(b) four right angles
Solution:
(a) Squares and rhombuses have four sides of
equal length.
(b) Rectangles and squares have four right angles.
Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 3.
Explain how a square is(i) a quadrilateral
(ii) a parallelogram
(iii) a rhombus
(iv) a rectangle
Solution:
(i) A square is a quadrilateral because it is a
four-sided polygon.
(ii) A square is a parallelogram due to the following properties:
(a) Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
(b) Opposite angles are equal.
(iii) A square is a rhombus because its all sides are equal and opposite sides
are parallel.
(iv) A square is a rectangle because its opposite sides are equal and parallel
and has equal diagonals.
Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 4.
Name the quadrilaterals whose diagonals(i) bisect each other
(ii) are perpendicular bisectors of each other
(iii) are equal
Solution:
(i)
Parallelogram, rectangle, square and rhombus
(ii) Square and rhombus
(iii) Square and rectangle
Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 5.
Explain why a rectangle is a convex quadrilateral.Solution:
In a rectangle, both of its diagonals lie in its
interior and each of its angle measures less than 180°. Hence, a rectangle is a
convex quadrilateral.
Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 6.
ABC is a right-angled triangle and O is the midpoint of the side opposite to the right angle. Explain why O is equidistant from A, B and C. (The dotted lines are drawn additionally to help you).
Solution:
Since the right-angled triangle ABC makes a
rectangle ABCD by the dotted lines.
Therefore, OA = OB = OC = OD [Diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect
each other]
Hence, O is equidistant from A, B and C.
