(g) All parallelograms are trapeziums.
(h) All squares are trapeziums.
Solution:
(a) False
(b) True
(c) True
(d) False
(e) False
(f) True
(g) True
(h) True

Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 2.
Identify all the quadrilaterals that have
(a) four sides of equal length
(b) four right angles
Solution:
(a) Squares and rhombuses.
(b) Rectangles and squares.

Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 3.
Explain how a square is
(i) a quadrilateral
(ii) a parallelogram
(iii) a rhombus
(iv) a rectangle
Solution:
(i) Square is a quadrilateral because it is closed with four line segments.
(ii) Square is a parallelogram due to the following properties:
(a) Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
(b) Opposite angles are equal.
(iii) Square is a rhombus because its all sides are equal and opposite sides are parallel.
(iv) Square is a rectangle because its opposite sides are equal and has equal diagonal.

Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 4.
Name the quadrilaterals whose diagonals
(i) bisect each other
(ii) are perpendicular bisectors of each other
(iii) are equal
Solution:
(i) Parallelogram, rectangle, square and rhombus
(ii) Square and rhombus
(iii) Rectangle and square

Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 5.
Explain why a rectangle is a convex quadrilateral.
Solution:
In a rectangle, both of its diagonal lie in its interior. Hence, it is a convex quadrilateral.

Ex 3.4 Class 8 Maths Question 6.
ABC is a right-angled triangle and O is the midpoint of the side opposite to the right angle. Explain why O is equidistant from A, B and C. (The dotted lines are drawn additionally to help you).

Solution:
Since the right-angled triangle ABC makes a rectangle ABCD by the dotted lines.
Therefore OA = OB = OC = OD [Diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other]
Hence, O is equidistant from A, B and C.
