1. A survey was made to find the type of music that a certain group of young people liked in a city. Given pie chart shows the findings of this survey.

From this pie chart answer the following:

Question (i).
If 20 people liked classical music, how many young people were surveyed ?
Solution:
Let the required number of total young people surveyed = x
∴ 10% of x = 20
∴ \(\frac {10}{100}\) × x = 20
∴ x = \(\frac{20 \times 100}{10}\)
∴ x = 200
200 young people were surveyed.

Question (ii).
Which type of music is liked by the maximum number of people ?
Solution:
Maximum number of people like the light music.

Question (iii).
If a cassette company were to make 1000 CD’s, how many of each type would they make ?
Solution:
Total number of CD’s = 1000
(a) Number of CD’s for semi classical music = 20 % of 1000
= \(\frac {20}{100}\) × 1000 = 200
(b) Number of CD’s for classical music = 10 % of 1000
= \(\frac {10}{100}\) × 1000 = 100
(c) Number of CD’s for folk music = 30 % of 1000
= \(\frac {30}{100}\) × 1000 = 300
(d) Number of CD’s for light music = 40 % of 1000
= \(\frac {40}{100}\) × 1000 = 400

2. A group of 360 people were asked to vote for their favourite season from the ? three seasons rainy, winter and summer:

Question (i).
Which season got the most votes ?
Solution:
Winter season got the most votes (150).

Question (ii).
Find the central angle of each sector.
Solution:

4. The given pie chart gives the marks scored in an examination by a student in Hindi, English, Mathematics, Social Science and Science. If the total marks obtained by the students were 540, answer the following questions.

Question (i).
In which subject did the student score 105 marks ?
[Hint: For 540 marks, the central angle = 360°. So for 105 marks, what is the central angle ?]
Solution:
Toted marks = 540
∴ Central angle corresponding to 540 marks = 360°
∴ Central angle corresponding to 105 marks = \(\frac {360}{540}\) × 105° = 70°
The sector having central angle 70° is corresponding to Hindi.
Thus, the student scored 105 marks in Hindi.

Question (ii).
How many more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi?
Solution:
The central angle corresponding to the sector of Mathematics = 90°
∴ Marks scored in Mathematics = \(\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\) × 540 = 135
30 (135 – 105) more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi.

Question (iii).
Examine whether the sum of the marks obtained in Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.
[Hint:Just study the central angles.]
Solution:
The sum of the central angles for Social Science and Mathematics = 65° + 90° = 155°
The sum of the central angles for Science and Hindi = 80° + 70° = 150°
∴ Marks obtained in Social Science and Mathematics is more than the marks scored in Science and Hindi.

PSEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.2

1. The shape of the top surface of a table is a trapezium. Find its area if its parallel sides are 1 m and 1.2 m and perpendicular distance between them is 0.8 m.

Solution:
Area of top surface of a table = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (sum of parallel sides) × perpendicular distance between the parallel sides
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (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.

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:

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.

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.

4. The diagonal of a quadrilateral shaped field is 24 m and B the perpendiculars dropped on it from c the remaining opposite vertices are 8 m and 13 m. Find the area of the field.

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:
d₁ = 7.5 cm, d₂ = 12 cm
Area of a rhombus = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × d₁ × d₂
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 7.5 × 12
= 7.5 × 6 = 45 cm².
Hence, area of rhombus is 45 cm².

6. Find the area of a rhombus whose side is 5 cm and whose altitude is 4.8 cm. If one of its diagonals is 8 cm long, find the length of the other diagonal.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PSEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.1

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)

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

Question (b)

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.

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].

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)

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)

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

Question (c)

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

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:

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:

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.

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.

Think, Discuss and Write (Textbook Page No. 62)

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.

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

Think, Discuss and Write (Textbook Page No. 64)

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.

Think, Discuss and Write (Textbook Page No. 66)

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)

Try these (Textbook Page No. 67)

Question 1.
How will you construct a rectangle PQRS if you know only the lengths PQ and QR?
Solution:

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:

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).

(\(\frac {5}{8}\))^-7 × (\(\frac {5}{8}\))⁴
(∵ a^-m = \(\frac{1}{a^{m}}\))
= (\(\frac {5}{8}\))^-7+4 (∵ a^m × aⁿ = a^m+n)
= (\(\frac {5}{8}\))^-3
= (\(\frac {8}{5}\))³
= \(\frac{8 \times 8 \times 8}{5 \times 5 \times 5}\)
= \(\frac {512}{125}\)

Draw the following.

Question 1.
The square READ with RE = 5.1 cm.
Solution:

Steps of construction :

• Draw a line segment RE = 5.1 cm.
• At E, draw \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{EM}}\), such that ∠REM = 90°.
• With E as centre and radius =5.1 cm, draw an arc intersecting \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{EM}}\) at A.
• With R as centre and radius = 5.1 cm, draw an arc.
• With A as centre and radius = 5.1 cm, draw an arc which intersect the previous arc at D.
• Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{RD}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\).

Thus, READ is the required square.

Question 2.
A rhombus whose diagonals are 5.2 cm and 6.4 cm long.
Solution:

[Note : The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angle.]
Here, in rhombus XYZW, YW 6.4 cm.
∴ OW = OY = 3.2 cm

Steps of construction:

• Draw a line segment XZ = 5.2 cm.
• Draw \(\overleftrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\), the perpendicular bisector of \(\overline{\mathrm{XZ}}\), which intersect \(\overline{\mathrm{XZ}}\) at O.
• With O as centre and radius = 3.2 cm, draw an arc intersecting \(\overleftrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\) above \(\overline{\mathrm{XZ}}\) at W.
• With O as centre and radius = 3.2 cm, draw another arc which intersects \(\overleftrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\) below \(\overline{\mathrm{XZ}}\) at Y.
• Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{XY}}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{YZ}}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{ZW}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{XW}}\).

Thus, XYZW is the required rhombus.

Question 3.
A rectangle with adjacent sides of lengths 5 cm and 4 cm.
Solution:

[Note: Each angle of a rectangle is a right angle.]
Steps of construction :

• Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm.
• At A, draw \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AX}}\), such that ∠XAB = 90°.
• With A as centre and radius = 4 cm, draw an arc intersecting \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AX}}\) at D.
• With B as centre and radius = 4 cm, draw an arc.
• With D as centre and radius = 5 cm, draw an arc which intersects the previous arc at C.
• Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{CD}}\).

Thus, ABCD is the required rectangle.

Question 4.
A parallelogram OKAY where OK = 5.5 cm and KA = 4.2 cm. Is it unique ?
Solution:

A parallelogram cannot be constructed as sufficient measurements are not given. It is not unique as angles may vary in parallelogram drawn by given measurements.
