- Q1 of 6Easy
Three angles of a quadrilateral are 90°, 90° and 90°. What is the fourth angle?
Show answerHide answer
Answer: 90°
Explanation: Three angles of 90° use 3 × 90° = 270° of the 360° total, leaving 360° − 270° = 90° for the fourth angle — not 100° or 80°.
- Q2 of 6Easy
A quadrilateral in which all four sides are equal but the angles need not be right angles is a:
Show answerHide answer
Answer: rhombus
Explanation: A shape with all four sides equal, whatever its angles, is a rhombus by definition — a rectangle instead needs all angles equal to 90°.
- Q3 of 6Medium
In a rectangle, the diagonals:
Show answerHide answer
Answer: are equal and bisect each other
Explanation: A rectangle's diagonals are always equal in length and always cut each other exactly in half — they are perpendicular only if it is also a square.
- Q4 of 6Medium
Every rectangle is a parallelogram because:
Show answerHide answer
Answer: its opposite sides are parallel and equal
Explanation: A rectangle satisfies the parallelogram condition because its opposite sides are both parallel and equal in length, not because all four sides match.
- Q5 of 6Hard
In a parallelogram, two adjacent angles are (2x + 10)° and (3x)°. Find x.
Show answerHide answer
Answer: 34
Explanation: Adjacent angles in a parallelogram sum to 180°: (2x + 10) + 3x = 180 gives 5x = 170, so x = 34.
- Q6 of 6Hard
A rhombus has each side 9 cm. Its perimeter is:
Show answerHide answer
Answer: 36 cm
Explanation: All four sides of a rhombus are equal, so the perimeter is 4 × 9 = 36 cm, not 9² = 81 cm².
Quadrilaterals notes: key concepts (Class 8 Mathematics)
This chapter defines the family of four-sided figures and the properties that tell them apart. The key result is that the four angles of any quadrilateral add up to 360°, proved by cutting it into two triangles with a diagonal. You define rectangle, square, parallelogram, rhombus, kite and trapezium, and — following the book's approach — learn to recognise each one from its diagonals: whether they are equal, whether they bisect each other, and whether they meet at right angles.
- Quadrilateral
- A closed figure with four sides, four angles and two diagonals. Its shape is fixed by the lengths of its sides and the sizes of its angles.
- Angle sum property
- The four angles of any quadrilateral always add up to 360°. A diagonal splits it into two triangles, and 2 × 180° = 360°.
- Rectangle
- A quadrilateral with four right angles and opposite sides equal. Its diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other.
- Square
- A rectangle whose sides are all equal — so it is both a rectangle and a rhombus. Its diagonals are equal and bisect each other at right angles.
- Parallelogram
- A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Opposite sides and opposite angles are equal, adjacent angles are supplementary, and the diagonals bisect each other.
- Rhombus
- A quadrilateral with all four sides equal. It is a parallelogram whose diagonals bisect each other at right angles but are usually unequal.
- Kite
- A quadrilateral with two pairs of equal adjacent sides (AB = BC, CD = DA). One diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other and bisects the vertex angles.
- Trapezium
- A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel opposite sides. The two angles on the same slant side (co-interior) add up to 180°.
- Diagonals as identifiers
- The book tells shapes apart by diagonals: equal + bisecting = rectangle, perpendicular + bisecting = rhombus, both together = square.
- Co-interior angles
- In a trapezium, a pair of angles between the two parallel sides on the same arm sums to 180°, letting you find unknown angles without measuring.
- Hierarchy of quadrilaterals
- A square is a special rectangle and a special rhombus; rectangles and rhombuses are special parallelograms; parallelograms are special trapeziums.
- Isosceles trapezium
- A trapezium whose two non-parallel (slant) sides are equal; its base angles are equal and its diagonals are equal in length.
