Solutions of Conventional Questions

1. [11-12 Mid-year Exam]
ACD = 45o (prop. of sq.)
ACF = 90o (prop. of sq.)
DFC = 180 – 25o – 45o – 90o ( sum of )
o

= 20o
2. [11-12 Mid-year Exam]
ABD = 50 (prop. of rhombus)
BAD = 180 – ABC (int. s, AD // BC)
= 180o – 2(50o)
= 80o
∵ EA = AD & FB = BD (given)
∴ AB // EF (mid-pt. thm.)
∴ E = BAD (corr. s, AB // EF)
= 80
3. [11-12 Mid-year Exam]
∵ DE = DF (given)
∴ E = EFD (base s, isos. )
= (180 – 34) ÷ 2 ( sum of )
= 73
∵ FDC = EFD = 73 (alt. s, EF // DC)
∴ ADC = B = 73o
∵ BAD = 180o – FDC (int. s, AB // CD)
= 107o
∵ BCD = 180o – B (int. s, AB // CD)
o
= 107
∴ BAD = BCD = 107
∴ ABCD is a // gram (opp. s equal)

HC 3
HC = 4.5 cm
∴ BH = HC = 4.5 cm (centroid of )
BC = 2(4.5) = 9 (cm)
AH = 3GH = 3(2) = 6 (cm)
