    Diagonal: A diagonal is a line connecting two no-consecutive vertices of a polygon.

    Angle Sum of a Polygon: The angle sum of a polygon is given by following formula:

    (n-2)180, where n is the number of sides of a polygon.

    Sum of exterior angles of a polygon: This is always 360, no matter what is the

    number of sides in a given polygon. Take example of a triangle. All vertex of a tri-angle will make to exterior angles. As you know the angle sum of a triangle is 180,

    so three exterior angles will sum up to 180 and two sets of three exterior angleseach will sum up to 360. In a rectangle all exterior angles are of 90, hence their

    sum is equal to 360.

    EXERCISE 1

    1. How many diagonals does each of the following have?

    (a) A convex quadrilateral (b) A regular hexagon (c) A triangle

    Answer:(a) 2 (b) 9 (c) 0

    2. What is the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral? Will this

    property hold if the quadrilateral is not convex?

    Answer: Using the formula:(n-2)180= (4-2)180 = 360.

    For concave quadrilateral also angle sum will be same because number of sides issame.

    3. What can you say about the angle sum of a convex polygon with number of sides?(a) 7 (b) 8 (c) 10

    Answer:

    (a) Number of sides = 7

    So, Angle Sum= 900180)27(180)2(n(b) Number of sides = 8

    So, Angle Sum= 1080180)28((c ) Number of sides = 10

    So, Angle Sum = 1440180)210(4. What is a regular polygon? State the name of a regular polygon of

    (i) 3 sides (ii) 4 sides (iii) 6 sides

    Answer: In a regular polygon all sides are of equal length.

    (i) Triangle (ii) Quadrilateral (iii) Hexagon

    5. Find the angle measurexin the following figures.

    (a)

    Answer: As we know that angle sum of a quadrilateral is 360.So, 50+130+120+x= 360

    Or, x= 360-300 = 60

    Finish Line & Beyond

    Answer: Angles on one side of a line always add up to 180, so third angle in the

    given quadrilateral is 90

    Now, x+70+60+90 = 360Or, x= 360-220 = 140

    (c)

    Answer: Angle adjacent to 70 = 180-70 = 110Angle adjacent to 60 = 180-60 =120

    Now, 2x+110+120+30 = 360Or, 2x= 360-260 = 100

    Or, x= 50

    (d)

    Answer: Angle sum of pentagon(n-2)180

    = (5-2)180=3 X 180 = 540

    Hence, measurement of 1 angle of a pentagon= 540 5 = 108(e) ?zyx

    Answer: As we know sum of all external angle of a polygon is always 360.

    So, 360zyxAlternate Method:The angle adjacent to z = 180-(90+30) = 60

    Now, x= 180-90 = 90

    y= 180-30 = 150 z= 180 - 60 = 120

    Answer: Number of Sides =11

    22

    360360 ==

    gleexteriorAn

    As the final answer is not a whole number so there is no possibility of a polygon with

    1 exterior angle measuring 22.

    (b) Can it be an interior angle of a regular polygon? Why?

    Answer: If interior angle is 22 then the exterior angle = 180-22=158

    On dividing 360 by 158 we cant get answer in whole number, so such a polygon isnot possible.

    6. (a) What is the minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon? Why?

    (b) What is the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon?

    Answer: The polygon with minimum number of sides is a triangle, and each angle ofan equilateral triangle measures 60, so 60 is the minimum value of the possible in-terior angle for a regular polygon. For an equilateral triangle the exterior angle is

    180-60=120 and this is the maximum possible value of an exterior angle for a

    regular polygon.

    (iii)

    Answer:z being opposite angle= 80x and yare complementary, x and y=180-80=100

    (iv)

    Answer: As angles on one side of a line are always complementarySo, x=90 y= 180-(90+30)=60The top vertex angle of the above figure = 60 2=120Hence, bottom vertex Angle = 120 andz=60

    (v)

    Answer:y= 112, as opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram

    x= 180-(112-40)=28

    12/16

    Finish Line & Beyond

    As adjacent angles are complementary so angle of the bottom left vertex=180-112=68

    So, z=68-40=28

    Another way of solving this is as follows:As angles x and zare alternate angles of a transversal so they are equal in measure-

    ment.3. Can a quadrilateral ABCD be a parallelogram if

    (i) D + B = 180? (ii) AB = DC = 8 cm, AD = 4 cm and BC = 4.4 cm?(iii) A = 70 and C = 65?Answer: (i)It can be , but not always as you need to look for other criteria as well.

    (ii) In a parallelogram opposite sides are always equal, here AD BC, so its not aparallelogram.

    (iii) Here opposite angles are not equal, so it is not a parallelogram.

    5. The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3 : 2. Findthe measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.

    Answer: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are always add upto 180.

    So, xx 23180 +1805x

    36xSo angles are; 108336 and 72236

    6. Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram have equal measure. Find the measure of

    each of the angles of the parallelogram.

    Answer: 90, as they add up to 180

    7. The adjacent figure HOPE is a parallelogram. Find the angle measuresx, yandz. State the properties you use to find them.

    Answer: Angle opposite to y= 180-70=110

    Hence, y= 110x=180-(110+40)=30, (triangles angle sum)

    z=30 (Alternate angle of a transversal)

    True.

    (d) All rhombuses are kites.

    True

    (e) All squares are rhombuses and also rectangles

    True; squares fulfill all criteria of being a rectangle because all angles are

    right angle and opposite sides are equal. Similarly, they fulfill all criteria ofa rhombus, as all sides are equal and their diagonals bisect each other.

    (f) All parallelograms are trapeziums.

    False; All trapeziums are parallelograms, but all parallelograms cant betrapezoid.

    2. Identify all the quadrilaterals that have.(a) four sides of equal length (b) four right angles

    Answer: (a) If all four sides are equal then it can be either a square or a rhombus.

    (b) All four right angles make it either a rectangle or a square.

    3. Explain how a square is.

    (i) a quadrilateral (ii) a parallelogram (iii) a rhombus (iv) a rectangle

    Answer: (i) Having four sides makes it a quadrilateral

    (ii) Opposite sides are parallel so it is a parallelogram

    (iii) Diagonals bisect each other so it is a rhombus(iv) Opposite sides are equal and angles are right angles so it is a rectangle.

    4. Name the quadrilaterals whose diagonals.(i) bisect each other (ii) are perpendicular bisectors of each other (iii) are equal

    Answer: Rhombus; because, in a square or rectangle diagonals dont intersect at

    right angles.

    5. Explain why a rectangle is a convex quadrilateral.

    Answer: Both diagonals lie in its interior, so it is a convex quadrilateral.

    6. ABC is a right-angled triangle and O is the mid point of the side opposite to theright angle. Explain why O is equidistant from A, B and C.

    Finish Line & Beyond

    Answer: If we extend BO to D, we get a rectangle ABCD. Now AC and BD are diag-

    onals of the rectangle. In a rectangle diagonals are equal and bisect each other.

    So, AC= BDAO= OC

    BO= ODAnd AO=OC=BO=OD

    So, it is clear that O is equidistant from A, B and C.
