Note: Write the answers neatly on a sheet and submit them to your school subject teacher.

(1) Why can't a quadrilateral be constructed with only four angles known?

(2) Mention one real-life situation where quadrilateral construction is necessary.

(3) Which type of quadrilateral has perpendicular diagonals but unequal sides and no symmetry?

(4) How can we verify if a quadrilateral constructed with given measurements is a rhombus?

(5) Name a quadrilateral that can be constructed using two diagonals and one included angle.

(6) What property distinguishes a kite from a rhombus during construction?

(7) How many triangles are formed by the diagonals in a quadrilateral?

(8) State a condition where construction of a quadrilateral becomes impossible even if five measurements are given.

(9) Which geometric property must always be satisfied for a figure to be called a quadrilateral?

(10) If three sides and two adjacent angles are given, which vertex should you begin constructing from?

Drag each construction scenario to its correct category:

Four sides and one diagonal given
Two diagonals and three angles given
Only four angles provided
Three sides and two adjacent angles
Two diagonals with included angle
Four sides but no angles or diagonals
Sufficient for Construction
Conditional Construction
Insufficient Data

Part B: Objective Questions

1. A quadrilateral with adjacent angles 70° and 110° is likely to be:

(a) Parallelogram (b) Trapezium (c) Rhombus (d) Rectangle

Parallelogram
Trapezium
Rhombus
Rectangle

Correct! Adjacent angles of 70° and 110° are supplementary, indicating a trapezium.

2. Which of the following ensures a unique construction of a quadrilateral?

(a) 2 sides and 3 angles (b) 4 angles only (c) 4 sides and 1 diagonal (d) 3 sides only

2 sides and 3 angles
4 angles only
4 sides and 1 diagonal
3 sides only

Excellent! 4 sides and 1 diagonal provide exactly 5 measurements for unique construction.


3. If diagonals are not given, what is the best approach to start quadrilateral construction?

(a) Draw angles (b) Draw longest side (c) Use compass to mark diagonals (d) Measure perpendicularly from an endpoint

Draw angles
Draw longest side
Use compass to mark diagonals
Measure perpendicularly from an endpoint

Perfect! Drawing the longest side first provides a stable base for construction.

4. A quadrilateral can have one pair of sides equal and the other pair not equal. It must be a:

(a) Square (b) Trapezium (c) Rhombus (d) Rectangle

Square
Trapezium
Rhombus
Rectangle

Correct! A trapezium can have one pair of parallel sides with different lengths.

5. Which of the following combinations can define a trapezium completely?

(a) 3 angles and 2 diagonals (b) 2 adjacent sides and 2 diagonals (c) 1 pair of opposite sides and 3 angles (d) 3 sides and 1 diagonal

3 angles and 2 diagonals
2 adjacent sides and 2 diagonals
1 pair of opposite sides and 3 angles
3 sides and 1 diagonal

Excellent! 3 sides and 1 diagonal provide sufficient constraints to define a trapezium uniquely.
