m = 56 (property of rhombus) z= √( y+5)2−6 2

= √ (5+5) −6
∵ RT = PT (property of rhombus) 2 2

∴ n=4 =8

Instant Drill 2 4. In △HGK,

SRQ = 90 (property of rectangle) ∵ HK = GK (property of rectangle)
35 + m = 90 ∴ m=n (base s, isos. △)
m = 55 m + n = 136 (ext.  of △)
∵ ST = PT (property of rectangle) m + m = 136
∴ n=7 2m = 136
m = 68
Instant Drill 3 n = m = 68
∵ PS = SR (by definition)
∴ 4p = p + 9 5. ∵ ACD = 45 (property of square)
3p = 9 ∴ x + 30 = 45
p=3 x = 15
∵ SQ  PR (property of square) CDA = 90 (property of square)
∴ n = 90 In △CDE,
y = x + CDA (ext.  of △)
Exercise = 15  + 90
1. ∵ PQ = PS (by definition) = 105
∴ m=5
∵ PT = RT (property of rhombus) 6. n = 45 (property of square)
∴ n=4 ∵ PQRS is a square. (given)
∴ PQRS is also a parallelogram.
2. ∵ DB  AC (property of rhombus) PS // QR (by definition)
∴ x = 90 m = 64 (alt. s, PS // QR)
y = 52 (property of rhombus) In △PTW,
n + m + k = 180 ( sum of △)
3. x = 90 (property of rectangle)
45 + 64 + k = 180
∵ BE = DE (property of rectangle)
k = 71
∴ y=5

7. P + Q = 180 (int. s, PS // QR)

m + 78 = 180
m = 102
∵ PQRS is an isosceles trapezium.

∴ R = Q ‘Explain Your Answer’ Question

k = 78 13. (a) BCD + 90 = 180 (adj. s on st. line)
S = P BCD = 90
n=m (b) ABC = DCE (corr. s, BA // CD)
= 102 = 90
CDA = DCE (alt. s, AD // BE)
8. ∵ ABCD is an isosceles trapezium. = 90
(given) DAB = BCD (opp. s of //gram)
∴ BD = CA = 90 (proved in (a))
x=2+4 ∵ ABC = BCD = CDA = DAB
=6 = 90
AB = DC (by definition) ∴ ABCD is a rectangle.
y=5 (by definition)

9. OB = OD (property of kite) Level Up Question

m=4 14. Draw a perpendicular line from D to meet BC
DAC = BAC (property of kite) at E.
n = 21 A 15 cm D

12 cm
10. ∵ BD  AC (property of kite) C
B E
∴ m = 90 50 cm
BCD = BAD (property of kite) ∵ DE  BC (by construction)
41 + n = 103 ∴ DEB = DEC = 90
n = 62 ADE = DEC = 90 (alt. s, AD // BC)
∵ DAB = ABE = DEB = ADE = 90
11. PSR = PQR (property of kite) ∴ ABED is a rectangle. (by definition)
x = 110 ∴ DE = AB = 12 cm (property of rectangle)
54 + 110 + y + x = (4  2)  180 BE = AD = 15 cm (property of rectangle)
( sum of polygon) EC = BC  BE
54 + 110 + y + 110 = 360
= (50  15) cm
274 + y = 360
= 35 cm
y = 86
In △DEC,
∵ DEC = 90 (proved)
12. SPR = QPR (property of kite)
∴ DC = DE + EC
2 2 2
(Pyth. theorem)
x = 48
PQR = PSR = 95 (property of kite) DC = √ DE +EC 2 2

= √ 12 +35 cm
2 2
(48 + x) + PQR + y + 95 = (4  2)  180
( sum of polygon) = 37 cm
(48 + 48) + 95 + y + 95 = 360
286 + y = 360
y = 74
