Q1 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 1:

Tick (✓) the correct answer
The two diagonals are not necessarily equal in a
(a) rectangle
(b) square
(c) rhombus
(d) isosceles trapezium

Answer 1:

(c) rhombus In a rhombus, the two diagonals are not necessarily equal.


Q2 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 2:

Tick (✓) the correct answer
The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 16 cm and 12 cm. The length of each side of the rhombus is
(a) 8 cm
(b) 9 cm
(c) 10 cm
(d) 12 cm

Answer 2:

(c) 10 cm


      



           


Let ABCD be a rhombus.Let AC and BD be the diagonals of the rhombus intersecting at a point O.AC=16 cm BD=12 cmWe know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.∴ AO=12AC     =12×16 cm     =8 cmBO=12BD      =12×12 cm      =6 cmFrom the right ∆AOB:AB2=AO2+BO2       =82+62 cm2       =64+36 cm2       =100 cm2⇒AB=100 cm          =10 cmHence, the length of the side AB is10 cm.Therefore, the length of each side of the rhombus is 10 cm because all the sides of a rhombus are equal.


Q3 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 3:

Tick (✓) the correct answer
Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are (2x + 25)° and (3x − 5)°. The value of x is
(a) 28
(b) 32
(c) 36
(d) 42

Answer 3:

(b) 32We know that the sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is180°.⇒2x+25+3x-5=180⇒5x+20=180⇒5x=180-20⇒5x=160⇒x=1605⇒x=32Therefore, the value of x is 32.


Q4 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 4:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
The diagonals do not necessarily intersect at right angles in a
(a) parallelogram
(b) rectangle
(c) rhombus
(d) kite

Answer 4:

(a) parallelogramIn a parallelogram, the diagonals do not necessarily intersect at right angles.


Q5 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 5:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 4 : 3. If the diagonal measures 25 cm then the perimeter of the rectangle is
(a) 56 cm
(b) 60 cm
(c) 70 cm
(d) 80 cm

Answer 5:

(c) 70 cm

Let ABCD be a rectangle and let the diagonal AC be 25 cm, length AB be 4x cm and breadth BC be 3x cm.Each angle of a rectangle is a right angle.∴∠ABC=90°From the right ∆ABC:AC2=AB2+BC2⇒252=4x2+3x2⇒625=16x2+9x2⇒625=25x2

x2= 62525=25⇒x=5∴ Length =4×5=20 cmBreadth=3×5=15 cm 

∴ P
erimeter of the rectangle = 2(20+15) cm
                                         =70 cm


Q6 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 6:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
The bisectors of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram intersect at
(a) 30°
(b) 45°
(c) 60°
(d) 90°

Answer 6:

(d) 90°The bisectors of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram intersect at 90°.


Q7 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 7:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
If an angle of a parallelogram is two-thirds of its adjacent angle, the smallest angle of the parallelogram is
(a) 54°
(b) 72°
(c) 81°
(d) 108°

Answer 7:

(b) 72°Let x° be the angle of the parallelogram. Sum of the adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°. ∴ x+23×x=180⇒x+2x3=180⇒x+2x3=180⇒5x3=180⇒x=180×35⇒x=108Hence, one angle of the parallelogram is 108°.Its adjacent angle = 180-108°=72°Therefore, the smallest angle of the parallelogram is 72°.


Q8 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 8:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
The diagonals do not necessarily bisect the interior angles at the vertices in a
(a) rectangle
(b) square
(c) rhombus
(d) all of these

Answer 8:

(a) rectangle In a rectangle, the diagonals do not necessarily bisect the interior angles at the vertices.


Q9 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 9:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
In a square ABCD, AB = (2x + 3) cm and BC = (3x − 5) cm. Then, the value of x is
(a) 4
(b) 5
(c) 6
(d) 8

Answer 9:

(d) 8All the sides of a square are equal.∴AB=BC⇒2x+3=3x-5⇒3+5=3x-2x⇒8=xTherefore, the value of x is 8. 


Q10 | Ex-16B | Class 8 | RS AGGARWAL | chapter 16 | Parallelograms 

Question 10:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
If one angle of a parallelogram is 24° less than twice the smallest angle then the largest angle of the parallelogram is
(a) 68°
(b) 102°
(c) 112°
(d) 176°

Answer 10:

(c) 112°Let x° be the smallest angle of the parallelogram.The sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.∴ x+2x-24=180⇒3x-24=180⇒3x= 180+24⇒3x=204⇒x=2043⇒x=68∴ Smallest angle=68°Largest angle = 180-68°=112°
