2.
In rhombus ABCD,
AO = OP + PA = 2 + 2 ⇒ AO = 4
and OB = OQ + QB = 2 + 1 ⇒ OB = 3
In ΔOAB,
(AB)2 =(OA)2 + (OB)2
[by Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ (AB)2 =(4)2 + (3)2 = 25
⇒ AB=5
Since, AB is diameter of semi-circle.
∴ Radius = \(\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \)=2.5
Hence, radius of the semi-circle is 2.5. The value depict here is participation unity and creativity.
3.
Let ABGD is a rhombus

Then, BD = 8 cm, AC =15 cm
and AB = BG = CD = DA
We know that, in a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
So, DO = OB and AO = OC
∴ DO =4 cm and OC = 7.5 cm
Now, we see that a /lDOC is formed such that
ㄥDOC = 90°
∴ (DC)2 = (DO)2 + (OC)2
[∵ in a right angled triangle, the square of the side opposite to the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of other two sides]
(DC)2 =(4)2 + (7.5)2 = 16+ 56.25
= 72.25 cm2
or DC = \(\sqrt { 72.25 } \) = 8.5 cm
Thus, side of the rhombus is 8.5 cm.
4.
Let ABCD is a parallelogram and the obtuse angles of the parallelogram are ㄥA and ㄥC.

Let AM is the altitude drawn from the vertex A on DG and CN is the altitude drawn from the vertex C on AB.
∴ ㄥDAM = 45° and ㄥNCB = 45° [given]
In ΔAMD, we know that, sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
ㄥD + 45° + 90° = 180°
ㄥD =180° - 45° - 90°
=180° -135° = 45°
Similarly, in ΔCNB
ㄥB = 45°
Now, ㄥA + ㄥD =180°
[sum of adjacent angles In a paralleloprarn.is 180°]
∴ ㄥA + 45° = 180° [∵ㄥD = 45°]
⇒ ㄥA =180° - 45° =135°
Also, ㄥA = ㄥC
[∵ opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]
ㄥC =135°
5.
Since,in a parallelogram diagonals bisect each other and we know that, rectangle is a parallelogram.
So, RO= OS and IO= OE

or RS = 2RO and IE = 2OI
∴ RS=2 x (3x + 15) and IE=2 x (5x + 7)
or RS = 6x + 30 and IE = 10x + 14
Now.we again know that, in a rectangle diagonals are equal.
So, RS = IE ⇒ 6x + 30 = 10x + 14
⇒ 30-14=10x - 6x ⇒ 16 = 4x ⇒ 16 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)=x
⇒ 4=x ⇒ x=4
6.
Let perpendicular bisector of PQ is TS.

Such that ㄥPTS = ㄥSTQ = 90°
Also, PT = TQ and TS = ST
So, we see that
ΔPTS ≅ ΔQTS [by SAS]
So, we can say that,
P S= SQ
But PQRS is a rhombus.
So, PQ = PS = SQ
So, ΔPQS is an equilateral triangle.
ㄥSPQ = 60° or ㄥR = 60°
[opposite angles of rhombus are equal]
Also, ㄥQ = 180° - 60° = 120°
[∵ adjacent angles of a rhombus are supplementary]
and ㄥQ = ㄥS = 120°
Thus, ㄥP = 60° , ㄥR = 60°
ㄥQ = 120°, ㄥS = 120°
7.
We have, two parallelograms ABDH and EFGC.
ㄥABD = ㄥAHD = 130°
[opposite angles of a parallelogram]
ㄥGHD = 180° - ㄥAHD = 180° - 130°
⇒ 500= ㄥGHO
Also, ㄥEFG + ㄥFGC = 180°
[adjacent angles of a parallelogram]
⇒ 30° + ㄥFGC = 180°
⇒ ㄥFGC =180° - 30° =150°
∴ ㄥHGC =180° - ㄥFGC =180° -150°
=300 = ㄥHGO
Now, in ΔHGO, by using angle sum property,
ㄥOHG + ㄥHGO + ㄥHOG =180°
⇒ 50°+ 30°+ x0 =180°
⇒ x0 =180° - 80° = 100°
8.
(i) Yes, RE = OM
Given, the above rectangle, opposite sides are equal. .
(ii) Yes, ㄥMYO = ㄥRXE
Here, MY and RX are perpendicular to OE.
Since, ㄥRXO = 90° ⇒ ㄥRXE = 900
and ㄥMYE = 90° ⇒ ㄥMYO = 90°
(iii) Yes, ㄥMOY = ㄥREX
Since, these are alternate interior angles.
∵ RE || OM and EO is a transversal.
∴ ㄥMOE = ㄥOER
⇒ ㄥMOY = ㄥREX
(iv) Yes, ΔMYO ≅ RXE
In ΔMYO and ΔRXE, we see that
MO=RE [proved]
ㄥMOY = ㄥREX [proved]
ㄥMYO = ㄥRXE [proved]
∴ ΔMYO ≅ ΔRXE [by AAS]
(v) Yes, MY = RX
Since, these are corresponding part of congruent triangles.
9.
(i) Given, ABCD is a parallelogram in which ㄥB = 100°.
We know that, the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.
ㄥA + ㄥB = 180°
[∴ ㄥA and ㄥB are adjacent angles]
⇒ z+1000=180° ⇒ z=1800-100° =80°
Also, opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.
∴ ㄥD=ㄥB ⇒ y=1000
and ㄥC=ㄥA ⇒ x=z=80°
Hence, the measure of x, y and z are 80°,100° and 80°, respectively.

(ii) Let a parallelogram be ABCD in which ㄥD = 50° .
We know that, the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.
∴ ㄥA + ㄥD=50° ⇒ x + 500= 180°
⇒ x = 180°-50° = 130°
Also, opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.
∴ ㄥC=ㄥA ⇒ y=x=1300 and ㄥB=ㄥD=50°
Now, ㄥB + exterior ㄥB = 180°
⇒ 50° + z = 180° [by linear pair angle]
⇒ z = 1800- 50° = 130°
Hence, the measure of angles x, y and z are 130°, 130° and 130° , respectively.

(iii) Let a parallelogram be ABCD, in which ㄥCBO = 30°. Here, AC and BD intersect each other at O and ㄥAOD=90°.
∴ ㄥCOB = ㄥAOD=90°
[vertically opposite angles]
We know that, the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°.
In ΔOBC,
ㄥCOB + ㄥOCB + ㄥCBO = 180°
⇒ 90° +y +30° = 180° ⇒ Y + 120° = 1800
y=1800 - 1200= 600
As AD II BC and AC is a transversal.
y = z = 60° [alternate interior angles]
Hence, the measure of angles x, y and z are 90°, 60 and 60° , respectively.

(iv) Let parallelogram be ABCD, in which ㄥB = 80°
We know that, the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.
∴ ㄥB + ㄥC = 180° ⇒ 800+ ㄥC= 180°
⇒ ㄥC = 180° - 80°= 100°
Also, ㄥC + exterior ㄥC = 180° [by linear pair
:. exterior LC or z = 180° - 80°= 100°
Also, opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.
So, ㄥA = ㄥC ⇒ x = 100°
and ㄥD = ㄥB ⇒ y = 80°
Hence, the measure of angles x, y and z are 100°,80° and 100°, respectively.

(v) Let parallelogram be ABCD, in which
ㄥB = 112° and ㄥDAC = 40°.
We know that, the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.
∴ ㄥA + ㄥB = 180°
⇒ (40° + z) + 112° = 180°
⇒ 400 + z + 112° = 180° ⇒ z+152°=1800
⇒ z = 1800-152°=280
Also, opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.
So, ㄥD = ㄥB ⇒ y=112°
Now, in ㄥACD, using angle sum property of a triangle,
ㄥCAD + ㄥD + ㄥDCA = 1800
⇒ 400+y+x=1800
⇒ 40° +112° + x = 180°
⇒ 152° + x =1800 - x=1800-152°=280
Hence, the values of x, y and z are 280, 112° and 28°, respectively.
