in a triangle ABC. E is the mid point of median AD of triangle ABC. If area of triangle BED =20 cm square, then find area of triangle ABC.

 The answer is 80cm2.

This is beacuse if you join E to C, you will get 4 triangle of equal areas by the property that a median divides a triangle into 2 triangles of equal areas. So,

ar(BED) * 4 = ar(ABC)

=> ar(ABC) = 4 * 20cm2 = 80cm2
