^\circ – 30^\circ = 60^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonal Properties

c) They intersect at $90^\circ$.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles ($90^\circ$) and also bisect the angles of the rhombus. Thus, the correct statement is that they intersect at $90^\circ$.

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: Quadrilateral Transformation

a) Kite

[Solution Description]

Extending one diagonal changes the property of equal diagonals. Now, the figure has diagonals that are perpendicular but not equal, which defines a kite.

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that a quadrilateral with diagonals intersecting at right angles and equal in length is a square. This is true because such properties are unique to squares among quadrilaterals. However, the reason claims that a quadrilateral with all sides equal and diagonals equal in length must be a rectangle. This is false because rhombuses also have all sides equal, but their diagonals are not necessarily equal unless they are squares.
Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.

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: Geoboard Activity, Quadrilateral Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that such a quadrilateral must be a square, but the reason only guarantees it is a rectangle (as per syllabus observations). For it to be a square, additional conditions (all sides equal) are needed. Thus, the assertion is false, but the reason is true as it correctly describes properties leading to a rectangle.

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: Quadrilateral Transformation

b) Kite
[Solution Description]
When one diagonal of a square is extended equally on both sides, the angles between the sides change, but the adjacent sides remain equal. This results in a kite, as two pairs of adjacent sides are equal, but not all four sides.

Key Concept: Constructing quadrilaterals using scalene triangles

d) Parallelogram
[Solution Description]
When two identical scalene triangles (with sides 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm) are joined along their 6 cm sides, the resulting quadrilateral will have sides measuring 9 cm, 12 cm, 12 cm, and 9 cm. Since both pairs of opposite sides are equal, it forms a parallelogram.

Key Concept: Construction of quadrilaterals using triangles

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
When two equilateral triangles are joined along a common side, the resulting quadrilateral will have all four sides equal because each side of the quadrilateral is either a side of the original equilateral triangle or the newly formed side from joining. Since an equilateral triangle has all three sides equal, this property ensures that all sides of the quadrilateral are equal. Moreover, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral will be equal due to the symmetry of the equilateral triangles. Therefore, the quadrilateral formed is a rhombus as it satisfies the conditions mentioned in the Reason. Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains the Assertion.

Key Concept: Constructing Quadrilaterals

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
When two equilateral triangles are joined along a common side, all sides of the resulting quadrilateral will be equal (8 cm). Also, since each angle of an equilateral triangle is $60^\circ$, the angles at the vertices where the triangles are joined will add up to $120^\circ$. The other two angles remain $60^\circ$ each. The quadrilateral formed is a rhombus but not a square because its angles are not $90^\circ$.

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: 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: 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: 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: Trapezium angles, Isosceles trapezium properties

c) 80$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the angles adjacent to each base are equal. Thus, $\angle P = \angle Q = 100^\circ$. Since the sum of angles on the same side of a transversal in a trapezium is $180^\circ$, we have $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$. Substituting $\angle P = 100^\circ$, we get $\angle S = 80^\circ$.

Key Concept: Kite Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a kite bisect each other at right angles. According to the properties of a kite, one diagonal bisects the other and is perpendicular to it, but only one diagonal gets bisected (not both). Hence, the assertion is false.
The reason states that a kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal, which is true as per the definition of a kite. Therefore, the assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Key Concept: Relationship Between Kite and Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Congruency in Kite

c) Both sides and angles are equal.
[Solution Description]
In kite ABCD, diagonal BD bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. Hence, $\angle ABO = \angle CBO$. Also, $AB = BC$ by definition. Since BD is common to both $\Delta AOB$ and $\Delta COB$, they are congruent by SAS (Side-Angle-Side) rule. Therefore, corresponding parts like $AO = OC$ and $\angle AOB = \angle COB$ (both right angles).

Key Concept: Kite diagonals, congruence

b) $10$ cm[Solution Description]The area of a kite is given by half the product of its diagonals. Here, $PR = PO + RO = 5 + 5 = 10$ cm and the area is 50 cm\textsuperscript{2}.
Using the formula: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times PR \times QS$.
So, $50 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times QS \implies 100 = 10 \times QS \implies QS = 10$ cm.

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: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

c) $20^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Let the fourth angle be $x$. Then:
$105^\circ + 135^\circ + 100^\circ + x = 360^\circ$
Simplifying:
$105 + 135 = 240^\circ$
$240 + 100 = 340^\circ$
$x = 360^\circ – 340^\circ = 20^\circ$
So, the fourth angle is $20^\circ$.

Key Concept: Isosceles Trapezium Property

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
An isosceles trapezium has two parallel sides (UV$\parallel$XW) and two non-parallel sides (UX = VW). According to Property 2 of the syllabus, in an isosceles trapezium, angles opposite to equal sides are equal ($\angle$U = $\angle$V). This equality arises because the trapezium can be divided into congruent triangles (e.g., $\triangle UXY \cong \triangle VWZ$), ensuring the base angles ($\angle$U and $\angle$V) are equal. The Reason correctly states the defining property of an isosceles trapezium (equal non-parallel sides), which directly leads to the Assertion.

Key Concept: Kite diagonals, Congruency

b) 6 cm
[Solution Description]
Diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles, bisecting one diagonal. Here, PR is bisected by QS, so PO = OR = 4 cm. Using Pythagoras’ theorem in $\triangle$PQO: $5^2 = 4^2 + QO^2 \Rightarrow QO = 3$ cm. Thus, full diagonal QS = 2 $\times$ QO = 6 cm.

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: Properties of Isosceles Trapezium – Angles

b) $115^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. Let these angles be $65^\circ$ each. The sum of all angles in any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Let the remaining two angles be $x$ each since they must also be equal.
Calculation:
$65^\circ + 65^\circ + x + x = 360^\circ \implies 130^\circ + 2x = 360^\circ \implies 2x = 230^\circ \implies x = 115^\circ$
Thus, each of the other two angles measures $115^\circ$.

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 $OC = 4\,cm$.

Key Concept: Trapezium properties, Angle relationships

b) $23.75$
[Solution Description]
Recall that in an isosceles trapezium, the angles adjacent to each non-parallel side are equal.
So, $\angle P = \angle Q$ and $\angle S = \angle R$.
Also, since $PQ \parallel SR$, the sum of consecutive angles on the same side of the legs is $180^\circ$.
So, $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$.
Given $\angle P = (3x + 10)^\circ$ and $\angle S = (5x – 20)^\circ$.
Therefore, $(3x + 10) + (5x – 20) = 180$.
Simplifying, $8x – 10 = 180$.
Then, $8x = 190$.
So, $x = \frac{190}{8} = 23.75$.
