Q5 of 35 Page 69

State with reasons whether the following statements are ‘true’ or ‘false’.

(i) Every parallelogram is a rhombus.


(ii) Every rhombus is a rectangle.


(iii) Every rectangle is a parallelogram.


(iv) Every square is a rectangle.


(v) Every square is a rhombus.


(vi)Every parallelogram is a rectangle.

(i) False.

Explanation: Every Parallelogram cannot be the rhombus as the diagonals of a rhombus bisects each other at 90° but this is not the same with every parallelogram. Hence the statement if false.


(ii) False.


Explanation: In a rhombus all the sides are congruent but in a rectangle opposite sides are equal and parallel. Hence the given statement is false.


(iii) True.


Explanation: The statement is true as in a rectangle opposite angles and adjacent angles all are 90°. And for any quadrilateral to be parallelogram the opposites angles should be congruent.


(iv) True.


Explanation: Every square is a rectangle as all the angles of the square at 90° , diagonal bisects each other and are congruent , pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel . Hence every square is a rectangle is true statement.


(v) True.


Explanation: The statement is true as all the test of properties of a rhombus are meet by square that is diagonals are perpendicular bisects each other , opposite sides are parallel to each other and the diagonals bisects the angles.


(vi) False.


Explanation:


Every parallelogram is a rectangle is not true as rectangle has each angle of 90° measure but same is not the case with every parallelogram.
