ABCD is a rhombus.
Question: ABCDis a rhombus. If ACB= 40, find ADB. Solution: In a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular. $\therefore \angle \mathrm{BPC}=90^{\circ}$ From $\Delta$ BPC, the sum of angles is $180^{\circ}$. $\therefore \angle \mathrm{CB} P+\angle \mathrm{BP} C+\angle P B C=180^{\circ}$ $\angle \mathrm{CB} P=180^{\circ}-\angle \mathrm{BP} C-\angle P B C$ $\angle \mathrm{CBP}=180^{\circ}-40^{\circ}-90^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$ $\angle A D B=\angle \mathrm{CBP}=50^{\circ}$ (alternate angle)...

Question: The diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular to each other. Is such a quadrilateral always a rhombus? If your answer is 'No', draw a figure to justify your answer. Solution: No, it is not so. Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular and bisect each other. Along with this, all of its sides are equal. In the figure given below, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other, but do not bisect each other....

Question: In a parallelogramABCD,AB= 10 cm,AD= 6 cm. The bisector of AmeetsDCinE,AEandBCproduced meet atF. Find te lengthCF. Solution: $\mathrm{AE}$ is the bisector of $\angle \mathrm{A}$. $\therefore \angle \mathrm{DAE}=\angle \mathrm{BAE}=x$ $\angle \mathrm{BAE}=\angle \mathrm{AED}=x$ (alternate angles) Since opposite angles in $\Delta \mathrm{ADE}$ are equal, $\Delta \mathrm{ADE}$ is an isosceles triangle. $\therefore \mathrm{AD}=\mathrm{DE}=6 \mathrm{~cm}$ (sides opposite to equal angles) $\...
