2.(e) Give reasons for the following :

(e)     Square is also a parallelogram.

Square is also a parallelogram as its opposite sides are parallel.

2.(d)   Give reasons for the following :

(d)     Squares, rectangles, parallelograms are all quadrilaterals.

2.(c)     Give reasons for the following :

(c)     A square can be thought of as a special rhombus.

A square can be thought of as a special rhombus because like a rhombus it has all sides equal but all its angles are also equal.

4. Study the diagram. The line $l$ is perpendicular to line $m$

(a) Is CE = EG?

(b) Does PE bisect CG?

(c) Identify any two line segments for which PE is the perpendicular bisector.

(d) Are these true?

(i) AC > FG

(ii) CD = GH

(iii) BC < EH.

(a) CE = 5 - 3 = 2 units      EG = 7 - 5 = 2 units          Therefore CE = EG. (b) CE = EG therefore PE bisects CG. (c) PE is the perpendicular bisector for line segments DF and BH (d) (i) AC = 3 - 1 = 2 units          FG = 7 - 6 = 1 unit            Therefore AC > FG             True     (ii) CD = 4 - 3 = 1 unit          GH = 8 - 7 = 1 unit           Therefore CD = GH           True        ...
