Question 5:

Prove that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

Answer 5:

Rhombus is a parallelogram.
 

 

Consider:

Therefore, the diagonals bisects at O.

Now, let us prove that the diagonals intersect each other at right angles.

Consider $∆COD\hspace{0.17em}and ∆COB$:


∴ $∆COD\cong ∆COB$
∴ $\angle COD = \angle COB$          (corresponding parts of congruent triangles)

Further,

∴ $\angle COD=\angle COB=90°$

It is proved that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other.

The diagonal and the side of a rhombus form right triangles.


In $△AOB$:

Therefore, the length of each side of the rhombus is 10 cm.

(d) none of these

Answer 7:

(b) 37^o, 143^o, 37^o 143^o

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
 

Therefore, the first and the second angles are:
$$\begin{gathered} {\left(3x-2\right)}^{\circ }={\left(2\times 13-2\right)}^{\circ }={37}^{\circ } \\ {\left(50-x\right)}^{\circ }={\left(50-13\right)}^{\circ }={37}^{\circ } \end{gathered}$$
Sum of adjacent angles in a parallelogram is ${180}^{\circ }$.
Adjacent angles = ${180}^{\circ }-{37}^{\circ }={143}^{\circ }$

The bisectors of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram intersect at
(a) 30°
(b) 45°
(c) 60°

Answer 11:

(d) 90°


We know that the opposite sides and the angles in a parallelogram are equal.

Also, its adjacent sides are supplementary, i.e. sum of the sides is equal to 180.
Now, the bisectors of these angles form a triangle, whose two angles are:
 

Hence, the two bisectors intersect at right angles.
