Q2 . Through vertex of A of a llgm drawn to meet BC at E and DC produced at F. Show that triangle BEF and triangle CDE are equal in area.
Answer :
From given information we draw our diagram , As :
We also join one diagonal AC ,
We know from parallelogram property
AB = CD , AB | | CD
And
BC = DA , BC | | DA
We know Area of triangle =
So ,
Area of ABC = Area of ABF ( As both have same base ( AB ) and same height as they lies between two parallel lines AB and CD )
Now we can write these areas , As :
Area of ABE + Area of AEC = Area of ABE + Area of BEF , So
Area of AEC = Area of BEF ------------- ( 1 )
And
Area of AEC = Area of DCE ------------- ( 2 ) ( As both have same base ( CE ) and same height as they lies between two parallel lines BC and DA )
From equation 1 and 2 , we get
Area of BEF = Area of DCE ( Hence proved )
