Karnataka Board Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Quadrilaterals Ex 7.1

Question 1.

KSEEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Quadrilaterals Ex 7.1 1
Solution:
The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13.
Let ∠A : ∠B : ∠C : ∠D = 3 : 5 : 9 : 13.
Sum of ratio = 3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 30x
Sum of 4 angles of quadrilateral is 360°
∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360
30x = 360
∴ x = \(\frac{360}{30}\) = 12°
∠A = 3x = 3 × 12 = 36°
∠B = 5x = 5 × 12 = 60°
∠C = 9x = 9 × 12 = 108°
∠D = 13x = 13 × 12 = 156°

Question 2.
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then show that it is a rectangle.
KSEEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Quadrilaterals Ex 7.1 2
Solution:
Data: Diagonals of a parallelogram are equal.
To Prove: ABCD is a rectangle.
Proof: Now ABCD is a parallelogram and diagonal AC = Diagonal BD (Data)
In ∆ABC and ∆ABD,
BC = AD (Opposite sides of a quadrilateral)
AC = BD (Data)
AB common.
∴ ∆ABC ≅ ∆ABD (SSS postulate)
∠ABC = ∠BAD
But, ∠ABC + ∠BAD = 180°
∠ABC + ∠ABC = 180°
2 ∠ABC = 180°
∴ ∠ABC = 90°
If an angle of a parallelogram is a right angle, it is called a rectangle.
∴ ABCD is a rectangle.

Question 3.
Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles, then it is a rhombus.
KSEEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Quadrilaterals Ex 7.1 3
Solution:
Data: ABCD is a parallelogram and diagonals AC and BD bisect at right angles at O’.
To Prove: ABCD is a rhombus.
Proof: Here, AC and BD bisect each other at right angles.
∴ AO = OC
BO = OD
and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠AOD = 90°
If sides are equal to each other, then ABCD is said to be a rhombus.
Now, ∆AOD and ∆COD,
AO = OC (Data)
∠AOD = ∠COD = 90° (Data)
OD is common.
∴ ∆AOD ≅ ∆COD (SAS Postulate)
∴ AD = CD …………… (i)
Similarly,
∆AOD = ∆AOB
AD = AB ………… (ii)
∆AOB ≅ ∆COB
∴ AB = BC ……….. (iii)
∆COB ≅ ∆COD
∴ BC = CD ……………. (iv)
From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv),
AB = BC = CD = AD
All 4 sides of parallelogram ABCD are equal, then it is a rhombus.

KSEEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Quadrilaterals Ex 7.1 4
Solution:
Data: ABCD is a parallelogram. Its diagonals are AC and BD. They meet at ‘O’.
To Prove: i) AO = OC
BO = OD
ii) ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠DOA = 90°.
Proof: In ∆ABC and ∆ABD,
BC = AD (diagonals of square is equal)
∠ABC = ∠BAD = 90° (angles of square)
AB is common.
∴ ∆ABC ≅ ∆ABD (SAS Postulate.)
In ∆AOB and ∆COD,
AB = DC (sides of square)
∠OAB = ∠OCD (alternate angles)
∠OBA = ∠ODC (alternate angles)
∴ ∆AOB ≅ ∆COD (ASA Postulate)
AO = OC
BO = OD …………….. (i)
Similarly,
∆AOB ≅ ∆BOC.
∴ ∠AOB = ∠BOC = 90°
Now, ∆COD ≅ ∆AOD, then
∴ ∠COD = ∠DOA = 90°
∴ ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠DOA = 90° …………. (ii)
from (i) and (ii)
∴ Sides of a square are equal and bisect at right angles.

AO = OC and AC = BD
BO = OD
∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD + ∠DOA = 90°.
To Prove: ABCD is a square.
Proof: In ∆AOB and ∆COD,
AO = OC
BO = OD (Data)
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∆AOB ≅ ∆COD (SAS Postulate)
AB = CD …………. (i)
∠ABO = ∠CDO

AD = CD …………. (iii)
AD = BC ………….. (iv)
From (ii), (iii) and (iv)
AB = BC = CD = AD
Four sides of a quadrilateral are they are equal to each other and bisect each other at right angles, then it is a square.
∴ ABCD is a square.

But, ∠DAC= ∠BCA (alternate angles)(ii)
∠BAC=∠DCA (alternate angles)(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii),
∠BCA = ∠DCA

To Prove: Diagonal BD bisects ∠B and ∠D.
Proof: In a rhombus all sides are equal and opposite angles are equal to each other.
In ∆ABC,
AB = BC
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BCA
∠B AC = ∠DCA (alternate angles)
∴ ∠BCA = ∠DCA …………… (i)
∴ AC bisects ∠C.
Now, ∠BCA = ∠DAC (alternate angles)
∠BAC = ∠DAC
∴ AC bisects ∠A
In ∆ABD,
AD = DB
∴ ∠ABD = ∠ADB
∠ABD = ∠CDB
∴ BD bisects ∠D.
∠ADB = ∠CBD
∠ABD = ∠CBD
∴ BD bisects ∠B.

Proof: (i) ABCD is a rectangle. AC and BD diagonals intersect at O’.
AB = DC (Opposite sides of rectangle)
AD = BC
∠BAD = ∠BCD (Opposite angles)
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠BAD = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠BCD
∴ ∠DAC = ∠DCA (AC bisects ∠A)
∴ DC = DA
But, AB = CD and DA = BC (Data)
