Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (10 marks)

1. (3) Reasoning: By definition, a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides. It does not always have right angles (that's a rectangle/square), equal diagonals (rectangle/square), or equal sides (rhombus/square).

2. (1) Reasoning: The sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. $\text{Sum} = 360^\circ - (110^\circ + 70^\circ) = 360^\circ - 180^\circ = 180^\circ$. Alternatively, since $AB \parallel DC$, consecutive interior angles sum to $180^\circ$. $\angle ABC + \angle BCD$ is not a standard pair, but $\angle DAB + \angle ADC = 180^\circ$ and $\angle ABC + \angle BCD = 180^\circ$ is true for any trapezium with parallel sides AB and DC? Wait. If $AB \parallel DC$, then $\angle DAB + \angle ADC = 180^\circ$ is FALSE unless AD is perpendicular. Correct property: Interior angles on the same side of the transversal between parallel lines sum to $180^\circ$. Transversal AD: $\angle DAB + \angle ADC$? No, AD connects the parallels. The angles inside the parallel lines are $\angle DAB$ and $\angle ADC$? No. Let's use the sum of angles. Sum of all 4 angles = $360^\circ$. $\angle A + \angle D = 70 + 110 = 180^\circ$. Therefore, $\angle B + \angle C = 360 - 180 = 180^\circ$.

3. (1) Reasoning: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 8 = 48 \text{ cm}^2$.

4. (3) Reasoning: Square: 4 lines. Rectangle: 2 lines. Isosceles Triangle: 1 line (vertical axis of symmetry). Parallelogram: 0 lines (generally).

5. (3) Reasoning: In a rhombus, adjacent angles sum to $180^\circ$ (since opposite sides are parallel). $\angle PQR = 180^\circ - \angle QPS = 180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$.

6. (2) Reasoning: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h$. $60 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times h$ $60 = 5h$ $h = 12 \text{ cm}$.

7. (2) Reasoning: Sum of angles in a triangle must be $180^\circ$. (1) $60+60+70 = 190$ (2) $90+45+45 = 180$ (Correct) (3) $100+50+40 = 190$ (4) $120+30+20 = 170$

8. (2) Reasoning: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Fourth angle $= 360^\circ - (85^\circ + 95^\circ + 100^\circ) = 360^\circ - 280^\circ = 80^\circ$.

9. (1) Reasoning: $A(2,3)$ to $B(5,3)$ is horizontal, length 3. $B(5,3)$ to $C(5,7)$ is vertical, length 4. To form a rectangle, $D$ must complete the shape. $D$ must have the same x-coordinate as $A$ ($x=2$) and the same y-coordinate as $C$ ($y=7$). $D(2, 7)$.

10. (3) Reasoning: Perimeter $= 4s = 36 \implies s = 9 \text{ cm}$. $\text{Area} = s^2 = 9^2 = 81 \text{ cm}^2$.

Section B: Short Answer Questions (10 marks)

11. $70$ Working: Sum of angles in a triangle $= 180^\circ$. $x = 180^\circ - (45^\circ + 65^\circ) = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ$.

12. $120$ Working: $\text{Area of parallelogram} = \text{base} \times \text{height}$. $\text{Area} = 15 \text{ cm} \times 8 \text{ cm} = 120 \text{ cm}^2$.

13. $10$ Working: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$. $45 = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times 9$ $45 = 4.5b$ $b = 45 / 4.5 = 10 \text{ cm}$.

14. $10$ Working: A rhombus has 4 equal sides. $\text{Perimeter} = 4 \times \text{side}$. $40 = 4s$ $s = 10 \text{ cm}$.

15. $70$ Working: $\triangle ABC$ is isosceles with $AB=AC$, so $\angle ABC = \angle ACB$. Sum of angles $= 180^\circ$. $40^\circ + 2(\angle ABC) = 180^\circ$ $2(\angle ABC) = 140^\circ$ $\angle ABC = 70^\circ$.

Section C: Long Answer Questions (20 marks)

16. (a) Area of rectangle ABCD: $\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}$ $\text{Area} = 12 \text{ cm} \times 8 \text{ cm} = 96 \text{ cm}^2$. [2 marks]

(b) Total area of composite shape: First, find Area of $\triangle CDE$. Base $CD = AB = 12 \text{ cm}$ (opposite sides of rectangle). Height $= 6 \text{ cm}$. $\text{Area of } \triangle CDE = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 6 = 36 \text{ cm}^2$. $\text{Total Area} = \text{Area of Rectangle} + \text{Area of Triangle}$ $\text{Total Area} = 96 + 36 = 132 \text{ cm}^2$. [2 marks]

17. Find the area of parallelogram ABCD: Let $h$ be the height of the parallelogram corresponding to base $AD$. Let $AD = b$. Then $AE = \frac{1}{2}b$ (since $E$ is midpoint). $\text{Area of } \triangle ABE = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base}(AE) \times \text{height}(h)$. $24 = \frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{1}{2}b) \times h$ $24 = \frac{1}{4} bh$ $bh = 24 \times 4 = 96$. $\text{Area of Parallelogram } ABCD = \text{base}(AD) \times \text{height}(h) = bh$. $\text{Area} = 96 \text{ cm}^2$. [4 marks]

18. Find the area of triangle PQT: Method: Subtract areas of corner triangles from the rectangle area. Rectangle $PQRS$: Width $SR = ST + TR = 4 + 6 = 10 \text{ cm}$. Height $PS = 8 \text{ cm}$. $\text{Area of Rectangle} = 10 \times 8 = 80 \text{ cm}^2$.

Triangle $PST$ (corner 1): Base $ST = 4$, Height $PS = 8$. $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 8 = 16 \text{ cm}^2$.

Triangle $QRT$ (corner 2): Base $TR = 6$, Height $QR = 8$ (since $QR=PS$). $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24 \text{ cm}^2$.

Triangle $PQT$ Area $= \text{Area of Rectangle} - (\text{Area } PST + \text{Area } QRT)$ Note: The top triangle is not "cut out" in the subtraction method usually used for a triangle inscribed in a rectangle where the base is on one side. Actually, simpler method: Base of $\triangle PQT$? It's not aligned with axes easily. Let's use the subtraction method correctly. The vertices are $P(0,8)$, $Q(10,8)$, $T(4,0)$ assuming $S$ is $(0,0)$. Wait, $S$ is bottom-left? Let's assume standard labeling $P$ top-left, $Q$ top-right, $R$ bottom-right, $S$ bottom-left. $P=(0,8), Q=(10,8), R=(10,0), S=(0,0)$. $T$ is on $SR$. $S=(0,0), R=(10,0)$. $ST=4 \implies T=(4,0)$. Area of $\triangle PQT$: We can calculate area of trapezoid $PQTS$? No. Let's subtract $\triangle PST$ and $\triangle QRT$ and $\triangle P Q ...$? No. The triangle $PQT$ is inside the rectangle. $\text{Area } PQT = \text{Area Rectangle} - \text{Area } \triangle PST - \text{Area } \triangle QRT - \text{Area } \triangle (\text{Top?})$. No, $P$ and $Q$ are on the top edge. $T$ is on the bottom edge. The "empty" spaces are $\triangle PST$ and $\triangle QRT$. Is there a third empty space? No, the side $PQ$ is the top side of the rectangle. So, $\text{Area } PQT = \text{Area Rectangle} - \text{Area } \triangle PST - \text{Area } \triangle QRT$. $\text{Area } PST = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 8 = 16$. $\text{Area } QRT = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24$. $\text{Area } PQT = 80 - 16 - 24 = 40 \text{ cm}^2$.

Alternative Check: Base $PQ = 10$. Height of $T$ from $PQ$ is $8$. $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 8 = 40 \text{ cm}^2$. (This is much faster. Base $PQ$ is parallel to $SR$. The perpendicular height from $T$ to line $PQ$ is the height of the rectangle, 8 cm). Answer: $40 \text{ cm}^2$. [4 marks]

19. Find Angle BAE:

1. Angle $BAD$ is an angle of the square $ABCD$. $\angle BAD = 90^\circ$.
2. Angle $DAE$ is an angle of the equilateral triangle $ADE$. $\angle DAE = 60^\circ$.
3. Since the triangle is drawn outside the square, Angle $BAE$ is the sum of these two angles. $\angle BAE = \angle BAD + \angle DAE$ $\angle BAE = 90^\circ + 60^\circ = 150^\circ$. [4 marks]

20. Find Angle COD and Angle BOC: (a) Angle $COD$: Angles $AOB$ and $COD$ are vertically opposite angles. Vertically opposite angles are equal. $\angle COD = \angle AOB = 110^\circ$. [2 marks]

(b) Angle $BOC$: Angles $AOB$ and $BOC$ are adjacent angles on the straight line $AC$. Angles on a straight line add up to $180^\circ$. $\angle BOC = 180^\circ - \angle AOB$ $\angle BOC = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ$. [2 marks]
