Question 1 Maharashtra Board Solution
Diagonals of a parallelogram WXYZ intersect each other at point O. If ∠XYZ∠ = 135°, then measure of ∠XWZ and ∠YZW? If l(OY) = 5 cm, then l(WY) = ?
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
i. ∠XYZ = 135° □WXYZ is a parallelogram. ∠XWZ = ∠XYZ ∴ ∠XWZ = 135° …..(i)

ii. ∠YZW + ∠XYZ = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠YZW + 135°= 180° [From (i)]
∴ ∠YZW = 180°- 135°
∴ ∠YZW = 45°

iii. l(OY) = 5 cm [Given]
l(OY) = l(WY) [Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other]
∴ l(WY) = 2 x l(OY)
= 2 x 5
∴ l(WY) = 10 cm
∴∠XWZ = 135°, ∠YZW = 45°, l(WY) = 10 cm

Question 2 Maharashtra Board Solution
In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠A = (3x + 12)°, ∠B = (2x – 32)°, then liptl the value of x and the measures of ∠C and ∠D.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given] ∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary], ∴ (3x + 12)° + (2x-32)° = 180° ∴ 3x + 12 + 2x – 32 = 180 ∴ 5x – 20 = 180 ∴ 5x= 180 + 20 ∴ 5x = 200 ∴ x = ∴ x = 40

ii. ∠A = (3x + 12)°
= [3(40) + 12]°
=(120 +12)°= 132°
∠B = (2x – 32)°
= [2(40) – 32]°
= (80 – 32)° = 48°
∴ ∠C = ∠A = 132°
∠D = ∠B = 48° [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ The value of x is 40, and the measures of ∠C and ∠D are 132° and 48° respectively.

Question 3 Maharashtra Board Solution
Perimeter of a parallelogram is 150 cm. One of its sides is greater than the other side by 25 cm. Find the lengths of all sides.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
i. Let □ABCD be the parallelogram and the length of AD be x cm. One side is greater than the other by 25 cm. ∴ AB = x + 25 cm AD = BC = x cm AB = DC = (x + 25) cm [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]

ii. Perimeter of □ABCD = 150 cm [Given]
∴ AB + BC + DC + AD = 150
∴ (x + 25) +x + (x + 25) + x – 150
∴ 4x + 50 = 150
∴ 4x = 150 – 50
∴ 4x = 100
∴ x =
∴ x = 25

iii. AD = BC = x = 25 cm
AB = DC = x + 25 = 25 + 25 = 50 cm
∴ The lengths of the sides of the parallelogram are 25 cm, 50 cm, 25 cm and 50 cm.

Question 4 Maharashtra Board Solution
If the ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 1 : 2, find the measures of all angles of the parallelogram.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
i. Let □ABCD be the parallelogram. The ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 1 : 2. Let the common multiple be x. ∴ ∠A = x° and ∠B = 2x° ∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary] ∴ x + 2x = 180 ∴ 3x = 180 ∴ x = ∴ x = 60

ii. ∠A = x° = 60°
∠B = 2x° = 2 x 60° = 120°
∠A = ∠C = 60°
∠B = ∠D= 120° [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ The measures of the angles of the parallelogram are 60°, 120°, 60° and 120°.

Question 5 Maharashtra Board Solution
Diagonals of a parallelogram intersect each other at point O. If AO = 5, BO show that □ABCD is a rhombus. Given: AO = 5, BO = 12 and AB = 13. To prove: □ABCD is a rhombus. Solition: Proof: AO = 5, BO = 12, AB = 13 [Given] AO2 + BO2 = 52 + 122 = 25 + 144 ∴ AO2 + BO2 = 169 …..(i) AB2 = 132 = 169 ….(ii) ∴ AB2 = AO2 + BO2 [From (i) and (ii)] ∴ ∆AOB is a right-angled triangle. [Converse of Pythagoras theorem] ∴ ∠AOB = 90° ∴ seg AC ⊥ seg BD …..(iii) [A-O-C] ∴ In parallelogram ABCD, ∴ seg AC ⊥ seg BD [From (iii)] ∴ □ABCD is a rhombus. [A parallelogram is a rhombus perpendicular to each other]
