Question 1:
The angles of quadrilateral are in the ratio 3: 5: 9: 13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.Answer:
Let the common ratio between the angles be x. Therefore, the angles will be 3x, 5x, 9x, and 13x respectively.As the sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360º,
∴ 3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360º
30x = 360º
x = 12º
Hence, the angles are
3x = 3 × 12 = 36º
5x = 5 × 12 = 60º
9x = 9 × 12 = 108º
13x = 13 × 12 = 156º

Question 2:
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then show that it is a rectangle.Answer:
Let ABCD be a parallelogram. To show that ABCD is a rectangle, we have to prove that one of its interior angles is 90º.
In ΔABC and ΔDCB,
AB = DC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
BC = BC (Common)
AC = DB (Given)
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔDCB (By SSS Congruence rule)
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠DCB
It is known that the sum of the measures of angles on the same side of transversal is 180º.
∠ABC + ∠DCB = 180º (AB || CD)
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ABC = 180º
⇒ 2∠ABC = 180º
⇒ ∠ABC = 90º
Since ABCD is a parallelogram and one of its interior angles is 90º, ABCD is a rectangle.
Q 3, Ex 8.1, Page No 146, Quadrilaterals, NCERT Class 9th Mathematics
Question 3:
Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles, then it is a rhombus.Answer:
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral, whose diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at right angle i.e., OA = OC, OB = OD, and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠AOD = 90º. To prove ABCD a rhombus, we have to prove ABCD is a parallelogram and all the sides of ABCD are equal.
In ΔAOD and ΔCOD,
OA = OC (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOD = ∠COD (Given)
OD = OD (Common)
∴ ΔAOD ≅ ΔCOD (By SAS congruence rule)
∴ AD = CD (1)
Similarly, it can be proved that
AD = AB and CD = BC (2)
From equations (1) and (2),
AB = BC = CD = AD
Since opposite sides of quadrilateral ABCD are equal, it can be said that ABCD is a parallelogram. Since all sides of a parallelogram ABCD are equal, it can be said that ABCD is a rhombus.
Q 4, Ex 8.1, Page No 146, Quadrilaterals, Maths Class 9th Maths
Question 4:
Show that the diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles.Answer:
Let ABCD be a square. Let the diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at a point O. To prove that the diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles, we have to prove AC = BD, OA = OC, OB = OD, and ∠AOB = 90º.
In ΔABC and ΔDCB,
AB = DC (Sides of a square are equal to each other)
∠ABC = ∠DCB (All interior angles are of 90
)BC = CB (Common side)
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔDCB (By SAS congruency)
∴ AC = DB (By CPCT)
Hence, the diagonals of a square are equal in length.
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite angles)
∠ABO = ∠CDO (Alternate interior angles)
AB = CD (Sides of a square are always equal)
∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD (By AAS congruence rule)
∴ AO = CO and OB = OD (By CPCT)
Hence, the diagonals of a square bisect each other.
In ΔAOB and ΔCOB,
As we had proved that diagonals bisect each other, therefore,
AO = CO
AB = CB (Sides of a square are equal)
BO = BO (Common)
∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB (By SSS congruency)
∴ ∠AOB = ∠COB (By CPCT)
However, ∠AOB + ∠COB = 180º (Linear pair)
2∠AOB = 180º
∠AOB = 90º
Hence, the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles.
Q 5, Ex 8.1, Page No 146, Quadrilaterals, Class 9th Mathematics
Question 5:
Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other at right angles, then it is a square.Answer:
Let us consider a quadrilateral ABCD in which the diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O. It is given that the diagonals of ABCD are equal and bisect each other at right angles. Therefore, AC = BD, OA = OC, OB = OD, and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠AOD = 90º. To prove ABCD is a square, we have to prove that ABCD is a parallelogram, AB = BC = CD = AD, and one of its interior angles is 90º.
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
AO = CO (Diagonals bisect each other)
OB = OD (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD (SAS congruence rule)
∴ AB = CD (By CPCT) … (1)
And, ∠OAB = ∠OCD (By CPCT)
However, these are alternate interior angles for line AB and CD and alternate interior angles are equal to each other only when the two lines are parallel.
∴ AB || CD … (2)
From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
ABCD is a parallelogram.
In ΔAOD and ΔCOD,
AO = CO (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOD = ∠COD (Given that each is 90º)
OD = OD (Common)
∴ ΔAOD ≅ ΔCOD (SAS congruence rule)
∴ AD = DC … (3)
However, AD = BC and AB = CD (Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
∴ AB = BC = CD = DA
Therefore, all the sides of quadrilateral ABCD are equal to each other.
In ΔADC and ΔBCD,
AD = BC (Already proved)
AC = BD (Given)
DC = CD (Common)
∴ ΔADC ≅ ΔBCD (SSS Congruence rule)
∴ ∠ADC = ∠BCD (By CPCT)
However, ∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180° (Co-interior angles)
⇒ ∠ADC + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ 2∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 90°
One of the interior angles of quadrilateral ABCD is a right angle.
Thus, we have obtained that ABCD is a parallelogram, AB = BC = CD = AD and one of its interior angles is 90º. Therefore, ABCD is a square.
Q 6, Ex 8.1, Page No 146, Quadrilaterals, Class 9th Maths
Question 6:
Diagonal AC of a parallelogram ABCD bisects ∠A (see the given figure). Show that(i) It bisects ∠C also,
(ii) ABCD is a rhombus.
Answer:
(i) ABCD is a parallelogram.∴ ∠DAC = ∠BCA (Alternate interior angles) … (1)
And, ∠BAC = ∠DCA (Alternate interior angles) … (2)
However, it is given that AC bisects ∠A.
∴ ∠DAC = ∠BAC … (3)
From equations (1), (2), and (3), we obtain
∠DAC = ∠BCA = ∠BAC = ∠DCA … (4)
⇒ ∠DCA = ∠BCA
Hence, AC bisects ∠C.
(ii)From equation (4), we obtain
∠DAC = ∠DCA
∴ DA = DC (Side opposite to equal angles are equal)
However, DA = BC and AB = CD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
∴ AB = BC = CD = DA
Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.
Q 7, Ex 8.1, Page No 146, Quadrilaterals, NCERT Maths Solutions Class 9th
Question 7:
ABCD is a rhombus. Show that diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C and diagonal BD bisects ∠B as well as ∠D.Answer:
Let us join AC.
In ΔABC,
BC = AB (Sides of a rhombus are equal to each other)
∴ ∠1 = ∠2 (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)
However, ∠1 = ∠3 (Alternate interior angles for parallel lines AB and CD)
⇒ ∠2 = ∠3
Therefore, AC bisects ∠C.
Also, ∠2 = ∠4 (Alternate interior angles for || lines BC and DA)
⇒ ∠1 = ∠4
Therefore, AC bisects ∠A.
Similarly, it can be proved that BD bisects ∠B and ∠D as well.
Q 8, Ex 8.1, Page No 146, Quadrilaterals, NCERT Maths Class 9th
Question 8:
ABCD is a rectangle in which diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C. Show that:(i) ABCD is a square (ii) diagonal BD bisects ∠B as well as ∠D.
Answer:
(i) It is given that ABCD is a rectangle.
∴∠A = ∠C
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \angle \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} \angle \mathrm{C}$
$\Rightarrow \angle \mathrm{DAC}=\angle \mathrm{DCA}$ (AC bisects $\angle \mathrm{A}$ and $\angle \mathrm{C}$)
CD = DA (Sides opposite to equal angles are also equal)
However, DA = BC and AB = CD (Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal)
∴ AB = BC = CD = DA
ABCD is a rectangle and all of its sides are equal.
Hence, ABCD is a square.
(ii) Let us join BD.
In ΔBCD,
BC = CD (Sides of a square are equal to each other)
∠CDB = ∠CBD (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
However, ∠CDB = ∠ABD (Alternate interior angles for AB || CD)
∴ ∠CBD = ∠ABD
⇒ BD bisects $\angle$B.
Also, ∠CBD = ∠ADB (Alternate interior angles for BC || AD)
⇒ ∠CDB = ∠ABD
∴ BD bisects ∠D.

Question 9:
In parallelogram ABCD, two points P and Q are taken on diagonal BD such that DP = BQ (see the given figure).
Show that:
(i) ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB
(ii) AP = CQ
(iii) ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD
(iv) AQ = CP
(v) APCQ is a parallelogram
Answer:
(i) In ΔAPD and ΔCQB,∠ADP = ∠CBQ (Alternate interior angles for BC || AD)
AD = CB (Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
DP = BQ (Given)
∴ ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB (Using SAS congruence rule)
(ii) As we had observed that ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB,
∴ AP = CQ (CPCT)
(iii) In ΔAQB and ΔCPD,
∠ABQ = ∠CDP (Alternate interior angles for AB || CD)
AB = CD (Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
BQ = DP (Given)
∴ ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD (Using SAS congruence rule)
(iv) As we had observed that ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD,
∴ AQ = CP (CPCT)
(v) From the result obtained in (ii) and (iv),
AQ = CP and
AP = CQ
Since opposite sides in quadrilateral APCQ are equal to each other, APCQ is a parallelogram.
Q 10, Ex 8.1, Page No 147, Quadrilaterals, Maths Class CBSE Class 9th
Question 10:
ABCD is a parallelogram and AP and CQ are perpendiculars from vertices A and C on diagonal BD (See the given figure). Show that
(i) ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD
(ii) AP = CQ
Answer:
(i) In ΔAPB and ΔCQD,∠APB = ∠CQD (Each 90°)
AB = CD (Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
∠ABP = ∠CDQ (Alternate interior angles for AB || CD)
∴ ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD (By AAS congruency)
(ii) By using the above result
ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD, we obtain
AP = CQ (By CPCT)
Q 11, Ex 8.1, Page No 147, Quadrilaterals, Class 9th Mathematics
Question 11:
In ΔABC and ΔDEF, AB = DE, AB || DE, BC = EF and BC || EF. Vertices A, B and C are joined to vertices D, E and F respectively (see the given figure). Show that
(i) Quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram
(ii) Quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram
(iii) AD || CF and AD = CF
(iv) Quadrilateral ACFD is a parallelogram
(v) AC = DF
(vi) ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF.
Answer:
(i) It is given that AB = DE and AB || DE.If two opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal and parallel to each other, then it will be a parallelogram.
Therefore, quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram.
(ii) Again, BC = EF and BC || EF
Therefore, quadrilateral BCEF is a parallelogram.
(iii) As we had observed that ABED and BEFC are parallelograms, therefore
AD = BE and AD || BE
(Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel)
And, BE = CF and BE || CF
(Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel)
∴ AD = CF and AD || CF
(iv) As we had observed that one pair of opposite sides (AD and CF) of quadrilateral ACFD are equal and parallel to each other, therefore, it is a parallelogram.
(v) As ACFD is a parallelogram, therefore, the pair of opposite sides will be equal and parallel to each other.
∴ AC || DF and AC = DF
(vi) ΔABC and ΔDEF,
AB = DE (Given)
BC = EF (Given)
AC = DF (ACFD is a parallelogram)
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF (By SSS congruence rule)
Q 12, Ex. 8.1, Page No 147, Quadrilaterals - NCERT Class 9th Maths Solutions
Question 12:
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || CD and AD = BC (see the given figure). Show that
(i) ∠A = ∠B
(ii) ∠C = ∠D
(iii) ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD
(iv) diagonal AC = diagonal BD
[Hint: Extend AB and draw a line through C parallel to DA intersecting AB produced at E.]
Answer:
Let us extend AB. Then, draw a line through C, which is parallel to AD, intersecting AE at point E. It is clear that AECD is a parallelogram.(i) AD = CE (Opposite sides of parallelogram AECD)
However, AD = BC (Given)
Therefore, BC = CE
∠CEB = ∠CBE (Angle opposite to equal sides are also equal)
Consider parallel lines AD and CE. AE is the transversal line for them.
∠A + ∠CEB = 180º (Angles on the same side of transversal)
∠A + ∠CBE = 180º (Using the relation∠CEB = ∠CBE) … (1)
However, ∠B + ∠CBE = 180º (Linear pair angles) … (2)
From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
∠A = ∠B
(ii) AB || CD
∠A + ∠D = 180º (Angles on the same side of the transversal)
Also, ∠C + ∠B = 180° (Angles on the same side of the transversal)
∴ ∠A + ∠D = ∠C + ∠B
However, ∠A = ∠B [Using the result obtained in (i)]
∴ ∠C = ∠D
(iii) In ΔABC and ΔBAD,
AB = BA (Common side)
BC = AD (Given)
∠B = ∠A (Proved before)
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD (SAS congruence rule)
(iv) We had observed that,
ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD
∴ AC = BD (By CPCT)
