Once there was a donkey. One day he was wandering in the forest. Suddently he found a lion’s skin lying on the ground. He wore it. Animals saw him and ran away with fear. The donkey was very happy. After some time he heard some donkeys braying. He also stared braying. The animals heard his braying and came to know that he was donkey not a lion. They chased him and drove him away from the forest.

A man was going to the market with his son and ass (गंधा). They met a couple (दम्मत्ति पति- पत्नी) on the way. ‘Why walk when you have an ass to ride ?” called out the husband ‘Seat (बिठा दो) at the boy on the ass.” “I would like that,” said the boy. “Help me up. Father.”

Soon they met another couple. How shameful; (शर्म की बात हे) of you !” cried the woman. “Let your father ride. Won’t he be tired ?” So, the boy got down and the father ride the ass.

Again they marched on. “Poor boy”, “said the next person they met. “Why should the lazy father ride while his son is walking ?” So, the boy got onto the ass too. As they went on, they met some travellers (यात्री). “How cruel of them! They are up to kill the poor ass” cried one of the travellers. Hearing this the father and the son got down. Now they decided (फैसला किया) to carry the ass on their shoulders. As they did so, the travellers brake into laughter (जोर से हंसने लगे) The laughter frightened (डरा दिया) the ass. It broke free and ran away.

Punjab State Board PSEB 8th Class Maths Book Solutions Chapter 3 Understanding Quadrilaterals Ex 3.1 Textbook Exercise Questions and Answers.

PSEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Understanding Quadrilaterals Ex 3.1

Question 1.
Given here are some figures.

Classify each of them on the basis of the following:
(a) Simple curve
(b ) Simple closed curve
(c) Polygon
(d ) Convex polygon
(e) Concave polygon
Solution:
(a) Simple curves : (i), (ii), (v), (vi) and (vii)
(b) Simple closed curves : (i), (ii), (v), (vi) and (vii)
(c) Polygons : (i) and (ii)
(d) Convex polygon : (ii)
(e) Concave polygons : (i)

Question 2.
How many diagonals does each of the following have?
(a) A convex quadrilateral
(b) A regular hexagon
(c) A triangle
Solution :
(a) In a convex quadrilateral, number of sides (n) = 4
∴ Number of diagonals = \(\frac{n(n-3)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{4(4-3)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{4 \times 1}{2}\)
= 2

(b) In a regular hexagon, number of sides (n) = 6
∴ Number of diagonals = \(\frac{n(n-3)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{6(6-3)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{6 \times 3}{2}\)
= 9

(c) In a triangle, number of sides (n) = 3
∴ Number of diagonals = \(\frac{n(n-3)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{3(3-3)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{3 \times 0}{2}\)
= 0.

Question 3.
What is the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral ? Will this property hold if the quadrilateral is not convex ? (Make a non-convex quadrilateral and try!)
Solution:
The sum of measures of angles of a convex quadrilateral = 360°

Yes, this property holds, even if the quadrilateral is not convex.
Here, quadrilateral ABCD is a non-convex quadrilateral.
m∠A + m∠B + m∠C + m∠D
= 40° + 55° + 35° + 230°
= 360°

Question 4.
Examine the table. (Each figure is divided into triangles and the sum of the angles deduced from that.)

What can you say about the angle sum of a convex polygon with number of sides ?
(a) 7 (b) 8 (c) 10 (d) n
Solution :
From the above table, we conclude that sum of interior angles of polygon with n-sides = (n – 2) × 180°
(a) When n = 7
Sum of interior angles of a polygon of 7 sides = (n – 2) × 180°
= (7 – 2) × 180°
= 5 × 180°
= 900°

(b) When n = 8
Sum of interior angles of a polygon of 8 sides = (n – 2) × 180°
= (8 – 2) × 180°
= 6 × 180°
= 1080°

(c) When n = 10
Sum of interior angles of a polygon having n-sides = (n – 2) × 180°
= (10 – 2) × 180°
= 8 × 180°
= 1440°

(d) When n = n
Sum of interior angles of a polygon having n-sides = (n – 2) × 180°

Question 5.
What is a regular polygon ? State the name of a regular polygon of:
(i) 3 sides
(ii) 4 sides
(iii) 6 sides
Solution:
A polygon is said to be a regular polygon if:
(1) the measures of its interior angles are equal.
(2) the lengths of its sides are equal.

The name of a regular polygon having:
(i) 3 sides is a ‘equilateral triangle’.
(ii) 4 sides is a ‘square’.
(iii) 6 sides is a ‘regular hexagon’.

Question 6.
Find the angle measure x in the following figures.
(a)

Solution:
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
∴ x + 120° + 130° + 50° = 360°
∴ x + 300° = 360°
∴ x = 360° – 300°
(Transposing 300° to RHS)
∴ x = 60°

(b)

Solution:
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
∴ x + 60° + 70° + 90° = 360°
∴ x + 220° = 360°
∴ x = 360° – 220° (Transposing 220° to RHS)
∴ x = 140°

(c)

Solution:
Interior angles are : 30°, x, x,
(180° – 70°) = 110° (Linear pair) and
(180° – 60°) = 120° (Linear pair)
The given figure is a pentagon.
∴ Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = (n – 2) × 180°
= (5 – 2) × 180°
= 3 × 180° = 540°
∴ 30° + x + x + 110° + 120° = 540°
∴ 2x + 260° = 540°
∴ 2x = 540° – 260° (Transposing 260° to RHS)
∴ 2x = 280°
∴ \(\frac{2 x}{2}=\frac{280^{\circ}}{2}\)
(Dividing both the sides by 2)
∴ x = 140°

(d)

Solution:
It is a regular pentagon.
Sum of all interior angles of a pentagon
= (5 – 2) × 180°
= 3 × 180°
= 540°
∴ x + x + x + x + x = 540°
∴ 5x = 540°
∴ \(\frac{5 x}{5}=\frac{540^{\circ}}{5}\)
(Dividing both the sides by 5)
∴ x = 108°

7. (a).

Find x + y + z
Solution:
x + 90° = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ x = 180° – 90°
∴ x = 90°
y = 30° + 90° = 120°
(Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of interior opposite angles)
z = 180° – 30° (Linear pair) = 150°
Now, x + y + z = 90° + 120° + 150°
= 360°

(b).

Find x + y + z + ω
Solution:
The sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°

∴ a + 60° + 80° + 120° = 360°
∴ a + 260° = 360°
∴ a = 360° – 260° = 100°
Now, x + 120° = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ x = 180°- 120° = 60°
y + 80° = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ y = 180° – 80° = 100°
z + 60° = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ z = 180° – 60° = 120°
ω + 100° = 180°
∴ ω = 180° – 100° = 80°
Thus, x + y + z + ω = 60° + 100° + 120° + 80°
= 360°

1. Read the following passage and write the main points:

There are three types of American rice. Long grain is slender and the grains remain : separate when cooked. It is suited to main dishes, salads and soups. Medium grain is plumper than long grain and more tender when cooked. Short grain is almost round; the grains stick together when cooked.

Rice is also classified according to the ways it is processed. Brown rice retains the bran and germ (and therefore more nutrient); Parboiled or converted rice is soaked, steamed, and dried before milling. It retains more nutrients than white rice but takes 5 to 10 minutes longer to cook. Precooked white rice is cooked and dehydrated after milling and needs little cooking.

Main Points (Notes):
Classification of American rice
(a) How it looks:

1. long grain- slender, remains, separate when cooked.
2. medium grain- plumper, more tender when cooked.
3. short grain- almost round, stick together when cooked.

(b) How it is processed:

1. Brown rice-bran, germ-more nutrient.
2. Parboiled/Converted rice-soaked, steamed and dried, retains, nutrients, take longer to cook
3. Precooked white rice-already cooked and dehyrated, needs litde cooking.

2. Read the passage carefully and write the main points in the space provided.

THE INDIAN TOLL
According to the Union Transport Ministry, although buses constitute only 1.2% of India’s vehicles. In 2002 they were responsible for more than 11% of road accidents and 13% deaths. Around 85,000 people die every year from road accidents in India and the social cost of all this is a staggering Rs. 55,000 crores. In India, as in Asia, the driver is the main culprit. 78% of accidents are attributed to the drivers fault. And although there are programmes for teaching road safety, only a very few drivers attend it. Indeed, Dr. Sanjay K. Singh, of IIT, Kanpur and a transport subject expert argues that bus safety in India will not improve unless drivers are better off economically, and not overworked in addition, he says road infrastructure must improve with special lanes for cyclists and handcarts and proper footpaths for pedestrians.

Main Points:
I. Report on Road Accidents from Transport Ministry (2002):

1. No. of road accidents each year : Around 85,000
2. % accidents by bus drivers : 78%
3. % deaths caused by these accidents : 13%
4. Money spent on problems related to accidents : Rs. 55,000 crores

II. Solution:

1. training drivers : road safety classes few drivers attend-problems:
2. condition of drivers : well off economically, not to be overworked.
3. better roads : how ?

Improvement in road infrastructure-special lanes for cyclists, handcarts- proper footpaths.

3. Read the passage and Write the main points (Notes):

The Interim Test Range (ITR) was established in 1989 as a dedicated range for launching missiles, rockets and flight test vehicles.

The ITR has also supported a number of other missions such as testing of the multi-barrel rocket launcher Pinaka and pilodess aircraft Lakshya. The ITR has also been made capable for testing airborne weapons and systems with the help of sophisticated instrumentation.

Main Points (Notes)

1. Interim Test Range (ITR) established in 1989 for launching missile rockets and flight test vehicles.
2. Number of misssiles launched.
   Trishul, Akash, Nag, Prithvi, Agni
3. Brah Mos : Indian-Russian joint venture
4. Other missions supported : Pinaka (Multi-barrel rocket launcher); Lakshya (pilotless aircraft).

4. Read the passage given below and make notes:

Books are by far the most lasting products of human efforts. Temples crumble into ruin, pictures and states decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors minds ages ago. What was then thought and said still speaks to us as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift and throw out the bad products : for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good. Books introduce us into the best society, they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have lived. We hear what they said; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathise with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them, their experience becomes ours; and we feel as if we were actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

Notes:
Title : Permanent Value of Books
Main Points
A. (i) Books most lasting products. No effect of time other things come to the dust
(ii) thoughts in books become brighter and fresher.
B. Printed pages always speak.
C. Only good can survive bad products disappear.
D. Company of great minds of post-joys, grieves, experiences become wars.
E. Conclusion : Mirror of the past and present society.

5. Read the passage given below and make notes:

If the young students in schools and colleges do not learn discipline, they will never be able to extract obedience from others in society. In fact, society will never accept them as persons fit for any responsible position in life. A school or college without discipline can never impart suitable education to students. Such a school or college is no better than a factory to turn out imperfect men and women. Sense of discipline plays a very important part in the playground and the battle field. A disciplined team is likely to win the match in spite of its weakness but a very good team may not fare well for want of discipline. The rule of discipline equally applies to soldiers in the battle field

Notes:
Title : Students and Discipline.
Main Points
(A) Dis. in Society

1. needed is all fields
2. Source of extracting obedience
3. Not accepted responsible persons

(B) Schools and Colleges without Dis.

1. No dis. -no suitable education
2. prepare only imperfect men and woman.

Play ground and battle field

1. disciplined team wins
2. good team may lose
3. sure victory for disciplined soldiers. (Abb. Dis. Discipline)

6. Read the passage given below and make notes:

Games, though essential should not become the be-all and end-all of student life. Generally, the sportsmen waste too much time on them, and fail in their examinations.
