Question 1.
Is quadrilateral EFGH a convex quadrilateral ?
(ii) Is quadrilateral TUVW a concave quadrilateral?
0ii) Draw both the diagonals for quadrilateral EFGH. Do they intersect each other?
(iv) Draw both the diagonals for quadrilateral TUVW. Do they intersect each other?
You will find that the digonals of a convex quadrilateral intersect each other in the interior of the quadrilateral and the diagonals of a concave quadrilateral intersect each other in the exterior of the quadrilateral. (Page No. 229)
Solution:
i) Yes.
ii) Yes.
iii) In □ EFGH, the diagonals intersect each other.
iv) In □ TUVW, the diagonals do not interest each other.
Question 2.
What would happen if the quadrilateral is not convex ? Consider quadrilateral ABCD. Split it into two triangles and find the sum of the interior angles. What is the sum of interior angles of a concave quadrilateral. (Page No. 230)
Solution:
Sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral (convex or concave) is always equal to 360°.

Question 1.
Prove that in a kite ABCD, ΔABC, and ΔADC are congruent. (Page No. 223)
Solution:
Proof in ΔABC and ΔADC,
AB = AD (consecutive sides of the kite)
BC = DC (consecutive sides of the kite)
AC = AC (common side)
∴ By S.S.S congruency criterion ,
ΔABC ∦ ΔADC

Question 2.
From example 7 given in text book (Page No – 237) can you find m ∠I and m∠G by any other method. (Page No. 237)
Solution:
As ∠R = ∠N = 70° and ∠I = ∠G = x° say
∠R + ∠I + ∠N + ∠G = 360°
70° + x° + 70° + x° = 360°
2x = 360° – 140° = 220°
