Rectangle Angles
1. **Find all other angles inside the rectangles.**
(i) Rectangle ABCD with diagonal AC and angle at A = 30°.
- Step 1: Recall that in a rectangle, all angles are 90°.
- Step 2: Diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other.
- Step 3: Triangle ABC is formed by diagonal AC.
- Step 4: Since angle at A is 30°, angle at C (opposite vertex) is also 30° because diagonals bisect each other.
- Step 5: Angles at B and D adjacent to the diagonal are each 90° - 30° = 60°.
(ii) Rectangle PQRS with diagonal PR and angle at intersection X = 110°.
- Step 1: Diagonals bisect each other, so angles at intersection are supplementary pairs.
- Step 2: Given angle X = 110°, the adjacent angle at intersection is 180° - 110° = 70°.
- Step 3: Since diagonals bisect each other, opposite angles at intersection are equal.
- Step 4: Therefore, the four angles at intersection are 110°, 70°, 110°, and 70°.
2. **Draw quadrilaterals with diagonals of length 8 cm bisecting each other at angles:**
- Step 1: The diagonals bisecting each other means the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
- Step 2: The angle between diagonals is given (30°, 40°, 90°, 140°).
- Step 3: Construct diagonals of length 8 cm intersecting at midpoint.
- Step 4: Use the given angle between diagonals to complete the parallelogram.
3. **Figure APML formed by two perpendicular diameters PL and AM in a circle with center O.**
- Step 1: PL and AM are diameters and perpendicular.
- Step 2: Points A, P, M, L lie on the circle.
- Step 3: Quadrilateral APML has all vertices on the circle and opposite sides are diameters.
- Step 4: Since diameters are perpendicular, APML is a rectangle inscribed in the circle.
4. **Making an exact 90° angle using two sticks of equal length and a thread.**
- Step 1: Tie the thread to form a triangle with the two sticks.
- Step 2: Adjust the thread length to satisfy the Pythagorean theorem (e.g., 3-4-5 triangle).
- Step 3: The angle opposite the longest side (thread) will be exactly 90°.
5. **Is having opposite sides parallel and equal a sufficient definition of a rectangle?**
- Step 1: Opposite sides parallel and equal define a parallelogram.
- Step 2: A rectangle is a parallelogram with all angles 90°.
- Step 3: Therefore, not every parallelogram with opposite sides equal and parallel is a rectangle.
6. **Is it possible to construct a quadrilateral with three 90° angles and the fourth not 90°?**
- Step 1: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
- Step 2: If three angles are 90°, sum is 270°.
- Step 3: Fourth angle must be 360° - 270° = 90°.
- Step 4: Hence, the fourth angle must also be 90°, so such a quadrilateral is not possible.
Final answers:
- Angles in rectangle ABCD: 30°, 60°, 30°, 60° at diagonal intersections.
- Angles at diagonal intersection in PQRS: 110° and 70° alternating.
- Quadrilateral APML is a rectangle.
- 90° angle can be made using sticks and thread by forming a right triangle.
- Opposite sides parallel and equal define parallelogram, not necessarily rectangle.
- Quadrilateral with three 90° angles must have fourth 90° angle.
