(1) ABCD is a parallelogram,

(2) ABFE is a parallelogram

(3) CDEF is a parallelogram

To prove: Area of ΔADE = Area of ΔBCF

Answer:

Given:

(1) ABC and ABD are two triangles on the same base AB,

(2) CD bisect AB at O which means AO = OB

To Prove: Area of ΔABC = Area of ΔABD

Proof:

Here it is given that CD bisected by AB at O which means O is the midpoint of CD.

Therefore AO is the median of triangle ACD.

Since the median divides a triangle in two triangles of equal area

Therefore Area of ΔCAO = Area of ΔAOD ...... (1)

Similarly for Δ CBD, O is the midpoint of CD

Therefore BO is the median of triangle BCD.

Therefore Area of ΔCOB = Area of ΔBOD ...... (2)

Adding equation (1) and (2) we get

Area of ΔCAO + Area of ΔCOB = Area of ΔAOD + Area of ΔBOD

⇒ Area of ΔABC = Area of ΔABD

Hence it is proved that

(2) AD is the median of ΔABC

(3) G is the midpoint of the median AD

To prove:

(a) Area of Δ ADB = Area of Δ ADC

(b) Area of Δ BGC = 2 Area of Δ AGC

Construction: Draw a line AM perpendicular to AC

Proof: Since AD is the median of ΔABC.

Therefore BD = DC

So multiplying by AM on both sides we get

In ΔBGC, GD is the median

Since the median divides a triangle in to two triangles of equal area. So

Area of ΔBDG = Area of ΔGCD

⇒ Area of ΔBGC = 2(Area of ΔBGD)

Similarly In ΔACD, CG is the median

⇒ Area of ΔAGC = Area of ΔGCD

From the above calculation we have

Area of ΔBGD = Area of ΔAGC

But Area of ΔBGC = 2(Area of ΔBGD)

So we have

Area of ΔBGC = 2(Area of ΔAGC)

Hence it is proved that

(3) P is any point on BO

To prove:

(b) Area of ΔAPB = Area ofΔ CBP

Proof: We know that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

O is the midpoint of AC and BD.

Since medians divide the triangle into two equal areas

In ΔACD, DO is the median

Area of ΔADO = Area ofΔ CDO

Again O is the midpoint of AC.

In ΔAPC, OP is the median

⇒ Area of ΔAOP = Area of ΔCOP …… (1)

Similarly O is the midpoint of AC.

In ΔABC, OB is the median

⇒ Area of ΔAOB = Area of ΔCOB …… (2)

Subtracting (1) from (2) we get,

Area of ΔAOB − Area of ΔAOP = Area of ΔCOB − Area of ΔCOP

To find:

(a) Area of ΔADF = Area of ΔECF

(b) Area of parallelogram ABCD

Proof: Δ ADF and ΔECF, we can see that

∠ADF = ∠ECF (Alternate angles formed by parallel sides AD and CE)

AD = EC

∠DFA = ∠CFA (Vertically opposite angles)

(ASA condition of congruence)

As

DF = CF

Since DF = CF. So BF is a median in ΔBCD

Since median divides the triangle in to two equal triangles. So

Proof:

We know that

Area of triangle = × base× height

Area of ΔAPD = × DP × AL …… (1)

Area of ΔBPC = × CM × BP …… (2)

Area of ΔAPB = × BP × AL …… (3)

BE = 2EA and DF = 2FC

AB − AE = 2AE and DC − FC = 2FC

AB = 3AE and DC = 3FC

AE = AB and FC = DC

AE = FC [since AB = DC]

Thus, AE || FC such that AE = FC

Therefore AECF is a parallelogram.

Clearly, parallelograms ABCD and AECF have the same altitude and

AE = AB.

Answer:

Given: (1) The Area of ΔABC = 24 sq units.

(2) ΔPQR is formed by joining the midpoints of ΔABC

To find: The area of ΔPQR

Calculation: In ΔABC, we have

Since Q and R are the midpoints of BC and AC respectively.

PQ || BA PQ || BP

Similarly, RQ || BP. So BQRP is a parallelogram.

Similarly APRQ and PQCR are parallelograms.

We know that diagonal of a parallelogram bisect the parallelogram into two triangles of equal area.

Now, PR is a diagonal of APQR.

∴ Area of ΔAPR = Area of ΔPQR ……(1)

Similarly,

PQ is a diagonal of PBQR

∴ Area of ΔPQR = Area of ΔPBQ ……(2)

QR is the diagonal of PQCR

∴ Area of ΔPQR = Area of ΔRCQ ……(3)

From (1), (2), (3) we have

Area of ΔAPR = Area of ΔPQR = Area of ΔPBQ = Area of ΔRCQ

But

Area of ΔAPR + Area of ΔPQR + Area of ΔPBQ + Area of ΔRCQ = Area of ΔABC

To find: The area of Trapezium FBCE

Calculation: Here we can see that in the given figure,

Area of trapezium FBCE = Area of ||^gm FBDE + Area of ΔCDE

Since D and E are the midpoints of BC and AC respectively.

∴ DE || BA DE || BF

Similarly, FE || BD. So BDEF is a parallelogram.

Now, DF is a diagonal of ||^gm BDEF.

∴ Area of ΔBDF = Area of ΔDEF ……(1)

Similarly,

DE is a diagonal of ||^gm DCEF

∴ Area of ΔDCE = Area of ΔDEF ……(2)

FE is the diagonal of ||^gm AFDE

∴ Area of ΔAFE = Area of ΔDEF ……(3)

From (1), (2), (3) we have

Area of ΔBDF = Area of ΔDCF = Area of ΔAFE = Area of ΔDEF

But

Area of ΔBDF + Area of ΔDCE + Area of ΔAFE + Area of ΔDEF = Area of ΔABC

∴ 4 Area of ΔBDF = Area of ΔABC

Area of ΔBDF = Area of ΔDCE = Area of ΔAFE = Area of ΔDEF = 4 cm² …….(4)

Hence we get

Area of trapezium FBCE

(2) P is a point on AC such that ar (ΔADP) : ar (ΔABD) =

To find: ar (ΔPDC) : ar (ΔABC)

We know that” the medians of the triangle divides the triangle in two two triangles of equal area.”

Since AD is the median of ΔABC,

ar (ΔABD) = ar (ΔADC) ……(1)

Also it is given that

ar (ΔADP) : ar (ΔABD) = ……(2)

Now,

Therefore,

Hence the correct answer is option (c).

Answer:

Given: (1) Median of ΔABC meet at G.

(2) Area of ΔABC = 27 cm²

(2) E is the midpoint of AD

(3) ar (ΔAEC) = 4 cm²

To find: ar (ΔBEC)

Calculation: We know that”the median of the triangle divides the triangle into two triangle of equal area”

Since AD is the median of ΔABC,

ar (ΔABD) = ar (ΔADC) …… (1)

EC is the median of ΔADC,

ar (ΔAEC) = ar (ΔDEC) …… (2)

⇒ ar (ΔDEC) = 4 cm²

EC is the median of ΔBED

ar (ΔBED) = ar (ΔDEC) …… (3)

From 2 and 3 we get,

ar (ΔBED) = ar (ΔAEC) …… (4)

⇒ ar (ΔBED) = 4 cm²

Now,

Hence the correct answer is option (c).

Answer:

Given: (1) ABCD is a parallelogram.

(2) AB = 12 cm

(3) AE = 7.5 cm

(4) CF = 15cm

To find: AD

Calculation: We know that,

Area of a parallelogram = base × height

Area of a parallelogram ABCD = DC ×AE (with DC as base and AE as height) ……(1)

Area of a parallelogram ABCD = AD ×CF (with DC as base and AE as height) ……(2)

Since equation 1 and 2 both are Area of a parallelogram ABCD

Hence the correct answer is option (b).

Answer:

(2) X is the midpoint of PQ.

(3) Y is the midpoint of SR.

(4) SQ is the diagonal.

To find: Ratio of area of ||^gm XQRY : area of ΔQRS.

Calculation: We know that the triangle and parallelogram on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.

∴ Ar (||^gm PQRS) = Ar (ΔQRS)

(since X is the mid point of PQ and Y is the midpoint of SR)

Hence the correct answer is option (d).

Answer:

Given: (1) ABCD is a trapezium, with parallel sides AB and DC

(2) Diagonals AC and BD intersect at O

Answer:

Given: (1) ABCD is a trapezium, with parallel sides AB and DC

(2) Area of ΔADB = 24 cm²

(3) AB = 8 cm

To find: Height of ΔABC.

Calculation: We know that ,” two triangles with the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.”

Here we can see that, ΔADB and ΔACB are on the same base AB.

Hence,

Area of ΔACB = Area of ΔADB

Area of ΔACB = 24

Hence the correct answer is option (c).

Answer:

Given: (1) ABCD is a trapezium, with parallel sides AB and DC

(2) AB = a cm

(3) DC = b cm

(4) E is the midpoint of non parallel sides AD.

(5) G is the midpoint of non parallel sides BC.

To find: Ratio of the area of the Quadrilaterals ABFE and EFCD.

Calculation: We know that, ‘Area of a trapezium is half the product of its height and the sum of the parallel sides.’

Since, E and F are mid points of AD and BC respectively, so h₁ = h₂

Area of trapezium ABFE

Now, Area (trap ABCD) = area (trap EFCD) + Area (ABFE)

Therefore,

Thus,

Hence, the correct option is (c)

Answer:

Given: A rectangle ABCD , O is a point in the interior of the rectangles such that

(1) ar (ΔAOB) = 3 cm²

(2) ar (ΔBOC) = 6 cm²

To find: ar (rect.ABCD)

Construction: Draw a line LM passing through O and parallel to AD and BC.

Calculation: We know that ,” If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram”

Here we can see that ΔAOD and rectangle AMLD are on the same base AD and between the same parallels AD and LM.

Hence ,

Similarly, we can see that ΔBOC and rectangle BCLM are on the same base BC and between the same parallels BC and LM

Hence,

We known that

Hence the correct answer is option (d).

Answer:

We know, opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
Therefore, in rectangle ABEF,
AB = EF    ...(1)

Also, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
Therefore, in parallelogram ABCD,
AB = DC    ...(3)

From (1) and (3),
DC = EF 
⇒ AB + EF = AB + DC    ...(5)

Now, we know that, of all the line segments, perpendicular segment is the shortest.
∴ AF < AD
BE < BC
⇒ AF + BE < AD + BC    ...(6)

Adding (5) and (6), we get
AB + EF +  AF + BE < AB + DC + AD + BC
⇒ Perimeter of rectangle < perimeter of parallelogram

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Answer:

We know, area of the parallelogram = Base × Altitude
Therefore,
The area of parallelogram ABCD = AB × DL
                                                      = DC × DL


Hence, the correct option is (c).

Answer:

The diagonal of a parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, or square divides them into two parts, equal in area.

Therefore, if ABCD is a quadrilateral whose diagonal AC divides it into two parts, equal in area, then ABCD need not be a rectangle, parallelogram, or rhombus as it can be a square as well.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Answer:

Given: (1) ABCD is a triangle.

(2) mid points of the sides of ΔABC with any of the vertices forms a parallelogram.

To find: Area of the parallelogram

Calculation: We know that: Area of a parallelogram = base × height

area of ||^gm DECF = (E is the midpoint of BC)

area of ||^gm DECF =

area of ||^gm DECF =

Hence the result is option (b).

It is given that,

Hence the correct answer is option (c).

Answer:

Given:
A rhombus ABCD with diagonals 12 cm and 16 cm
i.e., AC = 16 cm and BD = 12 cm
And a quadrilateral PQRS formed by joining the mid-points of the adjacent sides of ABCD.



Using mid-point theorem: The line segment joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is equal to the half of it.

In ∆ABC,
PQ || AC
PQ = $\frac{1}{2}$AC
⇒ PQ = $\frac{1}{2}$(16)
⇒ PQ = 8 cm

In ∆ADC,
RS || AC
RS = $\frac{1}{2}$AC
⇒ RS = $\frac{1}{2}$(16)
⇒ RS = 8 cm

In ∆BCD,
RQ || BD
RQ = $\frac{1}{2}$BD
⇒ RQ = $\frac{1}{2}$(12)
⇒ RQ = 6 cm

In ∆BAD,
SP || BD
SP = $\frac{1}{2}$BD
⇒ SP = $\frac{1}{2}$(12)
⇒ SP = 6 cm

Since, PQ = 8 cm = RS and RQ = 6 cm = SP
and Diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angle.
⇒ angle between AC and BD is 90°
⇒ angle between PQ and QR is 90°
Therefore, PQRS is a rectangle
Thus, Area of rectangle = PQ × QR
                                       = 8 × 6
                                       = 48 cm²

Hence, the area of the figure formed by joining the mid-points of the adjacent sides of a rhombus with diagonals 12 cm and 16 cm is 48 cm².

Answer:

Given: 
A rectangle ABCD of sides 8 cm and 6 cm
i.e., AB = 8 cm and AD = 6 cm
And a quadrilateral PQRS formed by joining the mid-points of the adjacent sides of ABCD.



We can see that QS || AB and PR || AD
Also, QS = AB =  8 cm and PR = AD = 6 cm
Thus, angle between QS and PR is 90°
Therefore, PQRS is a rhombus.

Area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}$× SQ × PR
                            = $\frac{1}{2}$× 8 × 6
                            = 4 × 6
                            = 24 cm²

Hence, the figure obtained by joining the mid-points of the adjacent sides of a rectangle of sides 8 cm and 6 cm is a rhombus of area 24 cm².

Answer:

Given: P is any point on the median AD of a ΔABC

We know, median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area.

Therefore, ar (ΔADB) = ar (ΔADC)       ...(1)
Also, ar (ΔPDB) = ar (ΔPDC)               ...(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
ar (ΔADB) − ar (ΔPDB) = ar (ΔADC) − ar (ΔPDC)
⇒ ar (ΔABP) = ar (ΔACP)
⇒$\frac{\mathrm{ar} \left(∆ABP\right)}{\mathrm{ar} \left(∆ACP\right)}$= 1


Hence, $\frac{\mathrm{ar} \left(∆ABP\right)}{\mathrm{ar} \left(∆ACP\right)}$= 1.

Answer:

If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ Area of the parallelogram
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{triangle}}{\mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{parallelogram}}=\frac{1}{2}$


Hence, if a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the parallelogram is 1 : 2.

Answer:

Parallelograms on equal bases and between the same parallels are equal in area.

Area of first parallelogram = Area of the second parallelogram
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{first} \mathrm{parallelogram}}{\mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{second} \mathrm{parallelogram}}=\frac{1}{1}$


Hence, the ratio of their areas is 1 : 1.

Answer:

Given: 
ABCD is a parallelogram
X is the mid-point of AB
ar(AXCD) = 24 cm²

We know, if a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
Thus, ar(ΔABC) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(ABCD)     ...(1)

Since, X is the mid-point of AB
Therefore, ar(ΔXBC) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(ABC)
                                   = $\frac{1}{2}$×$\frac{1}{2}$ar(ABCD)    (From (1))
                                   = $\frac{1}{4}$ar(ABCD)      ...(2)

Thus, ar(AXCD) = ar(ABCD) − ar(ΔXBC)
⇒ 24 = ar(ABCD) − $\frac{1}{4}$ar(ABCD)         (From (2))
⇒ 24 = $\frac{3}{4}$ar(ABCD)
⇒ ar(ABCD) = $24\times \frac{4}{3}$
⇒ ar(ABCD) = 8 × 4
⇒ ar(ABCD) = 32 cm²

From (1)
ar(ΔABC) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(ABCD)
                 = $\frac{1}{2}$× 32
                 = 16 cm²


Hence, ​ar(ΔABC) = 16 cm².

Answer:

Given: 
PQRS is a rectangle inscribed in a quadrant of a circle of radius 13 cm
PS = 5 cm
A is any point on PQ


QS = radius of the circle = 13 cm     ...(1)

In ΔPQS
Using pythagoras theorem,
 QS² = PS² + PQ²
⇒ 13² = 5² + PQ²
⇒ PQ² = 169 − 25
⇒ PQ² = 144
⇒ PQ = 12 cm = SR            ...(2)


Thus,
ar(ΔRAS) = $\frac{1}{2}$× base × height
                 = $\frac{1}{2}$× SR × PS
                 = $\frac{1}{2}$× 12 × 5
                 = 30 cm²


Hence, ​ar(ΔRAS) = 30 cm².

Disclaimer: The question is to find the area of ΔRAS instead of the area of ΔPAS.

Answer:

Given: 
ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles
D is the mid-point of BC


 $$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{ar}\left(∆ABC\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {\left(\mathrm{side}\right)}^2 \\ =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {\left(BC\right)}^2 ...\left(1\right) \\ \mathrm{ar}\left(∆BDE\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {\left(\mathrm{side}\right)}^2 \\ =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {\left(BD\right)}^2 \\ =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {\left(\frac{1}{2}BC\right)}^2 \left(\because D \mathrm{is} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{mid}-\mathrm{point} \mathrm{of} BC\right) \\ =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times {\left(BC\right)}^2 \\ =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{16}\times {\left(BC\right)}^2 ...\left(2\right) \\ \mathrm{Dividing} \left(1\right) \mathrm{and} \left(2\right), \mathrm{we} \mathrm{get} \\ \frac{\mathrm{ar}\left(∆ABC\right)}{\mathrm{ar}\left(∆BDE\right)}=\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}}{\left(BC\right)}^2}{{\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3}}{16}}{\left(BC\right)}^2} \\ =\frac{4}{1} \end{gathered}$$


Hence, ar(ΔABC) : ar(ΔBDE) = 4 : 1.
 

Answer:

Given: 
PQRS is a parallelogram with area 180 cm²
A is any point on the diagonal QS


 We know, the diagonal of the parallelogram bisects it into two triangles of equal area.
Thus, ar(ΔPQS) = ar(ΔQRS) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(PQRS)
⇒ ar(ΔPQS) = ar(ΔQRS) = 90 cm²

Therefore, ar(ΔASR) is always less than 90 cm² unless or until the point A coincides with Q or S.

Hence, ar(ΔASR) is less than 90 cm²

Answer:

Given: 
ABC is a triangle


Let D is the mid-point of AB, E is the mid-point of BC and F is the mid-point of AC.

ADEF is a parallelogram having 2 triangles of equal area i.e., ∆ADF and ∆DEF.

But the ∆ABC is divided in 4 triangles of equal area i.e., ∆ADF, ∆DEF, ∆BED and ∆CEF.

Thus, area of ∆ABC = 2 × area of the parallelogram ADEF.


Hence, the mid-points of the sides of a triangle ABC along with any of the vertices as the fourth point make a parallelogram of area equal to half the area of the triangle ABC.

Answer:

Let ABC be a triangle with a mid-point D on BC.
Therefore, BD = DC
Let AE be the altitude from A on BC.

Now, ar(∆ABD) = $\frac{1}{2}$× base × height
                          = $\frac{1}{2}$× BD × AE

Also, ar(∆ACD) = $\frac{1}{2}$× base × height
                          = $\frac{1}{2}$× CD × AE
                          = $\frac{1}{2}$× BD × AE         (∵ BD = CD)
                          = ar(∆ABD) 


Hence, a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area.

Answer:

Given: 
ABCD is a rectangle
E and F are the mid-points of BC and AD respectively
G is any point on EF


Since, E and F are the mid-points of BC and AD respectively.
Therefore, ar(BEFA) = ar(ECDF) = $\frac{1}{2}$× ar(ABCD)            ...(1)

We know, if a triangle and a rectangle are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is half the area of the rectangle.
Thus, ar(ΔGAB) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(BEFA)             ...(2)

From (1) and (2),
ar(ΔGAB) = $\frac{1}{2}$×$\frac{1}{2}$× ar(ABCD)
⇒ ar(ΔGAB) = $\frac{1}{4}$× ar(ABCD)
⇒ $\frac{\mathrm{ar}\left(∆GAB\right)}{\mathrm{ar}\left(\mathrm{rectangle} ABCD\right)}=\frac{1}{4}$
​

Hence, ar(ΔGAB) : ar(rectangle ABCD) = 1 : 4.

Answer:

Given: 
PQRS is a square of side 8 cm.
T and U are respectively the mid-points of PS and QR
TU and QS intersect at O



In ΔQOU and ΔOTS,
∠QOU = ∠TOS  (vertically opposite angles)
∠OQU = ∠OST  (alternate angles)
QU = TS (mid-points of sides of a square)

By AAS property,
ΔQOU ≅ ΔOTS

Thus, OU = OT (by CPCT)
⇒ OU + OT = PQ = 8 cm
⇒ OU = OT = 4 cm             ...(1)

Also, TS = 4 cm (T is the mid-point of PS)       ...(2)

ar(ΔOTS) = $\frac{1}{2}$× base × height
                = $\frac{1}{2}$× TS × OT
                = $\frac{1}{2}$× 4 × 4    (From (1) and (2))
                = 8 cm²
​

Hence, ar(ΔOTS) = 8 cm².

Answer:

Given: 
ABCD and EFGD are two parallelograms.
G is the mid point of CD


Since, G is the mid point of CD
Therefore, DG = GC

Since, ΔDPG and ΔGPC have equal base and common height,
Thus, ar(ΔDPG) = ar(ΔGPC) 
⇒ ar(ΔDPC) = 2 ar(ΔDPG)       ...(1)

Also, if a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
Thus, ar(ΔDPG) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(EFGD)     ...(2)

From (1) and (2),
ar(ΔDPC) = 2 × $\frac{1}{2}$ar(EFGD)
⇒ ar(ΔDPC) = ar(EFGD)
​

Hence, ar(ΔDPC) : ar(EFGD) = 1 : 1.

Answer:

Given: 
PQRS and EFRS are two parallelograms



PQRS and EFRS are two parallelograms lying on the same base SR and between the same parallels SR and PF.

We know, if two parallelograms are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the parallelograms are equal.

Thus, ar(PQRS) = ar(EFRS)             ...(1)

Also, ΔMFR and parallelogram EFRS is lying on the same base FR and between the same parallels SR and EF.

We know, if a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.

Thus, ar(ΔMFR) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(EFRS)     ...(2)

From (1) and (2),
ar(ΔMFR) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(PQRS)
⇒ ar(||^gm PQRS) = 2 ar(ΔMFR)
​

Hence, ar(||^gm PQRS) : ar(ΔMFR) = 2 : 1.

Answer:

Given: 
ABCD is a parallelogram of area 90 cm²


ABCD and ABEF are two parallelograms lying on the same base AB and between the same parallels AB and CF.

We know, if two parallelograms are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the parallelograms are equal.

Thus, ar(ABCD) = ar(ABEF) = 90 cm²           ...(1)

Also, ΔABD and parallelogram ABEF is lying on the same base AB and between the same parallels AF and BE.

We know, if a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.

Thus, ar(ΔABD) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(ABEF)
⇒ ar(||^gm ABEF) = 2 ar(ΔABD)          ...(2)

From (1) and (2),
ar(||^gm ABEF) = 2 ar(ΔABD) = 90 cm²
​
Also, diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.
Thus,  ar(ΔBEF) = $\frac{1}{2}$ar(ABEF)
                            = $\frac{1}{2}$(90)
                            = 45 cm²


Hence, ar(||^gm ABEF) = 2 ar(ΔABD) = 90 cm² and ar(ΔBEF) = 45 cm².

To find : Area of ΔASR.

Calculation: We know that ‘If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and the same parallels, the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram’

Here we can see that:

Area (ΔAPB) = Area (ΔABS) …… (1)

And, Area (ΔAQR) = Area (ΔABR) …… (2)

Therefore,

Area (ΔASR) = Area (ΔABS) + Area (ΔABR)

From equation (1) and (2), we have,

Area (ΔASR) = Area (ΔAPB) + Area (ΔAQR)

⇒ Area (ΔASR) = Area (ΔBPQ) = 17 cm²

Hence, the area of the triangle ΔASR is 17 cm².

And,

Area (BQC) =

Now, let H be the perpendicular distance between AP and CD. Therefore,

Area (PCB) = …… (1)

Thus the area of the parallelogram ABCD is,

Area (ABCD) = AB × H

⇒ Area (ABCD) = 2BP × H

From equation (1), we get

Area (ABCD) = 4 × 30 = 120 cm²

Hence, the area of the parallelogram ABCD is 120 cm².

Answer:

Given: Area (ABC) = 12 cm², D is midpoint of BC and AP is parallel to ED. We need to find area of the triangle EPC.

Since, AP||ED, and we know that the area of triangles between the same parallel and on the same base are equal. So,

Area (APE) = Area (APD)

⇒ Area (APM) + Area (AME) = Area (APM) + Area (PMD)

⇒ Area (AME) = Area (PMD) …… (1)

Since, median divide triangles into two equal parts. So,

Area (ADC) = Area (ABC) = = 6 cm²

⇒ Area (ADC) = Area (MDCE) + Area (AME)

⇒Area (ADC) = Area (MDCE) + Area (PMD) (from equation (1))

⇒ Area (ADC) = Area (PEC)

Therefore,

Area (PEC) = 6 cm².
