Construction: Join EF
Since the line segment joining the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side.
We have, EF || BC
Triangles BEF and CEF are the same base EF and between the same parallel lines.
So, ar(BEF) = ar(
CEF)
i.e ar(BEF) - ar(
GEF) = ar(
CEF) - ar (
GEF)
ar (BFG) = (
CEG)
We know that the median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area.
So, ar(BEC) = ar(
ABE)
i.e ar(BGC) + ar(
CEG)= ar(quad.AFGE) + ar(
BFG)
i.e ar(BGC) + ar(
BFG)= ar(quad.AFGE) + ar(
BFG)
Therefore, i.e ar(BGC) = ar(quad.AFGE)
