Geometry Polynomials
1. **Problem:** A diagonal of a rectangle is inclined to one side at 25°. Find the acute angle between the diagonals.
2. **Formula:** In a rectangle, diagonals are equal and bisect each other. The angle between diagonals can be found using the angle between one diagonal and a side.
3. **Step:** Since one diagonal makes 25° with a side, the angle between diagonals is twice this angle because diagonals are symmetric about the rectangle's center.
4. **Calculation:** Acute angle between diagonals = $2 \times 25^\circ = 50^\circ$.
5. **Answer:** Option (a) 50°.

20. **Answer:** DE = 4 cm and DE || BC.
21. **Problem:** In trapezium ABCD, angles: ∠D = 2x + 10°, ∠C = 92°, ∠A = x + 20°, ∠B = y. Find x and y.
22. **Formula:** Sum of interior angles = 360°.
23. **Equation:** (2x + 10) + 92 + (x + 20) + y = 360.
24. **Simplify:** 3x + y + 122 = 360 → y = 238 - 3x.
25. **Property:** In trapezium, consecutive angles between parallel sides are supplementary.
26. **Assuming AB || CD:** ∠A + ∠D = 180 → (x + 20) + (2x + 10) = 180 → 3x + 30 = 180 → 3x = 150 → x = 50.
27. **Find y:** y = 238 - 3(50) = 238 - 150 = 88°.
