NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 8 : Quadrilaterals

Content Curator

The NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics have been provided in this article. Quadrilaterals include more than one type of shape, but all quadrilaterals have four sides. The most common type of quadrilateral is square, but rectangles and rhombuses are considered quadrilaterals too. Quadrilaterals are also called quadrangles and tetragons.

Class 9 Maths Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals belong to Unit 4 Geometry which has a weightage of 27 marks in the Class 9 Maths Examination. NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths for Chapter 8 cover the following important concepts:

Important Topics in Class 9 Maths Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals

Important Topics in Class 9 Maths Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals are elaborated below:

Cyclic Quadrilateral

Cyclic quadrilateral is a type of quadrilateral which has all of its four vertices lying on the circumference of a circle. Cyclic quadrilteral is a unique four-sided quadrilateral circumscribed in a circle.

Important Points of a Cyclic Quadrilateral:

The sides of a cyclic quadrilateral that are found to touch the circumference of a circle are the same four chords of the circle.
Area of a cyclic quadrilateral = √(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)(s−d) where a, b, c, and d are the four sides and S is the semi perimeter.
Perimeter of a cyclic quadrilateral = 2S, where S = (1/2) × (a + b + c + d)

Quadrilateral Angle Sum Property

Quadrilateral Angle sum property states that the sum of all four interior angles is equal to 360^o.

Example: Assume that the sum of three interior angles of a quadrilateral is 240^o. With the given data, determine its fourth angle.

Solution: First, consider that the fourth angle is x
Now, since the sum of four interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360^o, we can say,
⇒ x + 240^o = 360^o
⇒ x = 120^o

Perimeter of a Paralellogram

The perimeter of a parallelogram can be defined as the sum of the total distance outside its shape. A paralellogram is a four-sided polygon with parallel sides that never intersect.

Perimeter of Paralellogram Formula:
Perimeter of parallelogram = a + b + c + d
⇒ 2a + 2b= 2(a+b)
⇒ P = 2(a+b).
