KSEEB Class 8 Maths Of Practical Geometry Additional Problems
1. Is it possible to construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3cm, BC = 4cm, CD = 5.4cm, DA = 5.9cm and diagonal AC = 8cm? If not, why?
 Solution: No.
 In a △le, sum of two sides is always greater than the third side but here
 AB+BC<AC.
 
2.Is it possible to construct a quadrilateral ROAM in which RO = 4cm, OA = 5cm,
 ∠0 = 120°,  ∠R = 105° and  ∠A = 135° ? If not, why?
 Solution: No, We know that the sum of four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
 
 But, here,  ∠O+ ∠R+ ∠A
 = 120°+105°+135°
 = 360°
 ∴ Construct of quadrilateral ROAM is not possible.
3.Draw a circle of radius 3cm and draw its diameter and label it as AC. Construct its perpendicular bisector and let it intersect the circle at B and D. What type of quadrilateral is ABCD? Justify your answer.
 Solution: Cyclic quadrilateral Justification,
 ∠B = ∠D = 90°
 (Angle in a semicircle)
 
 ∠A =  ∠C = 90°
 (Angle in a semicircle)
 ∠B +  ∠D = 180°
 ∠A +  ∠C = 180°
 (opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
4.Construct a trapezium ABCD where AB || CD, AD = BC = 3.2cm AB = 6.4cm and CD =9.6cm. Measure  ∠B and  ∠A.
 (Hint: Difference of two parallel sides gives an equilateral △le ).
 Solution:
 
 
△BEC is an equilateral △le
 ∴  ∠BEC = 60°
 ⇒  ∠BED = 120°
 Now, ∠A = ∠BED = 120°
 (Opposite angles of a parallelogram)
 ∠A +  ∠D = 180° (Adjacent angle of parallelogram)
 ∠D = 180° –  ∠A = 180° —120°= 60°=  ∠ABE Finally,  ∠B =  ∠ABE +  ∠CBE
 ⇒  ∠B = 60° +60° = 120°
