(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.

Q3. A figure is said to be regular if its sides are equal in length and angles are equal in measure. Can you identify the regular quadrilateral? 
Ans: A square is a regular quadrilateral because all the interior angles are 90o, and all sides are of the same length.


Exercise 5.8 

Q1. Examine whether the following are polygons. If anyone among these is not, say why?
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 5 - Understanding Elementary Shapes (Exercise 5.7 and 5.8)Ans: (a) As it is not a closed figure, therefore, it is not a polygon.
