Here are the solutions for questions 6, 7, and 8 based on the provided image.

First, let's analyze the given information and the diagram:
The figure ABCDABCD is a rectangle.
EF=2EF = 2 cm.
DE=3DE = 3 cm.
EE is the intersection point of the diagonals ACAC and BDBD.
EF⊥ABEF \perp AB.

Properties of a rectangle:

  • Diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other. Therefore, AE=BE=CE=DEAE = BE = CE = DE. Since DE=3DE = 3 cm, we have AE=BE=CE=3AE = BE = CE = 3 cm.
  • All angles are 90∘90^\circ. So, ∠DAB=90∘\angle DAB = 90^\circ.

Consider △ABD\triangle ABD:
EE is the midpoint of the hypotenuse BDBD (since BE=DE=3BE = DE = 3 cm).
EFEF is drawn from EE such that EF⊥ABEF \perp AB.
Since AD⊥ABAD \perp AB (because ABCDABCD is a rectangle), EFEF must be parallel to ADAD.
By the midpoint theorem (or intercept theorem), if a line segment passes through the midpoint of one side of a triangle and is parallel to another side, it bisects the third side.
Thus, FF is the midpoint of ABAB.
Also, EF=12ADEF = \frac{1}{2} AD.
Given EF=2EF = 2 cm, we can find ADAD:
2=12AD2 = \frac{1}{2} AD
AD=2×2=4AD = 2 \times 2 = 4 cm.
Since ABCDABCD is a rectangle, BC=AD=4BC = AD = 4 cm.

Now we have:
AD=4AD = 4 cm
BE=3BE = 3 cm
EF=2EF = 2 cm
FF is the midpoint of ABAB.

6. BFBF এর দৈর্ঘ্য কত সে.মি.? (What is the length of BFBF in cm?)

  1. Identify the relevant triangle.

    Consider the right-angled triangle △EFB\triangle EFB, where ∠EFB=90∘\angle EFB = 90^\circ.

  2. Apply the Pythagorean theorem.

    We know BE=3BE = 3 cm (hypotenuse) and EF=2EF = 2 cm (one leg). We need to find BFBF (the other leg).

    BE2=EF2+BF2BE^2 = EF^2 + BF^2 32=22+BF23^2 = 2^2 + BF^2 9=4+BF29 = 4 + BF^2 BF2=9−4BF^2 = 9 - 4 BF2=5BF^2 = 5 BF=5 সে.মি.BF = \sqrt{5} \text{ সে.মি.}

    The correct option is খ) 5\sqrt{5}.

    7. ABAB কত সে.মি.? (What is the length of ABAB in cm?)

  3. Use the property that FF is the midpoint of ABAB.

    We found that FF is the midpoint of ABAB. Therefore, AB=2×BFAB = 2 \times BF.

  4. Calculate ABAB.

    Using the value of BFBF from question 6:

    AB=2×5AB = 2 \times \sqrt{5} AB=25 সে.মি.AB = 2\sqrt{5} \text{ সে.মি.}

    The correct option is খ) 252\sqrt{5}.

    8. ABCDABCD এর ক্ষেত্রফল কত বর্গসে.মি.? (What is the area of ABCDABCD in sq cm?)

  5. Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle.

    The area of a rectangle is given by length ×\times width. In this case, AB×ADAB \times AD.

  6. Substitute the values and calculate the area.

    We found AB=25AB = 2\sqrt{5} cm and AD=4AD = 4 cm.

    Area of ABCD=AB×AD\text{Area of } ABCD = AB \times AD Area of ABCD=(25)×4\text{Area of } ABCD = (2\sqrt{5}) \times 4 Area of ABCD=85 বর্গসে.মি.\text{Area of } ABCD = 8\sqrt{5} \text{ বর্গসে.মি.}

    The correct option is ক) 858\sqrt{5}.

    The final answers are: 6. খ) 5\boxed{\text{খ) }\sqrt{5}} 7. খ) 25\boxed{\text{খ) }2\sqrt{5}} 8. ক) 85\boxed{\text{ক) }8\sqrt{5}}
