Question 5.
The angles of a quadrilateral are 110°, 72°, 55° and x°. Find the value of x.
Solution:
Sum of four angles of quadrilateral is 360°
110° + 12° + 55° + x° = 360°
⇒ 237° + x° = 360°
⇒ x° = 360° – 237° = 123°
x = 123°

Question 6.
The three angles of a quadrilateral are respectively equal to 110°, 50° and 40°. Find its fourth angle.
Solution:
The sum of four angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
Three angles are 110°, 50° and 40°
Let fourth angle = x
Then 110° + 50° + 40° + x° = 360°
⇒ 200° + x° = 360°
⇒ x = 360° – 200° = 160°
x = 160°

Question 7.
A quadrilateral has three acute angles each measures 80°. What is the measure of fourth angle ?
Solution:
Sum of four angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
Sum of three angles having each angle equal to 80° = 80° x 3 = 240°
Let fourth angle = x
Then 240° + x = 360°
⇒ x° = 360° – 240°
⇒ x° = 120°
Fourth angle = 120°

Question 8.
A quadrilateral has all its four angles of the same measure. What is the measure of each ?
Solution:
Let each equal angle of a quadrilateral = x
4x° = 360°
⇒ x° = 3604 = 90°
Each angle will be = 90°

Question 9.
Two angles of a quadrilateral are of measure 65° and the other two angles are equal. What is the measure of each of these two angles ?
Solution:
Measures of two angles each = 65°
Sum of these two angles = 2 x 65°= 130°
But sum of four angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
Sum of the remaining two angles = 360° – 130° = 230°
But these are equal to each other
Measure of each angle = 2302 = 115°

Question 10.
Three angles of a quadrilateral are equal. Fourth angle is of measure 150°. What is the measure of equal angles ?
Solution:
Sum of four angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
One angle = 150°
Sum of remaining three angles = 360° – 150° = 210°
But these three angles are equal
Measure of each angle = 2103 = 70°

Question 11.
The four angles of a quadrilateral are as 3 : 5 : 7 : 9. Find the angles.
Solution:
Sum of four angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
and ratio in angles = 3 : 5 : 7 : 9
Let first angles = 2x
Then second angle = 5x
third angle = 7x
and fourth angle = 9x
3x + 5x + 7x + 9x = 360°
⇒ 24x = 369°
⇒ x = 36024 = 15°
First angle = 3x = 3 x 15° = 45°
second angle = 5x = 5 x 15° = 75°
third angle = 7x = 7 x 15° = 105°
and fourth angle = 9x = 9 x 15° = 135°

Question 12.
If the sum of the two angles of a quadrilateral is 180°, what is the sum of the remaining two angles ?
Solution:
Sum of four angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
and sum of two angle out of these = 180°
Sum of other two angles will be = 360° – 180° = 180°

Question 13.
In the figure, find the measure of ∠MPN.
RD Sharma Class 8 Solutions Chapter 16 Understanding Shapes II Ex 16.1 5
Solution:
In the figure, OMPN is a quadrilateral in which
∠O = 45°, ∠M = ∠N = 90° (PM ⊥ OA and PN ⊥ OB)
Let ∠MPN = x°
∠O + ∠M + ∠N + ∠MPN = 360° (Sum of angles of a quadrilateral)
⇒ 45° + 90° + 90° + x° = 360°
⇒ 225° + x° = 360°
⇒ x° = 360° – 225°
⇒x = 135°
∠MPN = 135°

Question 14.
The sides of a quadrilateral are produced in order. What is the sum of the four exterior angles ?
Solution:
The sides of a quadrilateral ABCD are produced in order, forming exterior angles ∠1, ∠2, ∠3 and ∠4.
RD Sharma Class 8 Solutions Chapter 16 Understanding Shapes II Ex 16.1 6
Now ∠DAB + ∠1 = 180° (Linear pair) ……(i)
Similarly,
∠ABC + ∠2 = 180°
∠BCD + ∠3 = 180°
and ∠CDA + ∠4 = 180°
Adding, we get
∠DAB + ∠1 + ∠ABC + ∠2 + ∠BCD + ∠3 + ∠CDA + ∠4 = 180° + 180° + 180° + 180° = 720°
⇒ ∠DAB + ∠ABC + ∠CDA + ∠ADC + ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 720°
But ∠DAB + ∠ABC + ∠CDA + ∠ADB = 360° (Sum of angles of a quadrilateral)
360° + ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 720°
⇒ ∠l + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 720° – 360° = 360°
Sum of exterior angles = 360°

Question 15.
In the figure, the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet at a point P. If ∠C = 100° and ∠D = 50°, find the measure of ∠APB.
Solution:
In quadrilateral ABCD,
RD Sharma Class 8 Solutions Chapter 16 Understanding Shapes II Ex 16.1 7
∠D = 50°, ∠C = 100°
PA and PB are the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B.
In quadrilateral ABCD,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° (Sum of angles of a quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + 100° + 50° = 360°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + 150° = 360°’
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 360° – 150° = 210°
and 12 ∠A + 12 ∠B = 2102 = 105°
(PA and PB are bisector of ∠A and ∠B respectively)
∠PAB + ∠PBA = 105°
⇒ ∠PAB + ∠PBA + ∠APB = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 105° + ∠APB = 180°
⇒ ∠APB = 180° – 105° = 75°
∠APB = 75°

Question 16.
In a quadrilateral ABCD, the angles A, B, C and D are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 4 : 5. Find the measure of each angle of the quadrilateral.
Solution:
Sum of angles A, B, C and D of a quadrilateral = 360°
i.e. ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
But ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 1 : 2 : 4 : 5
RD Sharma Class 8 Solutions Chapter 16 Understanding Shapes II Ex 16.1 8
Let ∠A = x,
Then ∠B = 2x
∠C = 4x
∠D = 5x
x + 2x + 4x + 5x = 360°
⇒ 12x = 360°
⇒ x = 36012 = 30°
∠A = x = 30°
∠B = 2x = 2 x 30° = 60°
∠C = 4x = 4 x 30° = 120°
∠D = 5A = 5 x 30° = 150°

Question 20.
The measure of angles of a hexagon are x°, (x – 5)° (x – 5)°, (2x – 5)°, (2x – 5)°, (2x + 20)°. Find the value of x.
Solution:
We know that the sum of interior angels of a hexagon = 720° (180° x 4)
⇒ x + x – 5 + x – 5 + 2x – 5 + 2x – 5 + 2x + 20 = 720°
⇒ 9x – 20 + 20 = 720
⇒ 9x = 720
⇒ x = 7209 = 80°
x = 80°

Question 21.
In a convex hexagon, prove that the sum of all interior angles is equal to twice the sum of its exterior angles formed by producing the sides in the same order.
Solution:
In a convex hexagon ABCDEF, its sides AB, BG, CD, DE, EF and FA are produced in order forming exterior angles a, b, c, d, e, f
RD Sharma Class 8 Solutions Chapter 16 Understanding Shapes II Ex 16.1 15
∠a + ∠b + ∠c + ∠d + ∠e + ∠f = 4 right angles (By definition)
By joining AC, AD, and AE, 4 triangles ABC, ACD, ADE and AEF are formed
In ∆ABC,
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180° = 2 right angle (Sum of angles of a triangle) …… (i)
Similarly,
In ∆ACD,
∠4 +∠5 + ∠6 = 180° = 2 right angles
In ∆ADE,
∠1 + ∠8 + ∠9 = 2 right angles …(iii)
In ∆AEF,
∠10 + ∠11 + ∠12 = 2 right angles …(iv)
Joining (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 + ∠9 + ∠10 + ∠11 + ∠12 = 8 right angles
⇒ ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠8 + ∠9 + ∠11 + ∠12 + ∠1 + ∠4 + ∠7 + ∠10 = 8 right angles
⇒ ∠B + ∠C + ∠D + ∠E +∠F + ∠A = 8 right angles
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 2 (∠a + ∠b + ∠c + ∠d + ∠e + ∠f)
Sum of all interior angles = 2(the sum of exterior angles)
Hence proved.

Question 22.
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is three times the sum of its exterior angles. Determine the number of sides of the polygon.
Solution:
Let number of sides of a regular polygon = n
Each interior angle = 2n–4n right angles
Sum of all interior angles = 2n–4n x n
right angles = (2n – 4) right angles
But sum of exterior angles = 4 right angles
According to the condition,
(2n – 4) = 3 x 4 (in right angles)
⇒ 2n – 4 = 12
⇒ 2n = 12 + 4 = 16
⇒ n = 8
Number of sides of the polygon = 8

Question 23.
Determine the number of sides of a polygon whose exterior and interior angles are in the ratio 1 : 5.
Solution:
Ratio in exterior angle and interior angles of a regular polygon = 1 : 5
But sum of interior and exterior angles = 180° (Linear pair)
RD Sharma Class 8 Solutions Chapter 16 Understanding Shapes II Ex 16.1 16
By cross multiplication:
6n – 12 = 5n
⇒ 6n – 5n = 12
⇒ n = 12
Number of sides of polygon is 12

Question 24.
PQRSTU is a regular hexagon. Determine each angle of ∆PQT.
Solution:
In regular hexagon, PQRSTU, diagonals PT and QT are joined.
RD Sharma Class 8 Solutions Chapter 16 Understanding Shapes II Ex 16.1 17
In ∆PUT, PU = UT
∠UPT = ∠UTP
But ∠UPT + ∠UTP = 180° – ∠U = 180° – 120° = 60°
∠UPT = ∠UTP = 30°
∠TPQ = 120° – 30° = 90° (QT is diagonal which bisect ∠Q and ∠T)
∠PQT = 1202 = 60°
Now in ∆PQT,
∠TPQ + ∠PQT + ∠PTQ = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 90° + 60° + ∠PTQ = 180°
⇒ 150° + ∠PTQ = 180°
⇒ ∠PTQ = 180° – 150° = 30°
Hence in ∆PQT,
∠P = 90°, ∠Q = 60° and ∠T = 30°

Exercise 10.1

Question 1.
Explain the concept of direct variation.
Solution:
If two quantifies a and b vary with each other in such a way that the ratio ab remains constant and is positive, then we say that a and b vary directly with each other or a and b are in direct variation.

Question 2.
Which of the following quantities vary directly with each other ?
(i) Number of articles (x) and their price (y).
(ii) Weight of articles (x) and their cost (y).
(iii) Distance x and time y, speed remaining the same.
(iv) Wages (y) and number of hours (x) of work.
(v) Speed (x) and time (y) (distance covered remaining the same).
(vi) Area of a land (x) and its cost (y).
Solution:
(i) It is direct variation because more articles more price and less articles, less price.
(ii) It is direct variation because, more weight more price, less weight, less price.
(iii) It is not direct variation. The distance and time vqry indirectly or inversely.
(iv) It is direct variation as more hours, more wages, less hours, less wages.
(v) It is not direct variation, as more speed, less time, less speed, more time.
(vi) It is direct variation, as more area more cost, less area, less cost.
Hence (i), (ii), (iv) and (vi) are in direct variation.

∴ n3 = (5)3 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125
125 = 3 x 41 + 2 = 3p +2

(b) If p = 2, then
n = 3p + 2 = 3 x 2 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
∴ n3 = (8)3 = 8 x 8 x 8 = 512
∴ 512 = 3 x 170 + 2 = 3p + 2

(c) If p = 3, then
n = 3p + 2 = 3 x 3 + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11
∴ n3 = (11)3 = 11 x 11 x 11 = 1331
and 1331 =3 x 443 + 2 = 3p + 2
Hence proved.

(i) 64
(ii) 512
(iii) 1728
Solution:
(i) 64
64 – 1 = 63
63 – 7 = 56
56 – 19 = 37
37 – 37 = 0
∴ 64 = (4)3
∴ Cube root of 64 = 4

(ii) 512
512 -1 =511
511- 7 = 504
504 – 19 = 485
485 – 37 = 448
448 – 61 = 387
387 – 91 =296
296 – 127 = 169
169 – 169 = 0
∴ 512 = (8)3
∴ Cube root of 512 = 8

(iii) 1728
1728 – 1= 1727
1727 -7 = 1720
1720 -19 = 1701
1701 -37= 1664
1664 – 61 = 1603
1603 – 91 = 1512
1512 -127= 1385 .
1385 – 169= 1216
1216 – 217 = 999
999 – 271 =728
728 – 331 = 397
397 – 397=0
∴ 1728 = (12)3
∴ Cube root of 1728 = 12

Question 2.
Using the method of successive subtraction, examine whether or not the following numbers are perfect cubes :
(i) 130
(ii) 345
(iii) 792
(iv) 1331
Solution:
(i) 130
130 – 1 = 129
129 -7 = 122
122 -19 = 103
103 -37 = 66
66 – 61 = 5
We see that 5 is left
∴ 130 is not a perfect cube.

(ii) 345
345 – 1 = 344
344 – 7 = 337
337 – 19 = 318
318 – 37 = 281
81 – 61 =220
220 – 91 = 129
129 – 127 = 2
We see that 2 is left
∴ 345 is not a perfect cube.

(iii) 792
792 – 1 = 791
791 – 7 = 784
784 – 19 = 765
765 – 37 = 728
728 – 61 = 667
667 – 91 = 576
576 – 127 = 449
449 – 169 = 280
∴ We see 280 is left as 280 <217
∴ 792 is not a perfect cube.

(iv) 1331
1331 – 1 = 1330
1330 -7 = 1323
1323 – 19 = 1304
1304 – 37 = 1267
1267 – 61 = 1206
1206 – 91 = 1115
1115 – 127 = 988
988 – 169 = 819
819 – 217 = 602
602 – 271 = 331
331 – 331 =0
∴ 1331 is a perfect cube

Question 3.
Find the smallest number that must be subtracted from those of the numbers in question 2, which are not perfect cubes, to make them perfect cubes. What are the corresponding cube roots ?
Solution:
We have examined in Question 2, the numbers 130, 345 and 792 are not perfect cubes. Therefore
(i) 130
130 – 1 = 129
129 -7= 122
122 -19 = 103
103 – 37 = 66
66 – 61 = 5
Here 5 is left
∴ 5 < 91 5 is to be subtracted to get a perfect cube.
Cube root of 130 – 5 = 125 is 5

(ii) 345
345 – 1 = 344
344 -7 = 337
337 – 19 = 318
318 – 37 = 281
281 – 61 =220
220 – 91 = 129
129 – 127 = 2
Here 2 is left ∵ 2 < 169
∴ Cube root of 345 – 2 = 343 is 7
∴ 2 is to be subtracted to get a perfect cube.

(iii) 792
792 – 1 = 791
791 – 7 = 784
784 – 19 = 765
765 – 37 = 728
728 – 61 =667
667 – 91 = 576 5
76 – 127 = 449
449 – 169 = 280
280 – 217 = 63
∴ 63 <217
∴ 63 is to be subtracted
∴ Cube root of 792 – 63 = 729 is 9
