Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals NCERT Solutions Class 9 Mathematics
Exercise 8.1
Q.1) The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 ∶ 5 ∶ 9 ∶ 13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.
Sol.1) Suppose the measures of four angles are 3𝑥, 5𝑥, 9𝑥 and 13𝑥.
∴ 3𝑥 + 5𝑥 + 9𝑥 + 13𝑥 = 360° [Angle sum property of a quadrilateral]
⇒ 30𝑥 = 360°
⇒ 𝑥 = 360/30 = 12°
⇒ 3𝑥 = 3 × 12° = 36°
5𝑥 = 5 × 12° = 60°
9𝑥 = 9 × 12° = 108°
13𝑥 = 13 × 12° = 156°
∴ the angles of the quadrilateral are 36°, 60°, 108° and 156° Ans.
Q.2) If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then show that it is a rectangle.
Sol.2) Given : ABCD is a parallelogram in which 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐷.
To Prove : ABCD is a rectangle.
Proof : In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 and Δ𝐴𝐵𝐷
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐵 [Common]
𝐵𝐶 = 𝐴𝐷 [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐷 [Given]
∴ Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ Δ𝐵𝐴𝐷 [SSS congruence]
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 ...(i) [CPCT]
Since, ABCD is a parallelogram, thus,
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 + ∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 = 180° ...(ii) [Consecutive interior angles]
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 + ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = 180°
∴ 2∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = 180° [From (i) and (ii)]
⇒ ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 = 90°
This shows that ABCD is a parallelogram one of whose angle is 90°.
Hence, ABCD is a rectangle. Proved.
Q.3) Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles, then it is a rhombus.
Sol.3) Given : A quadrilateral ABCD, in which diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at right angles.
To Prove : ABCD is a rhombus.
Proof : In Δ𝐴𝑂𝐵 and Δ𝐵𝑂𝐶
𝐴𝑂 = 𝑂𝐶 [Diagonals AC and BD bisect each other]
∠𝐴𝑂𝐵 = ∠𝐶𝑂𝐵 [Each = 90°]
𝐵𝑂 = 𝐵𝑂 [Common]
∴ Δ𝐴𝑂𝐵 ≅ Δ𝐵𝑂𝐶 [SAS congruence]
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐶 ...(i) [CPCT]
Since, ABCD is a quadrilateral in which
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐶 [From (i)]
Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.
[∵ if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then it is a parallelogram and
opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal] Proved.
Q.4) Show that the diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles.
Sol.4) Given : ABCD is a square in which AC and BD are diagonals.
To Prove : 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐷 and AC bisects BD at right angles, i.e. 𝐴𝐶 ⊥ 𝐵𝐷.
𝐴𝑂 = 𝑂𝐶, 𝑂𝐵 = 𝑂𝐷
Proof : In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 and Δ𝐵𝐴𝐷,
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐵 [Common]
𝐵𝐶 = 𝐴𝐷 [Sides of a square]
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 = 90° [Angles of a square]
∴ Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ Δ𝐵𝐴𝐷 [SAS congruence]
⇒ 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐷 [CPCT]
Now in Δ𝐴𝑂𝐵 and Δ𝐶𝑂𝐷,
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐷𝐶 [Sides of a square]
∠𝐴𝑂𝐵 = ∠𝐶𝑂𝐷 [Vertically opposite angles]
∠𝑂𝐴𝐵 = ∠𝑂𝐶𝐷 [Alternate angles]
∴ Δ𝐴𝑂𝐵 ≅ Δ𝐶𝑂𝐷 [AAS congruence]
∠𝐴𝑂 = ∠𝑂𝐶 [CPCT]
Similarly by taking Δ𝐴𝑂𝐷 and Δ𝐵𝑂𝐶, we can show that 𝑂𝐵 = 𝑂𝐷.
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶, ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 + ∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 = 90° [ ∠𝐵 = 90°]
⇒ 2∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 = 90° [∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐶𝐴, 𝑎𝑠 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐴𝐷]
⇒ ∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 = 45° 𝑜𝑟 ∠𝐵𝐶𝑂 = 45°
Similarly ∠𝐶𝐵𝑂 = 45°
In Δ𝐵𝐶𝑂.
∠𝐵𝐶𝑂 + ∠𝐶𝐵𝑂 + ∠𝐵𝑂𝐶 = 180°
⇒ 90° + ∠𝐵𝑂𝐶 = 180°
⇒ ∠𝐵𝑂𝐶 = 90°
⇒ 𝐵𝑂 ⊥ 𝑂𝐶 ⇒ 𝐵𝑂 ⊥ 𝐴𝐶
Hence, 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐷, 𝐴𝐶 ⊥ 𝐵𝐷, 𝐴𝑂 = 𝑂𝐶 and 𝑂𝐵 = 𝑂𝐷. Proved.
Q.5) Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other at right angles, then it is a square.
Sol.5) Given : A quadrilateral ABCD, in which
diagonals AC and BD are equal and bisect
each other at right angles,
To Prove : ABCD is a square.
Proof : Since ABCD is a quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other, so it is a parallelogram. Also, its diagonals bisect each other at right angles, therefore, ABCD is a rhombus.
⇒ 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐶𝐷 = 𝐷𝐴 [Sides of a rhombus]
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 and Δ𝐵𝐴𝐷, we have
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐵 [Common]
𝐵𝐶 = 𝐴𝐷 [Sides of a rhombus]
𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐷 [Given]
∴ Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ Δ𝐵𝐴𝐷 [SSS congruence]
∴ ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 [CPCT]
But, ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 + ∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐴𝐷 = 90°
∠𝐴 = ∠𝐵 = ∠𝐶 = ∠𝐷 = 90° [Opposite angles of a ||𝑔𝑚]
⇒ ABCD is a rhombus whose angles are of 90° each.
Hence, ABCD is a square. Proved.
Q.6) Diagonal AC of a parallelogram 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 bisects ∠𝐴 (see Fig.). Show that
(i) it bisects ∠𝐶 also,
(ii) 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 is a rhombus.
Sol.6) To Prove :
(i) Diagonal AC bisects ∠𝐶 i.e., ∠𝐷𝐶𝐴 = ∠𝐵𝐶𝐴
(ii) ABCD is a rhombus.
Proof :
(i) ∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 [Alternate angles]
∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 = ∠𝐷𝐶𝐴 [Alternate angles]
But, ∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 [Given]
∴ ∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 = ∠𝐷𝐶𝐴
Hence, 𝐴𝐶 bisects ∠𝐷𝐶𝐵
Or, 𝐴𝐶 bisects ∠𝐶 Proved.
(ii) In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 and Δ𝐶𝐷𝐴
𝐴𝐶 = 𝐴𝐶 [Common]
∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 = ∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 [Given]
and ∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 = ∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 [Proved above]
∴ Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ Δ𝐴𝐷𝐶 [ASA congruence]
∴ 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐷𝐶 [CPCT]
But 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐷𝐶 [Given]
∴ 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐷𝐶 = 𝐴𝐷 [∵ opposite angles are equal]
Hence, ABCD is a rhombus Proved.
Q.7) ABCD is a rhombus. Show that diagonal 𝐴𝐶 bisects ∠ 𝐴 as well as ∠𝐶 and diagonal BD bisects ∠𝐵 as well as ∠𝐷.
Sol.7) Given : ABCD is a rhombus, i.e.,
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐶𝐷 = 𝐷𝐴.
To Prove : ∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶,
∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 = ∠𝐷𝐶𝐴
∠𝐴𝐷𝐵 = ∠𝐶𝐷𝐵, ∠𝐴𝐵𝐷 = ∠𝐶𝐵𝐷
Proof : In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 and Δ𝐶𝐷𝐴, we have
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐷 [Sides of a rhombus]
𝐴𝐶 = 𝐴𝐶 [Common]
𝐵𝐶 = 𝐶𝐷 [Sides of a rhombus]
Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ Δ𝐴𝐷𝐶 [SSS congruence]
So, ∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 = ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 [CPCT]
∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 = ∠𝐷𝐶𝐴 [CPCT]
Similarly, ∠𝐴𝐷𝐵 = ∠𝐶𝐷𝐵 and ∠𝐴𝐵𝐷 = ∠𝐶𝐵𝐷.
Hence, diagonal AC bisects ∠𝐴 as well as ∠𝐶 and diagonal BD bisects ∠𝐵 as well as ∠𝐷. Proved.
Q.8) ABCD is a rectangle in which diagonal AC bisects ∠ 𝐴 as well as ∠𝐶. Show that :
(i) ABCD is a square (ii) diagonal BD bisects ∠𝐵 as well as ∠𝐷.
Sol.8) Given : ABCD is a rectangle in which diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠𝐶.
To Prove : (i) ABCD is a square.
(ii) Diagonal BD bisects ∠𝐵 as well as ∠𝐷.
Proof : (i) In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 and Δ𝐴𝐷𝐶, we have
∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 = ∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 [Given]
∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 = ∠𝐷𝐶𝐴 [Given]
𝐴𝐶 = 𝐴𝐶
∴ Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ Δ𝐴𝐷𝐶 [ASA congruence]
∴ 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐷 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶𝐵 = 𝐶𝐷 [CPCT]
But, in a rectangle opposite sides are equal, i.e., 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐷𝐶 and 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐴𝐷
∴ 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐶𝐷 = 𝐷𝐴
Hence, ABCD is a square Proved.
(ii) In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐷 and Δ𝐶𝐷𝐵, we have
𝐴𝐷 = 𝐶𝐷
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐶𝐷 [Sides of a square]
𝐵𝐷 = 𝐵𝐷 [Common]
∴ Δ𝐴𝐵𝐷 ≅ Δ𝐶𝐵𝐷 [SSS congruence]
So, ∠𝐴𝐵𝐷 = ∠𝐶𝐵𝐷
∠𝐴𝐷𝐵 = ∠𝐶𝐷𝐵
Hence, diagonal BD bisects ∠𝐵 as well as ∠𝐷 Proved.
Q.9) In parallelogram ABCD, two points P and Q are taken on diagonal BD such that DP = BQ (see Fig.). Show that :
(i) Δ 𝐴𝑃𝐷 ≅ Δ𝐶𝑄𝐵

To Prove : (i) Δ𝐴𝑃𝐷 ≅ Δ𝐶𝑄𝐵
(ii) 𝐴𝑃 = 𝐶𝑄
(iii) Δ𝐴𝑄𝐵 ≅ Δ𝐶𝑃𝐷
(iv) 𝐴𝑄 = 𝐶𝑃
(𝑣) 𝐴𝑃𝐶𝑄 is a parallelogram
Proof : (i) In Δ𝐴𝑃𝐷 and Δ𝐶𝑄𝐵, we have
𝐴𝐷 = 𝐵𝐶 [Opposite sides of a ||𝑔𝑚]
𝐷𝑃 = 𝐵𝑄 [Given]
∠ADP = ∠CBQ [Alternate angles]
∴ Δ𝐴𝑃𝐷 ≅ Δ𝐶𝑄𝐵 [SAS congruence]
(ii) ∴ 𝐴𝑃 = 𝐶𝑄 [CPCT]
(iii) In Δ𝐴𝑄𝐵 and Δ𝐶𝑃𝐷, we have
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐶𝐷 [Opposite sides of a ||gm]
𝐷𝑃 = 𝐵𝑄 [Given]
∠𝐴𝐵𝑄 = ∠𝐶𝐷𝑃 [Alternate angles]
∴ Δ𝐴𝑄𝐵 ≅ Δ𝐶𝑃𝐷 [SAS congruence]
(iv) ∴ 𝐴𝑄 = 𝐶𝑃 [CPCT]
(v) Since in 𝐴𝑃𝐶𝑄, opposite sides are equal, therefore it is a parallelogram. Proved.
Q.10) ABCD is a parallelogram and AP and CQ are perpendiculars from vertices A and C on diagonal BD (see Fig.). Show that
(i) Δ 𝐴𝑃𝐵 ≅ Δ𝐶𝑄𝐷
(ii) 𝐴𝑃 = 𝐶𝑄
Sol.10) Given : ABCD is a parallelogram and AP

Sol.2) Given : ABCD is a rhombus in which P, Q, R and S are mid points of sides AB, BC, CD and
DA respectively :
To Prove : PQRS is a rectangle.
Construction : Join AC, PR and SQ.
Proof : In ΔABC, P is mid-point of AB [Given]
Q is mid-point of BC [Given]
⇒ 𝑃𝑄 || 𝐴𝐶 and 𝑃𝑄 = 1/2 𝐴𝐶 ...(i) [Mid point theorem]
Similarly, in Δ𝐷𝐴𝐶, 𝑆𝑅 || 𝐴𝐶 and 𝑆𝑅 = 1/2 𝐴𝐶 ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
𝑃𝑄||𝑆𝑅 and 𝑃𝑄 = 𝑆𝑅
⇒ 𝑃𝑄𝑅𝑆 is a parallelogram [One pair of opposite sides is parallel and equal]
Since ABQS is a parallelogram
⇒ 𝐴𝐵 = 𝑆𝑄 [Opposite sides of a || 𝑔𝑚]

𝑆𝑅 || 𝐴𝐶 and 𝑆𝑅 = 1/2 𝐴𝐶 ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
𝑃𝑄 || 𝑆𝑅 and 𝑃𝑄 = 𝑆𝑅 ...(iii)
Now in quadrilateral PQRS, its one pair of opposite
sides PQ and SR is parallel and equal [From (iii)]
∴ 𝑃𝑄𝑅𝑆 is a parallelogram.
Now 𝐴𝐷 = 𝐵𝐶 ...(iv) [Opposite sides of a rectangle ABCD]
∴ 1/2 𝐴𝐷 = 1/2 𝐵𝐶

In Δ𝐴𝑃𝑆 and Δ𝐵𝑃𝑄
𝐴𝑃 = 𝐵𝑃 [∵ P is the mid-point of AB]
𝐴𝑆 = 𝐵𝑄 [Proved above]
∠𝑃𝐴𝑆 = ∠𝑃𝐵𝑄 [Each = 90°]

⇒ 𝐴𝐸 = 12 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐶𝐹 = 12 𝐷𝐶 ...(i)
But, 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐷𝐶 and 𝐴𝐵 || 𝐷𝐶 ...(ii) [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
∴ 𝐴𝐸 = 𝐶𝐹 and 𝐴𝐸 || 𝐶𝐹.
⇒ 𝐴𝐸𝐶𝐹 is a parallelogram. [One pair of opposite sides is parallel and equal]
In Δ𝐵𝐴𝑃, 𝐸 is the mid-point of 𝐴𝐵, 𝐸𝑄 || 𝐴𝑃

∴ 𝐸𝐹 = 1/2 𝐴𝐶 and 𝐸𝐹 || 𝐴𝐶 ...(i)
In Δ𝐴𝐷𝐶, 𝐻 and G are mid-points of AD and CD respectively.
∴ 𝐻𝐺 = 1/2 𝐴𝐶 and 𝐻𝐺 || 𝐴𝐶 ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
𝐸𝐹 = 𝐻𝐺 and 𝐸𝐹 || 𝐻𝐺
∴ 𝐸𝐹𝐺𝐻 is a parallelogram. [∵ a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its one pair of

D is the mid-point of AC [Converse of mid-point theorem] Proved.
(ii) ∠𝐴𝐷𝑀 = ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 [∵ Coresponding angles]
But ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 = 90° [Given]
∴ ∠𝐴𝐷𝑀 = 90°
But ∠𝐴𝐷𝑀 + ∠𝐶𝐷𝑀 = 180° [Linear pair]
∴ ∠𝐶𝐷𝑀 = 90°
Hence, 𝑀𝐷 ⊥ 𝐴𝐶 Proved.
(iii) 𝐴𝐷 = 𝐷𝐶 ...(1) [∵ 𝐷 is the mid-point of AC]
Now, in Δ𝐴𝐷𝑀 and Δ𝐶𝑀𝐷, we have
∠𝐴𝐷𝑀 = ∠𝐶𝐷𝑀 [Each = 90°]
𝐴𝐷 = 𝐷𝐶 [From (1)]
𝐷𝑀 = 𝐷𝑀 [Common]
∴ Δ𝐴𝐷𝑀 ≅ Δ𝐶𝑀𝐷 [SAS congruence]
⇒ 𝐶𝑀 = 𝑀𝐴 ...(2) [CPCT]
Since M is mid-point of AB,
∴ 𝑀𝐴 = 1/2 𝐴𝐵 ...(3)
Hence, 𝐶𝑀 = 𝑀𝐴 = 1/2 𝐴𝐵 [From (2) and (3)] Proved.
