Quadrilaterals 


A quadrilateral is a closed plane figure bounded by four line segments. E.g. The figure ABCD shown here is a quadrilateral.


A line segment drawn from one vertex of a quadrilateral to the opposite vertex is called a diagonal of the quadrilateral. For example, AC is a diagonal of quadrilateral ABCD.

Types of Quadrilaterals

There are six basic types of quadrilaterals:
1. Rectangle: Opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel and equal. All angles are 90º.


2. Square
Opposite sides of a square are parallel and all sides are equal. All angles are 90º.

3. Parallelogram
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal. Opposite angles are equal.

4. Rhombus

All sides of a rhombus are equal and opposite sides are parallel. Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.


5. Trapezium
A trapezium has one pair of opposite sides parallel. A regular trapezium has non-parallel sides equal and its base angles are equal, as shown in the following diagram.


6. Kite
Two pairs of adjacent sides of a kite are equal, and one pair of opposite angles are equal. Diagonals intersect at right angles. One diagonal is bisected by the other.


Theorem 3 Prove that the angle sum of a quadrilateral is equal to 360º.
Proof: To prove < A + <B + <C + <D= 360



In tri ABC p + u + B = 180 (angle sum property of triangle)-----1
Similarly
In Tri. ACD , q + v + D = 180--------2
Adding (1 ) and  (2)

(p +  q) + (u+  v ) + B+ D = 180+ 180
 < A + <B + <C + <D= 360
Hence the angle sum of a quadrilateral is 360º.

Class 10 Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salts NCERT Activity Explanation

By
NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get d...

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

By
X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page ...

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

By
Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution:  Mass of the reactants = 10g ;  Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g.  In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....
