Answer

A rectangular field is 40 m long and 30 m broad. Find the length of its diagonal. Quadrilaterals, R.S. Aggarwal Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

∠A + ∠D = 180° [sum of Co-Int. angles in ∥gm is 180°]

12A+12D\dfrac{1}{2}∠A + \dfrac{1}{2}∠D = 90°

In triangle ASD,

∠DAS + ∠SDA + ∠ASD = 180°

12A+12D\dfrac{1}{2}∠A + \dfrac{1}{2}∠D + ∠ASD = 180°

90° + ∠ASD = 180°

∠ASD = 90°

∠PSR = ∠ASD = 90° [Vertically opposite angles]

∠S = 90°

∠B + ∠C = 180° [sum of Co-Int. angles in ∥gm is 180°]

12B+12C\dfrac{1}{2}∠B + \dfrac{1}{2}∠C = 90°

In triangle BQC,

∠QCB + ∠QBC + ∠CQB = 180°

12C+12B\dfrac{1}{2}∠C + \dfrac{1}{2}∠B + ∠CQB = 180°

90° + ∠CQB = 180°

∠CQB = 90°

∠PQR = ∠CQB = 90° [Vertically opposite angles]

∠Q = 90°

∠A + ∠B = 180° [sum of Co-Int. angles in ∥gm is 180°]

12A+12B\dfrac{1}{2}∠A + \dfrac{1}{2}∠B= 90°

In triangle APB,

12A+12B\dfrac{1}{2}∠A + \dfrac{1}{2}∠B + ∠APB = 180°

90° + ∠APB = 180°

∠APB = 90°

∠P = 90°

In quadrilateral PQRS,

By angle sum property of quadrilateral:

∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360°

90° + 90° + ∠R + 90° = 360°

∠R + 270° = 360°

∠R = 360° - 270°

∠R = 90°

Since, all angles of PQRS = 90°

∴ PQRS is a rectangle

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
