= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (1.2 + 1) × 0.8
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 2.2 × 0.8
= 0.88 m2
Hence, area of top surface of table is 0.88 m2.

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2

2. The area of a trapezium is 34 cm2 and the length of one of the parallel sides is 10 cm and its height is 4 cm. Find the length of the other parallel side.
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 2
Let the length of the other parallel side be xcm.
Area of trapezium
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (sum of parallel sides) × height
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (10 + x) × 4
= (10 + x) × 2
= 20 + 2x
Area of trapezium = 34 cm2 (given)
∴ 20 + 2x = 34
∴ 2x = 34 – 20
∴ 2x = 14
∴ x = 7
Hence, length of the other parallel side is 7 cm.

3. Length of the fence of a trapezium-shaped field ABCD is 120 m. If BC = 48 m, CD = 17 m and AD = 40 m, find the area of this field. Side AB is perpendicular to the parallel sides AD and BC.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 3
Solution:
Perimeter of a field = length of fence of a held
∴ AB + BC + CD + DA = 120
∴ AB + 48 + 17 + 40 = 120
∴ AB + 105 = 120
∴ AB = 120 – 105
∴ AB = 15 m
Now, Area of trapezium ABCD = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (sum of parallel sides)
× perpendicular distance between the parallel sides
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (AD + BC) × AB
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (40 + 48) × 15
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 88 × 15 = 660 m2
Hence, area of the field is 660 m2.

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 4
Solution:
Area of quadrilateral ABCD
Area of Δ ABD + Area of Δ BCD
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × BD × AM + \(\frac {1}{2}\) × BD x CN
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 24 × 13 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 24 × 8
= 12 × 13 + 12 × 8
= 156 + 96
= 252 m2
Hence, area of the field is 252 m2.

5. The diagonals of a rhombus are 7.5 cm and 12 cm. Find its area.

Solution:
Rhombus is a parallelogram too.
∴ Area of rhombus = base × height
= 5 × 4.8
= 5 × \(\frac {48}{10}\)
= 24 cm2
Now, area of rhombus = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × d1 × d2
∴ 24 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 8 × d2
∴ 24 = 4 × d2
∴ d2 = \(\frac {24}{4}\) = 6 Cm
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 5
Hence, length of the other diagonal of rhombus is 6 cm.

7. The floor of a building consists of 3000 tiles which are rhombus-shaped and each of its diagonals are 45 cm and 30 cm in length. Find the total cost of polishing the floor, if the cost per m2 is ₹4.
Solution:
The shape of a floor tile is rhombus.
d1 = 45 cm, d2 = 30 cm
Area of a tile = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × d1 × d2
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 45 × 30
= 45 × 15
= 675 cm2
Now, floor of a building consists of total 3000 tiles.
∴ Area of floor = Number of tiles × Area of one tile
= 3000 × 675
= 20,25,000 cm2
1cm = \(\frac {1}{100}\)m
∴ 1cm2 = \(\frac{1}{100 \times 100}\)m2 = \(\frac {1}{10000}\)m2
∴ 20,25,000 cm2 = \(\frac{2025000}{10000}\)m2
= 202.5 m2
∴ Cost of polishing the floor = ₹ 4 per m2
∴ Total cost of polishing the floor
= ₹ 4 × 202.5 = ₹ 810
Hence, total cost of polishing the floor is ₹ 810

8. Mohan wants to buy a trapezium-shaped field. Its side along the river is parallel to and twice the sidealong the road. If the area of this field is 10,500 m2 and the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides is 100 m, And the length of the side along the river.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 6
Solution:
The side along the river is parallel to and twice the side along the road.
Let the length of side along the road be x m.
Then, the length of side along the river = 2xm
Area of trapezium
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (sum of parallel sides) × height
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (x + 2x) × 100
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 3x × 100
= 3x × 50 = 150 x
But, area of field = 10500 m2 (given)
∴ 150x = 10500
∴ x = \(\frac {10500}{150}\)
∴ x = 70m
∴ 2x = 2 × 70 = 140 m
Hence, the length of the side along the river is 140 m.

9. Top surface of a raised platform is in the shape of a regular octagon as shown in the figure. Find the area of the octagonal surface.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 7
Solution:
Let us, divide regular octagon into two congruent trapezium and a rectangle. Then add areas of all these three shapes.
Here, height of trapezium = 4 m Length of two parallel sides = 11 m and 5 m respectively.
∴ Area of a trapezium = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (11 + 5) × 4
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 16 × 4
= 8 × 4
= 32 m2
∴ Area of two trapeziums = 2 × 32
= 64m2 …….. (i)
Area of a rectangle = length × breadth
= 11 × 5 = 55m2 …….. (ii)
∴ Area of regular octagonal platform
= (64 + 55) m2 [From (i) and (ii)]
= 119 m2

10. There is a pentagonal-shaped park as shown in the figure. For finding its area Jyoti and Kavita divided it in two different ways.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 8
Find the area of this park using both ways. Can you suggest some other way of finding its area?
Solution:
Jyoti has divided given pentagon into two congruent trapeziums.
∴ Area of a trapezium = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (sum of parallel sides) × perpendicular distance between two parallel sides
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (15 + 30) × \(\frac {15}{2}\)
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 45 × \(\frac {15}{2}\)
= \(\frac {675}{4}\) m2
∴ Area of two trapeziums = 2 × \(\frac {675}{4}\)
= \(\frac {675}{2}\)
= 337.5 m2
Now, Kavita has divided given pentagon into one triangle and the other square.
∴ Area of a triangle = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × b × h
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 15 × 15
= \(\frac {225}{2}\)
= 112.5m2 …………….(i)
∴ Area of a square = (side)2
= (15)2 = 15 × 15
= 225 m2 ……….(ii)
Area of a pentagon
= (112.5 + 225) m2 [From (i) and (ii)]
= 337.5 m2
Now, let us use our idea and find another method to find area of a given pentagon. Here, we have divided given pentagon into three triangles.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 9
Area of ∆ a = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 15 × 15
= \(\frac {225}{2}\)
= 112.5m2 … (i)
Area of ∆ b = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 15 × 15
= \(\frac {225}{2}\)
= 112.5 m2 ………… (ii)
Area of ∆ c = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 15 × 15
= \(\frac {225}{2}\)
= 112.5 m2 ……. (iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii) the area of a given pentagon
= (i) + (ii) + (iii)
= (112.5 + 112.5 + 112.5) m2
= 337.5 m2
Hence, area of the given pentagon is 337.5 m2.
[Note : By using such ideas, i.e., dividing any shape into convienient shapes, you can find area of given figure.]

11. Diagram of the adjacent picture frame has outer dimensions = 24 cm × 28 cm and inner dimensions 16 cm × 20 cm. Find the area of each section of the frame, if the width of each section is same.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2 10

Solution:
Here, picture frame is divided into four trapeziums, such that a, b, c and d.
The sides of opposite trapeziums have same measurement so they have equal area.
∴ Area of a = area of c and area of b = area of d

For trapezium a and c:
Length of parallel sides = 24 cm, 16 cm
Height = \(\frac{28-20}{2}=\frac{8}{2}\) = 4 cm
∴ Area of trapezium a
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (sum of parallel sides) × perpendicular distance between parallel sides
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (24 + 16) × 4
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 40 × 4
= 80 cm2
So area of trapezium c = 80 cm2.

For trapezium b and d:
Length of parallel sides = 28 cm, 20 cm
Height = \(\frac{24-16}{2}=\frac{8}{2}\) = 4 cm
∴ Area of trapezium b
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (sum of parallel sides) × perpendicular distance between parallel sides
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (28 + 20) × 4
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 48 × 4
= 96 cm2
So area of trapezium d = 96 cm2.
Hence, area of each section of frame is as follows.
Area of section a = 80 cm2
Area of section b = 96 cm2
Area of section c = 80 cm2
Area of section d = 96 cm2
To find the total surface area, we find the area of each face and then add them.

1. A square and a rectangular field with measurements as given in the figure have the same perimeter. Which field has a larger area?

Question (a)
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1 1
Solution:
Side of a square field = 60 m
∴ Perimeter of a square field = 4 × side
= 4 × 60 = 240 m
Area of a square field = (side)2
= (60)2
= 60 × 60
= 3600m2

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1

Question (b)
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1 2
Solution:
Perimeter of a rectangular field = Perimeter of square field
∴ Perimeter of a rectangular held = 240
∴ 2 (length + breadth) = 240
∴ 2 (80 + breadth) = 240
∴ 80 + breadth = \(\frac {240}{2}\)
∴ 80 + breadth =120
∴ breadth = 120 – 80
∴ breadth = 40
Breadth of rectangular field = 40 m
∴ Area of rectangular field = length × breadth
= (80 × 40)
= 3200 m2
Area of square field > Area of rectangular field
Thus, area of square field (a) is larger.

2. Mrs. Kaushik has a square plot with the measurement as shown g in the figure. She wants to construct a house in the middle of the plot. A garden is developed around the house. Find the total cost of developing a garden around the house at the rate of ₹ 55 per m2.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1 3
Solution:
Side of the square plot = 25 m
∴ Area of the square plot = (side)2
= (25 × 25) m2
= 625 m2
In square plot, a rectangular-shaped house is to be constructed.
∴ Area of the constructed house
= length × breadth
= (20 × 15) m2
= 300 m2
∴ Area of the garden = Area of square plot – Area of constructed house
= 625 – 300 = 325 m2
Cost of developing garden of 1 m2 is ₹ 55
∴ Cost of developing garden of 325 m2
= ₹ (55 × 325)
= ₹ 17,875
Thus, total cost of developing garden is ₹ 17,875.

3. The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semicircular at the ends as shown in the diagram. Find the area and the perimeter of this garden [Length of rectangle is 20 – (3.5+ 3.5) metres].

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1 4
Solution:
[Note: Here 2 semicircles at the ends of a rectangular garden makes a whole circle. So first find area of a circle and then area of a rectangle. Sum of these two areas is total area. Follow same pattern to find perimeter too. For perimeter of a garden, take only length as rectangle is between two semicircles. Diameter of a circle = Breadth of a rectangle = 7 m]
For semicircle:
∴ Radius = \(\frac{\text { diameter }}{\text { 2 }}\) = \(\frac {7}{2}\)m
Area of circle = πr²
Area of a semicircle = \(\frac {1}{2}\)πr²
∴ Area of 2 semicircles = 2(\(\frac {1}{2}\)πr²)
= \(\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2}\)m2
= 38.5 m2
Circumference of two semicircles = 2πr
= 2 × \(\frac {22}{7}\) × \(\frac {7}{2}\)
= 22 m

For rectangle:
length = 20 – (3.5 + 3.5) = 20 – 7 = 13 m
breadth = 7 m
Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
= 13 × 7 = 91 m2
Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 (length × breadth)
= 2 (13 + 0)
= 2 × 13 = 26 m
∴ Total area of the garden = (38.5 + 91) m2
= 129.5 m2
∴ Perimeter of the garden = (22 + 26) m
= 48 m
Thus, area of the garden is 129.5 m2 and the perimeter is 48 m.

4. A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 m2? (If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners.)
Solution:
[Note : To find number of tiles, divide the area of the floor by area of a tile. Let us do it in a simple way. Unit of floor area and tile area should be same.] Here, tile is parallelogram shaped.
So it’s area = base × corresponding height
Area of a floor = 1080 m2
Base of a tile = 24 cm = \(\frac {24}{100}\) m
Corresponding height of a tile = 10 cm = \(\frac {10}{100}\) m
Number of tiles = \(\frac{\text { Area of a floor }}{\text { Area of a title }}\)
= \(\frac{1080}{\frac{24}{100} \times \frac{10}{100}}\)
= \(\frac{1080 \times 100 \times 100}{24 \times 10}\)
= 45,000
Thus, 45,000 tiles are required to cover the given floor.

5. An ant is moving around a few food pieces of different shapes scattered on the floor. For which food piece would the ant have to take a longer round? Remember, circumference of a circle can be obtained by using the expression c = 2 πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Question (a)
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1 5
Solution:
Here, the shape is semi-circular.
Diameter = 2.8 cm
Radius = \(\frac{\text { Diameter }}{2}=\frac{2.8}{2}\) = 1.4 cm
Circumference of a semicircle = πr
Perimeter of the given figure
= πr + diameter
= (\(\frac {22}{7}\) × 1.4) + 2.8
= 4.4 + 2.8
= 7.2 cm

Question (b)
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1 6
Solution:
Here, given shape is semicircular at one side, (radius = \(\frac {2.8}{2}\) = 1.4 cm)
So perimeter of semicircular region (circumference) = πr
= \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 1.4
= \(\frac {22}{7}\) × \(\frac {14}{10}\)
= 4.4 cm … (i)
Perimeter of the other portion
= breadth + length + breadth
= (1.5 + 2.8 + 1.5) cm
= 5.8 cm … (ii)
∴ Perimeter of the given figure
= (4.4 + 5.8) cm [from (i) and (ii)]
= 10.2 cm

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1

Question (c)
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1 7
Solution:
Perimeter of a given part
(semi circular circumference) = πr
= \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 1.4
= 4.4 cm
∴ Perimeter of the given figure
= (4.4 + 2 + 2) cm
= 8.4 cm
Thus, 7.2 cm < 8.4 cm < 10.2 cm.
Thus, the ant would has to take a longer round for food piece (b), as it has a larger perimeter.

PSEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2

Question 1.
The following table shows the ages of the patients admitted in a hospital during a year:

PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 1

Find the mode and the mean of the data given above. Compare and interpret the two measures of central tendency.

Solution:
For mode:
In the given data, Maximum frequency is 23 and it corresponds to the class interval 35 – 45
Modal class = 35 – 45
So, l = 35; f1 = 23; f0 = 21; f2 = 14 and h = 10
Using fonnula, Mode l = l + \(\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right)\) × h
Mode = 35 + \(\left[\frac{23-21}{2(23)-21-14}\right]\) × 10
= 35 + \(\frac{2}{46-35}\) × 10
= 35 + \(\frac{20}{11}\) = 35 + 1.8 = 36.8.

For Mean:

PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 2

From above data,
Assumed mean (a) = 30
Width of class (h) = 10
∴ \(\bar{u}=\frac{\Sigma f_{i} u_{i}}{\Sigma f_{i}}=\frac{43}{80}\) = 0.5375
Using formula, Mean \((\overline{\mathrm{X}})=a+h \bar{u}\)
\(\bar{X}\) = 30 + 10 (0.5375)
= 30 + 5.375 = 35.375 = 35.37
Hence, mode of given data is 36.8 years and mean of the given data is 35.37 years. Also, it is clear from above discussion that average age of a patient admitted in the hospital is 35.37 years and maximum number of patients admitted in the hospital are of age 36.8 years.

Question 2.
The following data gives the information on the observed lifetimes (in hours) of 225 electrical components:

PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 3

Determine the ¡nodal lifetimes of the components.
Solution:
In the given data.
Maximum frequency is 61 and it corresponds to the class interval 60 – 80.
∴ Model class = 60 – 80
So, l = 60; f1 = 61 ; f0 = 52; f2 = 38 and h = 20
Using formula, Mode = l + \(\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right)\) × h

Mode = 60 + \(\left(\frac{61-52}{2(61)-52-38}\right)\) × 20

= 60 + \(\frac{9}{122-52-38}\) × 20

= 60 + \(\frac{9}{32}\) × 20

= 60 + \(\frac{180}{32}\)

= 60 + 5.625 = 65.625
Hence, modal Lifetimes of the components is 65.625 hours.

Question 3.
The following data gives the distribution of total monthly household expenditure of 200 families of a village. Find the modal monthly expenditure of the families. Also, find the mean monthly expenditure:

PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 4

Solution:
For Mode: In the given data.
Maximum frequency is 40, and it corresponds to the class interval 1500 – 2000.
∴ Model class = 1500 – 2000
So, l = 1500; f1 = 40; f0 = 24; f2 = 33 and h = 500
Using formula, Mode = l + \(\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right)\) × h

= 1500 + \(\left\{\frac{40-24}{2(40)-24-33}\right\}\) × 500

= 1500 + \(\left\{\frac{16}{80-24-33}\right\}\) × 500

= 1500 + \(\frac{16 \times 500}{23}\)

= 1500 + \(\frac{8000}{23}\) = 1500 + 347.83 = 1847.83

For Mean:

PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 5

From above data,

Assumed Mean (a) = 2750
Length of width (h) = 500
\(\bar{u}=\frac{\Sigma f_{i} u_{i}}{\Sigma f_{i}}=-\frac{35}{200}\) = – 0.175
Using formula, Mean \((\overline{\mathrm{X}})=a+h \bar{u}\)
\(\overline{\mathbf{X}}\) = 2750 + 500 (- 0.175)
= 2750 – 87.50 = 2662.50
Hence, the modal monthly expenditure of family is 1847.83 and the mean monthly expenditure is 2662.50.

Question 4.
The following distribution gives the slate-wise teacher-student ratio in higher secondary schools of India. Find the mode and mean of this data. Interpret the two measures.

PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 6

Solution:
For Mode:
In the given data,
Maximum frequency is 10 and it corresponds to the class interval is 30 – 35.
∴ Modal class = 30 – 35.
So, l = 30; f1 = 10; f0 = 9; f2 = 3 and h = 5
using formula, Mode = l + \(\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right)\) × h
Mode = 30 + \(\left(\frac{10-9}{2(10)-9-3}\right)\) × 5
= 30 + \(\frac{1}{20-12}\) × 5
= 30 + \(\frac{5}{8}\) = 30 + 0.625 = 30.625 = 30.63 (approx.)

For mean:

PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 7

From above data, Assumed Mean (a) = 32.5
Width of class (h) = 5
∴ \(\bar{u}=\frac{\Sigma f_{i} u_{i}}{\Sigma f_{i}}=-\frac{23}{35}\) = – 0.65

Using formula, Mean \((\overline{\mathrm{X}})=a+h \bar{u}\)
\(\overline{\mathbf{X}}\) = 32.5 + 5 (- 0.65)
= 32..5 – 3.25 = 29.25 (approx.)
Hence, mode and mean of given data is 30.63 and 29.25. Also, from above discussion, it clear that states/U.T. have student per teacher is 30.63 and on average, this ratio is 29.25.

The given distribution shows the number of runs scored by some top batsmen of the world in one-day international cricket matches

PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 8

Find the mode of the data.
Solution:
In the given data,
Maximum frequency is 18 and it corresponds to the class interval 4000 – 5000.
∴ Modal class = 4000 – 5000
So, l = 4000; f1 = 18; f0 = 4; f2 = 9 and h = 1000
Using formula, Mode = l + \(\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right)\) × h

Mode = 4000 + \(\left(\frac{18-4}{2(18)-4-9}\right)\) × 1000

= 4000 + \(\frac{14}{36-13}\) × 1000

= 4000 + \(\frac{14000}{23}\) = 4000 + 608.6956

= 4000 + 608.7 = 4608.7 (approx.)

Solution:
In the given data,
Maximum frequency is 20 and it corresponds to the class interval 40 – 50
∴ Modal Class = 40 – 50
So, l = 40; f1 = 20; f0 = 12; f2= 11 and h = 10
Using formula, Mode = l + \(\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right)\) × h

Mode = 40 + \(\left(\frac{20-12}{2(20)-12-11}\right)\) × 10

= 40 + \(\frac{8}{40-23}\) × 10

= 40 + \(\frac{80}{17}\) = 40 + 4.70588

= 40 + 4.7 = 44.7 (approx.)
Hence, mode of the given data is 44.7 cars.

Question 1.
Arshad has five measurements of a quadrilateral ABCD. These are AB = 5 cm, ∠A = 50°, AC = 4 cm, BD = 5 cm and AD = 6 cm. Can he construct a unique quadrilateral ? Give reasons for your answer.
Solution:
No, the quadrilateral ABCD cannot be constructed with the given combination of measurements. If the length of side BC or DC is given, then only □ ABCD can be constructed.

Think, Discuss and Write (Textbook Page No. 60)

Question (i).
We saw that 5 measurements of a quadrilateral can determine a quadrilateral uniquely. Do you think any five measurements of the quadrilateral can do this ?
Solution:
No, any 5 measurements can’t determine a s quadrilateral. To construct a quadrilateral, specific combination of measurements should be needed such as :

  • Four sides and one diagonal
  • Four sides and one angle
  • Three sides and two diagonals
  • Two adjacent sides and three angles
  • Three sides and two included angles
  • Some special properties should be given,

Question (ii).
Can you draw a parallelogram BATS where BA = 5 cm, AT = 6 cm and AS = 6.5 cm? Why?
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry InText Questions 1
Here, to draw a parallelogram BATS, BA = 5 cm, AT = 6 cm and AS = 6.5 cm are given. In parallelogram length of opposite sides are equal. So ST = AB = 5 cm and SB = AT = 6 cm. First we can draw A ASB where SB = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm and AS = 6.5 cm. Then draw ΔATS where AT = 6 cm, ST = 5 cm.
Thus, we can draw a parallelogram from given measurements.

Question (iii).
Can you draw a rhombus ZEAL where ZE = 3.5 cm, diagonal EL = 5 cm ? Why?
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry InText Questions 2
Here, to draw a rhombus ZEAL, ZE = 3.5 cm and EL = 5 cm are given. All of rhombus are equal to each other. So ZE = EA = AL = LZ = 3.5 cm. Moreover, diagonal EL = 5 cm Is given.
So We know all necessary measurements to draw rhombus. Yes, we can draw a rhombus ZEAL.

Question (iv).
A student attempted to draw a quadrilateral PLAY where PL = 3 cm, LA = 4 cm, AY = 4.5 cm, PY = 2 cm and LY = 6 cm, but could not draw it. What is the reason?
[Hint: Discuss it using a rough sketch. ]
Solution :
Here, to draw a quadrilateral PLAY,
PL = 3 cm, LA = 4 cm, AY = 4.5 cm, PY = 2 cm and LY = 6 cm are given.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry InText Questions 3
Now, let us look at measurements of
ΔPLY. PL + PY = 3 cm + 2 cm = 5 cm while YL = 6 cm.
We know that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.
So point P cannot be determined even after constructing ΔLAY. Thus, a student failed s due to this reason.

Question 1.
In the above example, can we draw the quadrilateral by drawing ΔABD first and then find the fourth point C ?
Solution:
Since, the measurement of AB is not given, we cannot draw ΔABD, so question does not arise to find the foruth point C.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry InText Questions 4
Thus, we cannot draw the quadrilateral

Question 2.
Can you construct a quadrilateral PQRS with PQ = 3 cm, RS = 3 cm, PS = 7.5 cm, PR = 8 cm and SQ = 4 cm ? Justify your answer.
Solution:
No, the quadrilateral PQRS cannot be constructed as in ΔQSP, SQ + PQ ≯ SP

Question 1.
Can you construct the above quadrilateral MIST if we have 100° at M instead of 75° ?
Solution:
Yes. The quadrilateral MIST can be constructed with ∠M = 100° instead of 75°.
[Note : Only size of quadrilateral is changed.]

Question 2.
Can you construct the quadrilateral PLAN if PL = 6 cm, LA = 9.5 cm, ∠P = 75°, ∠L = 150° and ∠A = 140° ?
[Hint: Recall angle sum property.]
Solution:
Here, ∠P + ∠L + ∠A + ∠N
= 75° + 150° + 140° + ∠N
= 365° + ∠N
∴ Construction of quadrilateral PLAN is not possible as according to angle sum property. The sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. Here, 365° + N > 360°.

Question 3.
In a parallelogram, the lengths of adjacent sides are known. Do we still need measures of the angles to construct as in the example above?
Solution :
In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are parallel and of equal length. Here, we know the lengths of adjacent sides, so measures of the angles are not needed.
If we know the length of a diagonal the quadrilateral can be drawn.

Question 1.
In the above example, we first drew BC. Instead, what could have been be the other starting points?
Solution :
Instead of drawing BC, we can start with \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) or \(\overline{\mathrm{CD}}\).

Question 2.
We used some five measurements to draw quadrilaterals so far. Can there be different sets of five measurements (other than seen so far) to draw a quadrilateral ? The following problems may help you in answering the question.
(i) Quadrilateral ABCD with AB = 5 cm, BC = 5.5 cm, CD = 4 cm, AD = 6 cm and ∠B = 80°.
(ii) Quadrilateral PQRS with PQ = 4.5 cm, ∠P = 70°, ∠Q = 100°, ∠R = 80° and ∠S = 110°.
Construct a few more examples of your own to find sufficiency/insufficiency of the data for construction of a quadrilateral.
Solution:
(i) Here, four sides and one angle are given. So given data is sufficient to construct quadrilateral ABCD.
(ii) We cannot locate the points R and S with the help of given data. So given data is insufficient to construct quadrilateral PQRS.

Few examples of sufficient data to construct quadrilaterals :

  • Quadrilateral PQRS in which RS = 6 cm, QR = 5 cm, PQ = 5 cm, ∠Q = 135°, ∠R = 90°. (three sides and two angles)
  • Quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 5 cm, BC = 4 cm, ∠B = 60°, ∠A = 90° and ∠C = 135°. (two sides and three angles)

Question 1.
How will you construct a rectangle PQRS if you know only the lengths PQ and QR?
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry InText Questions 5
Each angle of a rectangle is a right angle. Rectangle has opposite sides of equal lengths. Here, PQ is given, So PQ = RS.
ΔPQR can be drawn using PQ, QR and ∠Q = 90°.
ΔQRS can be drawn using QR, RS and ∠R = 90°.
Thus, the required rectangle PQRS can be constructed.

Question 2.
Construct the kite EASY if AY = 8 cm, EY = 4 cm and SY = 6 cm. Which properties of the kite did you use in the process ?
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry InText Questions 6
Diagonals intersect each other at right angle. ? In kite pairs of consecutive sides are of equal lengths.
While constructing, E cannot be located.
∴ Kite EASY cannot be constructed
(∵ For Δ EYA, the sum of lengths of two sides EY + EA (4 + 4) is not greater than length of third side AY (8).
