A 120° B
X = 120°,y =60° P Q
C
X = 65°

Q.IV Solve the following.


1. In the given figure, find the value of x + y + z. D
A
z
x 90
x + y + z = 140 + 130 + 90 = 360
40 C
E B
y F
2. For the given rhombus ABCD, find the value of x. Also find the length of the side of
the rhombus, if AC = 8 cm and BD = 6 cm. D C
O
56° x°

A B
Since diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles
BOC = 90°
Now  DAO = angle BCO = 56° (alternate interior angles)
In ΔBOC, we have
Angle OBC + BCO + COB = 180°
 x° + 56° + 90° = 180°
 x° = + = 180° - (56° + 90°) = 34°
1 1
Now OB = DB = 3 cm and OC = AC = 4 cm (since diagonals bisect each other at
2 2
right angles)
Using Pythagoras theorem, in ΔCOB
(OC)2 + (OB) 2 = (CB) 2
 32 + 42 = (CB) 2
 CB = 5 cm
Hence each side of the rhombus is 5 cm
3. In the adjoining figure, PQRS is a kite such that its diagonals intersect at O.
If QPO = 30° and QSR = 65° find:
P
(a) QPS (b)  PQR
30°
S
Q
O 65°

Ans:  QPS = 2 QPO = 2 × 30 = 60°


PQR = 125°
4. In the given figure, ABCD is a rhombus. Find the values of x, y and z.

x = 13 cm, y = 12 cm, z = 5cm
