If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of triangle is equal to half the area of parallelogram.
i.e Area of ∆BCE = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ar (||gm ABCD)
⇒ 75.2 m2 = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ar(||gm ABCD)
⇒ ar (||gm ABCD) = 75.2 x 2 m2 = 150.4 m2.

Question 6.
Prove that a median of a triangle divides it (RBSESolutions.com) into two triangles of equal area.
Solution.
Given: A triangle PQR in which RS is a median

To prove: ar (∆RPS) = ar (∆RSQ)
Construction: Draw RL ⊥ PQ
Proof: RS is median
⇒ PS = SQ
⇒ $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x PS x RL = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x SQ x RL
⇒ ar (∆RPS) = ar (∆RSQ)

Question 7.
Diagonals AC and BD of a trapezium ABCD with AB || DC intersect (RBSESolutions.com) each other at O. Prove that ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆BOC).
Solution.
Since ∆ACD and ∆BDC are on the same base CD and between the same parallels AB and CD.

Therefore, ar (∆ACD) = ar (∆BDC)
Subtracting ar (∆ACD) from both side, we get
ar (∆ACD) – ar (∆COD) = ar (∆BDC) – ar (∆COD)
⇒ ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆BOC)

Question 8.
Two parallelograms PQRS and PQMN have (RBSESolutions.com) common base PQ as shown in figure. PQ = 9 cm, SM = 3 cm, and ST = 5 cm. Find the area of PQRN.

Solution.
Since parallelograms PQRS and PQMN are on the same base PQ and between the same parallels PQ and NR.
ar (PQRS) = ar (PQMN) = 9 x 5 = 45 cm2
Also, area of trapezium PQMS
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x (PQ + MS) x ST
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x (9 + 3) x 5
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 12 x 5 =30 cm2
ar (PQRN) = ar (PQRS) + ar (PQMN) – ar (PQMS) = (45 + 45 – 30) cm2 = 60 cm2

Question 9.
In figure, ABCD is a quadrilateral in which (RBSESolutions.com) diagonal BD =14 cm. If AL ⊥ BD and CM ⊥ BD such that AL = 8 cm and CM = 6 cm, find the area of quadrilateral ABCD.

Solution.
Here we are given that BD = 14 cm
AL ⊥ BD and CM ⊥ BD and AL = 8 cm, CM = 6 cm
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = ar (∆ABD) + ar (∆BDC)
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x BD x AL + $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x BD x CM
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x BD x (AL + CM)
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 14 x (8 + 6)
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 14 x 14 = 98 cm2

Question 10.
In figure, ABCD is a quadrilateral. BP is drawn (RBSESolutions.com) parallel to AC and BP meets DC produced at P. Prove that ar (∆ADP) = ar (quad. ABCD).

Solution.
Here ∆ABC and ∆ACP are on the same base AC and between the same parallels AC and BP.
Therefore,
ar (∆ABC) = ar (∆ACP)
⇒ ar (∆ADC) + ar (∆ABC) = ar (∆ADC) + ar (∆ACP)

Question 1.
XY is a line parallel to side BC of (RBSESolutions.com) a triangle ABC. If BE || AC and CF || AB meet XY at E and F respectively. Show that ar (∆ABE) = ar (∆ACF).
Solution.
Since ∆ABE and parallelogram BCYE are on the same base BE and between the same parallels EB and AC. Therefore
ar (∆ABE) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ar (||gm BCYE) …(i)

Similarly, ∆ACF and parallelogram BCFX are on the same (RBSESolutions.com) base CF and between the same parallels FC and AB. Therefore
ar (∆ACF) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ar (||gm BCFX) …(ii)
But parallelogram BCYE and BCFX are on the same base BC and between the same parallels BC and EF.
ar (||gm BCYE) = ar (||gm BCFX) …….. (iii)
Using relations (i), (ii) and (iii), we have
ar (∆ABE) = ar (∆ACF).

Question 2.
Diagonals AC and BD of trapezium ABCD with AB || DC intersect (RBSESolutions.com) each other at O. Prove that ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆BOC).
Solution.
Given: ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC and diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O.

To prove: ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆BOC)
Proof: Since ∆’s ABC and ABD lie on the same base AB and between the same parallels AB and DC.
Therefore ar (∆ABC) = ar (∆ABD) …(i)
Subtracting ar (∆AOB) from both sides of (i), we get
ar (∆ABC) – ar (∆AOB) = ar (∆ABD) – ar (∆AOB)
⇒ ar (∆BOC) = ar (∆AOD)
i.e. ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆BOC)

Question 3.
Diagonals AC and BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect at O in (RBSESolutions.com) such a way that ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆BOC). Prove that ABCD is a trapezium.
Solution.
Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AC and BD are diagonals which intersect at O, such that ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆BOC)

To prove: ABCD is a trapezium.
Proof: We are given that
ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆BOC) …(i)
Adding ar (∆AOB), we get on both sides
ar (∆AOD) + ar (∆AOB) = ar (∆BOC)+ ar (∆AOB)
⇒ ar (∆ABD) = ar (∆ABC)
But triangles ABD and ABC are on the same base AB and have equal in areas.
Therefore they must lie in between the same parallels, i.e. AB || DC
Hence, ABCD is a trapezium.

Question 4.
Prove that “Parallelograms on the (RBSESolutions.com) same base and between the same parallels are equal in area”.
Solution.
Given: Two parallelograms PQRS and PQMN, which have the same base PQ and which are between the same parallels lines PQ and NR.

To prove: ar (||gm PQRS) = ar (||gm PQMN)
Proof: ar (||gm PQRS) = ar (quad. PQMS) + ar (AQRM) ….(i)
Also ar (||gm PQMN) = ar (quad. PQMS) + ar (APSN) …(ii)
Now, in triangles RQM and SPN
RQ = SP (opposite sides of a ||gm)
QM = NP (opposite sides of a ||gm)
∠RQM = ∠SPN (∵ QR || SP and QM || PN)
∆RQM = ∆SPN (by SAS congruency property)
⇒ ar (∆RQM) = ar (∆SPN) …(iii)
Using relations (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
ar (||gm PQRS) = ar (||gm PQMN).

Question 5.
The side AB of a parallelogram ABCD is produced to (RBSESolutions.com) any point P. A line through A, parallel to CP meets CB produced at Q and the parallelogram PBQR is completed. Prove that ar (||gm ABCD) = ar (||gm PBQR).
Solution.
Given: The side AB of a parallelogram ABCD is produced to P. AQ || CP where Q is on CB produced. PBQR is a parallelogram.

To prove: ar(||gm ABCD) = ar(||gm PBQR)
Construction: Join AC and QP
Proof: In parallelogram ABCD, AC is a diagonal
ar (||gm ABCD) = 2 ar (∆ABC) …(i)
Similarly, in (RBSESolutions.com) parallelogram PBQR, QP is a diagonal
ar (||gm PBQR) = 2 ar (∆BPQ) …(ii)
Now ∆AQC and ∆AQP are on the same base AQ and between the same parallels AQ and CP.
ar (∆AQC) = ar (∆AQP)
ar (∆AQC) – ar (AAQB) = ar (∆AQP) – ar (∆AQB)
⇒ ar (∆ABC) = ar (∆BPQ) …(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
ar (||gm ABCD) = ar (||gm PBQR).

Question 1.
D, E and F are respectively the mid-points (RBSESolutions.com) of the sides BC, CA and AB of a ∆ABC. Show that:
(i) BDEF is a parallelogram
(ii) ar (∆DEF) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$ ar (∆ABC)
(iii) ar (BDEF) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ar (∆ABC)
Solution.
Given: In ∆ABC, D, E and F are mid-points
of sides BC, CA and AB respectively.

To prove:
(i) BDEF is a parallelogram
(ii) ar (∆DEF) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$ ar (∆ABC)
(iii) ar (BDEF) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ar (∆ABC)
Proof: (i) In ∆ABC, F is the (RBSESolutions.com) mid-point of AB and E is the mid-point of AC.
Therefore from mid-point theorem
EF || BC and EF = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ AB = BD …(i)
Similarly, DE || AB and DE = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ AB = BF … (ii)
EF || BD and EF = BD
⇒ BDEF is a parallelogram.

(ii) Here DF is diagonal of ||gm BDEF
ar (∆BDF) = ar (∆DEF) …(iii)
Similarly, ar (ADEF) = ar (∆AEF) …(iv)
and ar (∆CDE) = ar (∆DEF) …(v)
From (iii), (iv) and (v), we have
ar (∆BDF) = ar (∆AFE)
ar (∆DEF) = ar (∆CDE)
But ar (∆BDF) + ar (∆AFE) + ar (∆DEF) + ar (∆CDE) = ar (∆ABC)
⇒ 4 ar (∆DEF) = ar (∆ABC)
⇒ ar (∆DEF) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$ ar (∆ABC) …(vi)

(iii) Now, area (RBSESolutions.com) of parallelogram BDEF = ar (∆BDF) + ar (∆DEF) [∵ ar (∆BDF) ar (∆DEF)]
⇒ ar (||gm BDEF) = 2 ar(∆DEF) = 2x $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$ ar (∆ABC) [using relation (vi)]
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ar (∆ABC)
Hence, ar (||gm BDEF) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ar (∆ABC)

Question 2.
In figure, diagonals AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD intersect at O such that OB = OD. If AB = CD, then show that:

(i) ar (∆DOC) = ar (∆AOB)
(ii) ar (∆DCB) = ar (∆ACB)
(iii) DA || CB or ABCD is a parallelogram.
[Hint: From D and B, draw perpendiculars to AC]
Solution.
Given: ABCD is (RBSESolutions.com) a quadrilateral in which AC and BD are diagonals and they intersect each other at O such that OB = OD.
To prove:
(i) ar (∆DOC) = ar (∆AOB)
(ii) ar (∆DCB) = ar (∆ACB)
(iii) DA || CB or ABCD is a parallelogram.

Construction: Draw DN ⊥ AC and BM ⊥ AC
Proof: (i) O is the mid-point of diagonal BD.
Therefore AO and CO will (RBSESolutions.com) be the medians of ∆ABD and ∆BCD respectively.
ar (∆AOD) = ar (∆AOB) …(i)
and ar (∆COD) = ar (∆BOC) …(ii)
Reason: Median of a triangle divides it into two triangles equal in areas.
ar (∆AOD) + ar (∆COD) = ar (∆AOB) + ar (∆BOC)
⇒ ar (∆ACD) = ar (∆ABC)
⇒ $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ AC x DN = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ AC x BM
⇒ DN = BM
Now in ∆CND and ∆ABM
AB = CD (given)
DN = BM
and ∠DNC = ∠BMA = 90°
⇒ ∆CND = ∆ABM (by R.H.S. congruence rule)
⇒ ar (∆CND) = ar (∆ABM) …(iii)
Similarly, in ∆DON and ∆BOM
DN = BM
DO = OB (given)
and ∠DNO = ∠BOM = 90° (each)
∆DON = ∆BOM (by R.H.S. congruence rule)
⇒ ar (∆DON) = ar (∆BOM) …(iv)
On adding (iii) and (iv), we get
ar (∆CND) + ar (∆DON) = ar (∆ABM) + ar (∆BOM)
⇒ ar (∆DOC) = ar (∆AOB)

(ii) ar (∆DOC) = ar (∆AOB)
On Adding ar (∆BOC) to both side, we get
ar (∆DOC) + ar (∆BOC) = ar (∆AOB) + ar (∆BOC)
⇒ ar (∆DCB) = ar (∆ACB)

(iii) Since A’s DCB and ACB are on the (RBSESolutions.com) same base BC and equal areas, therefore they must lie between the same parallels
i.e. DA || CB …(v)
∆CDN = ∆ABM and ∆DNO = ∆BMO [by using relations (iii) and (iv)]
∠CDN = ∠ABM and ∠NDO = ∠MBO
∠CDN + ∠NDO = ∠ABM + ∠MBO
⇒ ∠CDO = ∠ABO
But these are alternate angles. Therefore CD || BA and DA || CB.
Hence, ABCD is a parallelogram.

Question 3.
ABCD is a parallelogram, E and F are (RBSESolutions.com) the mid-points of BC and CD respectively.
Prove that: ar (∆AEF) = $$\frac { 3 }{ 8 }$$ ar (||gm ABCD)
Solution.
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram in which E and F are the mid-points of sides BC and CD respectively.

To prove: ar (∆AEF) = $$\frac { 3 }{ 8 }$$ ar (||gm ABCD)
Construction: Join BD and EF.
Proof: In ∆BCD, E is the mid-point of BC and F is the mid-point of CD
