Solution 1

Joining AC and FE, we get

ΔAFC and ΔAFE are on the same base AF and between the same parallels AF and CE.

⇒ A(ΔAFC) = A(ΔAFE)

⇒ A(ΔABF) + A(ΔABC) = A(ΔABF) + A(ΔBFE)

⇒ A(ΔABC) = A(ΔBFE)

⇒

A(parallelogram ABCD) =

A(parallelogram BFGE) ⇒ A(parallelogram ABCD) = A(parallelogram BFGE)

Question 7

In the given figure, BC ∥ DE.

(a) If area of ΔADC is 20 sq. units, find the area of ΔAEB.

(b) If the area of ΔBFD is 8 square units, find the area of ΔCEF

Solution 7

Question 8

In the given figure, AB ∥ SQ ∥ DC and AD ∥ PR ∥ BC. If the area of quadrilateral ABCD is 24 square units, find the area of quadrilateral PQRS.

Solution 8

Question 9

In the given figure, PQ ∥ SR ∥ MN, PS ∥ QM and SM ∥ PN. Prove that:

ar. (SMNT) = ar. (PQRS).

Solution 9

SM ∥ PN

⇒ SM ∥ TN

Also, SR ∥ MN

⇒ ST ∥ MN

Hence, SMNT is a parallelogram.

SM ∥ PN

⇒ SM ∥ PO

Also, PS ∥ QM

⇒ PS ∥ OM

Hence, SMOP is a parallelogram.

Now, parallelograms SMNT and SMOP are on the same base SM and between the same parallels SM and PN.

∴ A(parallelogram SMNT) = A(parallelogram SMOP) ….(i)

Similarly, we can show that quadrilaterals PQRS is a parallelogram.

Now, parallelograms PQRS and SMOP are on the same base PS and between the same parallels PS and QM.

∴ A(parallelogram PQRS) = A(parallelogram SMOP) ….(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we have

A(parallelogram SMNT) = A(parallelogram PQRS)

Question 10

In the given figure, ABC is a triangle and AD is the median.

If E is any point on the median AD. Show that:

Area of ΔABE = Area of ΔACE.

Solution 10

AD is the median of ΔABC.

Therefore it will divide ΔABC into two triangles of equal areas.

∴ Area(ΔABD) = Area(ΔACD) ….(i)

Similarly, ED is the median of ΔEBC.

∴ Area(DEBD) = Area(DECD) ….(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we have

Area(ΔABD) - Area(ΔEBD) = Area(ΔACD) - Area(ΔECD)

⇒ Area(ΔABE) = Area(ΔACE)

Question 11

In the given figure, ABC is a triangle and AD is the median.

If E is the midpoint of the median AD, prove that:

Area of ΔABC = 4 × Area of ΔABE

Solution 11

AD is the median of ΔABC.

Therefore it will divide ΔABC into two triangles of equal areas.

∴ Area(ΔABD) = Area(ΔACD) ….(i)

Similarly, ED is the median of ΔEBC.

∴ Area(ΔEBD) = Area(ΔECD) ….(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we have

Area(ΔABD) - Area(ΔEBD) = Area(ΔACD) - Area(ΔECD)

⇒ Area(ΔABE) = Area(ΔACE) ….(iii)

Since E is the mid-point of median AD,

AE = ED

Now,

ΔABE and ΔBED have equal bases and a common vertex B.

∴ Area(ΔABE) = Area(ΔBED) ….(iv)

From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get

Area(ΔABE) = A(ΔBED) = Area(ΔACE) = Area(ΔEDC) ….(v)

Now,

Area(ΔABC) = Area(ΔABE) + A(ΔBED) + Area(ΔACE) + Area(ΔEDC)

= 4 × Area(ΔABE) [From (v)]

Question 12

In a parallelogram PQRS, M and N are the midpoints of the sides PQ and PS respectively. If area of ΔPMN is 20 square units, find the area of the parallelogram PQRS.

Solution 12

Construction: Join SM and SQ.

In a parallelogram PQRS, SQ is the diagonal.

So, it bisects the parallelogram.

∴ Area(DPSQ)

SM is the median of ΔPSQ.

∴ Area(ΔPSM)

Again, MN is the median of ΔPSM.

∴ Area(ΔPMN)

Question 13

In a parallelogram PQRS, T is any point on the diagonal PR. If the area of ΔPTQ is 18 square units find the area of ΔPTS.

Solution 13

Construction: Join QR. Let the diagonals PR and QS intersect each other at point O.

Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore O is the mid-point of both PR and QS.

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

In ΔPSQ, OP is the median.

∴ Area(ΔPOS) = Area(ΔPOQ) ….(i)

Similarly, OT is the median of ΔTSQ.

∴Area(ΔTOS) = Area(ΔTOQ) ….(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we have

Area(ΔPOS) - Area(ΔTOS) = Area(ΔPOQ) - Area(ΔTOQ)

⇒ Area(ΔPTQ) = Area(ΔPTS)

⇒ Area(ΔPTS) = 18 square units

Question 14
