1. Problem 8: Rohit has 6 wooden sticks of equal length and wants to join them to form a regular polygon. Find the internal angle between the sticks.
Formula: The internal angle of a regular polygon with $n$ sides is given by
$$\text{Internal angle} = \frac{(n-2) \times 180^\circ}{n}$$
Since $n=6$ (hexagon),
$$\text{Internal angle} = \frac{(6-2) \times 180^\circ}{6} = \frac{4 \times 180^\circ}{6} = 120^\circ$$
2. Problem 9: ABCD is a rectangle with diagonals intersecting at O. Given $OD = 4x + 9$ and $OA = 5x + 6$, find $x$.
In a rectangle, diagonals bisect each other, so $OD = OA$.
Set equal:
$$4x + 9 = 5x + 6$$
$$9 - 6 = 5x - 4x$$
$$3 = x$$
3. Problem 10: WEST is a rhombus with diagonals $WS = 24$ cm and $TE = 10$ cm. Find the length of side $WE$.
In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
Half diagonals:
$$\frac{WS}{2} = 12, \quad \frac{TE}{2} = 5$$
Using Pythagoras theorem for triangle $WEO$:
$$WE = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{144 + 25} = \sqrt{169} = 13 \text{ cm}$$
4. Problem 11: Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in ratio 2:1. Find the difference between these angles.
Let angles be $2x$ and $x$.
Sum of adjacent angles in parallelogram is $180^\circ$:
$$2x + x = 180^\circ$$
$$3x = 180^\circ$$
$$x = 60^\circ$$
Difference:
$$2x - x = x = 60^\circ$$
5. Problem 12: Find the length of diagonals of a rectangle with length 24 cm and breadth 7 cm.
Diagonal length formula:
$$d = \sqrt{l^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{576 + 49} = \sqrt{625} = 25 \text{ cm}$$
Both diagonals are equal, so both are 25 cm.
6. Problem 13: Find $x$ in trapezoid with angles 78°, 39°, 115°, and $x$.
Sum of interior angles in quadrilateral is $360^\circ$:
$$78 + 39 + 115 + x = 360$$
$$232 + x = 360$$
$$x = 360 - 232 = 128^\circ$$
7. Problem 14: Find number of diagonals in a regular 9-sided polygon.
Formula:
$$\text{Number of diagonals} = \frac{n(n-3)}{2}$$
For $n=9$:
$$\frac{9 \times 6}{2} = \frac{54}{2} = 27$$
8. Problem 15: In rectangle ABCD, diagonals intersect at O. Given $\angle CDB = 54^\circ$, find $\angle OAB$.
In rectangle, diagonals bisect each other and $\angle OAB = \frac{1}{2} \angle CDB$ (since triangle formed is isosceles right triangle properties).
So,
$$\angle OAB = \frac{54^\circ}{2} = 27^\circ$$
9. Problem 16: Find each interior angle of a regular decagon.
Formula:
$$\text{Interior angle} = \frac{(n-2) \times 180^\circ}{n}$$
For $n=10$:
$$\frac{(10-2) \times 180^\circ}{10} = \frac{8 \times 180^\circ}{10} = 144^\circ$$
