EXERCISE 5.3 (Question no 1 and 2)
EXERCISE 5.4 (Question no 1 , 2 , 3 , 7 and 9)
Perpendicular line:
Two distinct lines intersecting each other at 90° or a right angle are called perpendicular
lines.
We write AB ⊥ XY.
Here, AB is perpendicular to XY because AB and XY intersect each other at 90°.
Perpendicular Bisectors: Perpendicular bisectors are lines that divide a given line
segment exactly into two halves forming 90 degrees at the intersection point.
Perpendicular bisectors pass through the midpoint of a line segment.
Here, AB is perpendicular bisector of PQ because AB and PQ intersect each other at 90°
and PF and FQ are equal.

EXERCISE 5.7
Question 1: Reader work
2. Give reasons for the following:
a) A square can be thought of as a special rectangle.
b) A rectangle can be thought of as a special parallelogram.
c) A square can be thought of as a special rhombus.
d) Squares, rectangles, parallelograms are all quadrilateral.
e) Square is also a parallelogram.
Answer:
a. Because its all angles are right angle and opposite sides are equal.
b. Because its opposite sides are equal and parallel.
c. Because its four sides are equal and diagonals are perpendicular to each
other.
d. Because all of them have four sides.
e. Because its opposite sides are equal and parallel.
