Question 1.
In the figure, compute the area of the quadrilateral.
Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals RD Sharma Solutions
Solution:
In the quadrilateral ABCD,
∠A = 90°, ∠CBD = 90°, AD = 9 cm, BC = 8 cm and CD = 17 cm
RD Sharma Book Class 9 PDF Free Download Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
In right ∆BCD,
CD = BC2 + BD2 (Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ (17)2 = (8)2 + BD2
⇒ 289 = 64 + BD2
⇒ BD2 = 289 – 64 = 225 = (15)2
∴ BD = 15 cm
Now in right ∆ABD,
BD2 = AB2 + AD2
⇒ (15)2 = AB2 + (9)2
⇒ 225 = AB2 + 81
⇒ AB2= 225 – 81 = 144 = (12)2
∴ AB = 12 cm

Question 3.
Compute the area of trapezium PQRS in the figure.
Solution Of Rd Sharma Class 9 Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
Solution:
In ∆TQR, ∠RTQ = 90°
∴ QR2 = TQ2 + RT2
⇒ (17)2 = (8)2 + RT2
⇒ 289 = 64 + RT2
⇒ RT2 = 289 – 64 = 225 = (15)2
∴ RT = 15 cm
and PQ = 8 + 8 = 16 cm

Question 4.
In the figure, ∠AOB = 90°, AC = BC, OA = 12 cm and OC = 6.5 cm. Find the area of ∆AOB.
RD Sharma Class 9 Questions Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
Solution:
In ∆AOB, ∠AOB = 90°
C is a point on AB such that AC = BC Join OC
Maths RD Sharma Class 9 Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
Since C is the mid-point of hypotenuse of right ∆AOB
∴ AC = CB = OC = 6.5 cm
∴ AB = 6.5 + 6.5 = 13 cm
Now in right ∆AOB
⇒ AB2 = AO2 + OB(Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ (13)2 = (12)2 + OB2
⇒ 169 = 144 + OB2
⇒ OB2 = 169 – 144 = 25 = (5)2
∴ OB = 5 cm

RD Sharma Solutions Class 9 Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals

Question 6.
In the figure, OCDE is a rectangle inscribed in a quadrant of a circle of radius 10 cm.If OE = 2 5–√ , find the area of the rectangle.
RD Sharma Class 9 PDF Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
Solution:
Radius of the quadrant of circle = 25–√ units
∴ OD diagonal of rectangle = 10 units (∵ OD = OB = OA = 10 cm)
DE = 2 5–√ cm
∴ In right ∆OED,
OD2 = OE2 + DEv
(10)2 = OE2 + (25–√)2
100 = OE2 + 20
OE2 = 100 – 20 = 80
⇒ OE2 = (45–√)2
∴ OE = 45–√ cm
∴ Area of rectangle = lxb
= DE x OE
= 25–√ x 45–√
= 8 x 5 = 40 cm2

Question 7.
In the figure, ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC. Prove that ar( ∆AOD = ar(∆BOC).
Quadrilaterals Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions
Solution:
In trapezium ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O
∴ ∆ADB and ∆ACB are on the same base AB and between the same parallels
∴ ar(∆ADB = ar(∆ACD)
Subtracting, ar(AAOB) from both sides,
ar(∆ADB) – ar(∆AOB) = ar(∆ACD) – ar(∆AOB)
⇒ ar(∆AOD) = ar(∆BOC)

Question 8.
In the figure, ABCD, ABFE and CDEF are parallelograms. Prove that ar(∆ADE) = ar(∆BCF) [NCERT]
RD Sharma Class 9 Solution Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
Solution:
Given : In the figure, ABCD, ABEF and CDEF are ||gms
To prove : ar(∆ADE) = ar(∆BCF)
Proof: ∴ ABCD is a ||gm
∴ AD = BC
Similarly, in ||gm ABEF
AE = BF
and in ||gm CDEF,
DE = CF
Now, in ∆ADE and ∆BCF
AD = BC (proved)
DE = CF (proved)
AE = BF (proved)
∴ ∆ADE ≅ ∆BCF
∴ ar(∆ADE) = ar(∆BCF) (∵ Congruent triangles are equal in area)

(i) ar(∆ADO) = or (∆CDO)
(ii) ar(∆ABP) = ar(∆CBP).
Solution:
Given : In ||gm ABCD, Diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O
P is any point on BO
AP and CP are joined
Solution Of Rd Sharma Class 9 Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
To prove :
(i) ar(∆ADO) = ar(∆CDO)
(ii) ar(∆ABP) = ar(∆CBP)
Proof:
(i) In ∆ADC,
O is the mid point of AC
∴ ar(∆ADO) = ar(∆CDO)
(ii) Since O is the mid point of AC
∴ PO is the median of ∆APC
∴ af(∆APO) = or(∆CPO) …(i)
Similarly, BO is the median of ∆ABC
∴ ar(∆ABO) = ar(∆BCO) …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
ar(∆ABO) – ar(∆APO) = ar(∆BCO) – ar( ∆CPO)
⇒ ar(∆ABP) = ar(∆CBP)
Hence proved.

Proof : In ∆POA and ∆QOC,
OA = OC (O is mid-point of AC)
∠AOD = ∠COQ (Vertically opposite angles)
∠APO = ∠CQO (Alternate angles)
∴ ar(∆POA) ≅ ar(∆QOC) (AAS criterian)
∴ ar(∆POA) = ar(∆QOC)

CP || AE and CY || BA
Class 9 RD Sharma Solutions Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
To prove :
(i) Name a triangle equal in area of ∆CBX
(ii) Prove that ar(∆ZDE) = ar(∆CZA)
(iii) ar(BCZY) = ar(∆EDZ)
Proof:
(i) ∆CBX and ∆CYX are on the same base BY and between same parallels.
∴ ar(∆CBX) = ar(∆CYX)

(ii) ∆ADE and ∆ACE are on the same base AE
and between the same parallels (AE || CD)
∴ ar(∆ADE) = ar(∆ACE)
Subtracting ar(∆AZE) from both sides
⇒ ar(∆ADE) – ar(∆AZE) = ar(∆ACE) – ar(∆AZE)
⇒ ar(∆ZDE) = ar(∆ACZ)
⇒ ar∆ZDE = ar∆CZA

(iii) ∵ As ACY and BCY are on the same base CY and between the same parallels
∴ ar(∆ACY) = ar(∆BCY)
Now ar(∆ACZ) = ar(∆ZDE) (Proved)
⇒ ar(∆ACY) + ar(∆CYZ) = ar(∆EDZ)
⇒ ar(∆BCY) + ar(∆CYZ) = ar(∆EDZ)
∴ ar quad. (BCZY) = ar(EDZ)
Hence proved.

Question 22.
In the figure, PSD A is a parallelogram in which PQ = QR = RS and AP || BQ || CR. Prove that ar(∆PQE) = ar(∆CFD).
Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals RD Sharma Solutions
Solution:
Given : In the figure, PSDA is a ||gm in
which PQ = QR = RS and
AP || BQ || CR || DS
To prove : ar(∆PQE) = ar(∆CFD)
Construction : Join PD

Proof : ∵ PA || BQ || CR || DS
and PQ – QR = RS (Given)
∴ AB = BC = CD
∴ PQ = CD

Now in ABED, F is mid point of ED
∴ EF = FD
Similarly, EF = PE
⇒ PE = FD

In ∆PQE and ∆CFD,
∴ ∠EPQ = ∠FDC (Alternate angles)
PQ = CD
PE = FD (Proved)
∴ APQE ≅ ACFD (SAS cirterion)
∴ ar(∆PQE) = ar(∆CFD)

Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, X and Y are the mid pionts of AC and AB respectively. Through A, a line parallel to BC is drawn. Join BX and CY and produce them to meet the parallel line through A, at P and Q respectively and intersect each other at O.
To prove : ar(∆ABP) = ar(∆ACQ)
Construction : Join XY and produce it to both sides

Proof : ∵ X and Y are mid points of sides AC and AB
∴ XY || BC
Similarly, XY || PQ
∆BXY and ∆CXY are on the same base XY and between the same parallels
∴ ar(∆BXY) = ar(∆CXY) …(i)

Now, trap. XYAP and trap. XYAQ are on the same base XY and between the same parallels
∴ ar(XYAP) = ar(XYAQ) …(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
∴ ar(∆BXY) + ar(∆YAP)
= ar(CXY) + ar(XYAQ)
⇒ ar(∆ABP) = ar(∆ACQ)

Given : Two ||gm ABCD and ||gm AEFD are on the same base AD. EF is produced to meet CD at Q. Join AF and PD also
To prove :
(i) PE = FQ
(ii) ar(∆APE) : ar(∆PFA) = ar(∆QFD) : ar(∆PFD)
(iii) ar(∆PEA) = ar(∆QFD)
Maths RD Sharma Class 9 Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
Proof:
(i) In ∆AEP and DFQ,
AE = DF (Opposite sides of a ||gm)
∠AEP = ∠DFQ (Corresponding angles)
∠APE = ∠DQF (Corresponding angles)
∴ ∆AEP ≅ ∆DFQ (AAS axiom)
∴ PE = QF (c.p.c.t.)
(ii) and ar(∆AEP) = ar(∆DFQ) …(i)

(iii) ∵ ∆PFA and ∆PFD are on the same base PF and between the same parallels
∴ ar(∆PFA) = ar(∆PFD) …(ii)

Question 27.
In the figure, ABCD is a ||gm. O is any point on AC. PQ || AB and LM || AD. Prove that ar(||gm DLOP) = ar(||gm BMOQ).
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
Solution:
Given : In ||gm ABCD, O is any point on diagonal AC. PQ || AB and LM || BC
To prove : ar(||gm DLOP) = ar(||gm BMOQ)
Proof : ∵ Since, a diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.
∴ ar(∆ADC) = or(∆ABC)
⇒ ar(∆APO) + or(||gm DLOP) + ar(∆OLC)
= ar(∆AOM) + ar(||gm BMOQ) + ar( ∆OQC) …(i)

Since, AO and OC are diagonals of parallelograms AMOP and OQCL respectively,
∴ ar(∆APO) = ar(∆AMO) …(ii)
And, ar(∆OLC) = ar(∆OQC) …(Hi)
Subtracting (ii) and (iii) from (i), we get ar(||gm DLOP) = ar(||gm BMOQ)

Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC,
L and M are mid points on AB and AC
LM, LC and MB are joined
RD Sharma Solutions Class 9 Chapter 14 Quadrilaterals
To prove :
(i) ar(∆LCM) = or(∆LBM)
(ii) ar(∆LBC) = ar(∆MBC)
(iii) ar(∆ABM) = ar(∆ACL)
(iv) ar(∆LOB) = ar(∆MOC)
Proof: ∵ L and M are the mid points of AB and AC
∴ LM || BC

(i) Now ∆LBM and ∆LCM are on the same base LM and between the same parallels
∴ar(∆LBM) = ar(∆LCM) …(i)
⇒ ar(∆LCM) = ar(∆LBM)

(ii) ∵ ∆LBC and ∆MBC are on the same base
BC and between the same parallels
∴ ar(∆LBC) = ar(∆MBC) …(ii)

(iii) a(∆LMB) = ar(∆LMC) [From (i)]
⇒ ar(∆ALM) + ar(∆LMB)
= ar(∆ALM) + ar(∆LMC) [Adding or(∆ALM) to both sides]
⇒ ar(∆ABM) = ar(∆ACL)

(iv) ∵ ar(∆LBC) = ar(∆MBC) [From (ii)]
⇒ ar(∆LBC) – ar(∆BOC) = ar(∆MBC) – ar(∆BOC)
ar(∆LBO) = ar(∆MOC)

Quadrilaterals With Solutions PDF RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, ∠A = 90°
BCED, ACFG and ABMN are squares on the sides BC, CA and AB respectively
AX ⊥ DE meeting DE at X

To prove :
(i) ∆MBC ≅ ∆ABD
(ii) ar(BYXD) = 2ar(∆MBC)
(iii) ar(BYXD) = ar(ABMN)
(iv) ∆FCB ≅ ∆ACE
(v) ar(CYXE) = 2ar(∆FCB)
(vi) ar(CYXE) = ar(ACFG)
(vii) ar(BCED) = or(AMBN) + ar(ACFG)
Construction : Join AD, AE, BF and CM

Proof:
(i) In ∆MBC and ∆ABD,
MB=AB (Sides of square)
BC = BD
∠MBC = ∠ABD (Each angle = 90° + ∠ABC)
∴ ∆MBC ≅ ∆ABD (SAS criterian)
∴ ar(∆MBC) = ar(∆ABD) …(i)

(ii) ∵ ∆ABD and rectangle BYXD are on the same base BD and between the same parallels
∴ ar(∆ABD) = 12 ar(rect. BYXD)
⇒ ar(rect. BYXD) = 2ar(∆ABD)
⇒ ar(rect. BYXD) = 2ar(∆MBC) …(ii)

(iii) Similarly, ∆MBC and square MBAN are on the same base MB and between the same parallels
∴ ar(∆MBC) = ar(sq. ABMN) …(iii)
From (ii) and (iii)
ar(sq. ∆BMN) = ar(rect. BYXD)

(iv) In AFCB and ∆ACE,
FC = AC
CB = CE (Sides of squares)
∠FCB = ∠ACE (Each = 90° + ∠ACB)
∴ ∆FCB = ∆ACE (SAS criterian)

(v) ∵ ∆FCB ≅ ∆ACE (Proved)
∴ ar(∆FCB) = ar(∆ACE)
∵∆ACE and rectangle CYXE are on the same base and between the same parallels
∴ 2ar(∆ACE) = ar(CYXC)
⇒ 2ar(∆FCB) = ar(CYXE) …(iv)

(vi) ∵ AFCB and rectangle FCAG are on the base FC and between the same parallels
∴ 2ar(∆FCB) = ar(FCAG) …(v)
From (iv) and (v)
ar(CMXE) = ar(ACFG)

(vii) In ∆ACB.
BC2 = AB2 + AC2 (By Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ BC x BD = AB x MB + AC x FC
⇒ ar(BCED) = ar(ABMN) + ar(ACFG)
Hence proved.
