Expert Answer
G
Given : ABCD is a Trapezium
Point H and G are the mid point of parallel sides.
Construction: AE and BF are the height of the trapezium.
To prove : Area of AHGD = Area of HBCG
Let us assume that The given Trapezium is an isosceles Trapezium, with AD = BC
Here,
AH = HB and DG = GC ....since Point H and G are the mid-point of AB and CD.
AHGE and BHGF are rectagle.
(since AE = BF ..since AB || CD and AE and BF are perpendicular to DG and GC respectively)
EG = AH .......(sides of a reactangle)
HB = GF ......(side of a rectangle)
Therefore Area of a AHGE = Area of a BHGF ....(i)
In ΔADE and ΔBFC
AE = BF
AD = BC
and AED = BFC = 900
Therefore ΔADE ΔBFC ...(RHS )
Therefore ΔADE = ΔBFC.......(ii)
Area of a AHGD = ΔADE +AHGE and
Area of a BHCG = ΔBFC + BHGF
from (i) and (ii), we get
Area of AHGD = Area of HBCG
