The figure shows two parallelograms ABCD and ABEF. Prove that Area of 
ADF = area of BCE.
Asked by Topperlearning User | 17th Aug, 2017, 01:59: PM
Expert Answer:
Parallelogram ABCD and parallelogram ABEF are on the same base AB and between the same parallels AB and FC.
ar (ABCD) = ar (ABEF)
Now ar 
(ADF) = 
ar (ABEF)
(Same base AB and between the same parallels AB and FE)
Similarly, ar (BCE) =
ar (ABCD)
ar (ADF) = ar (BCE)
ar (ABCD) = ar (ABEF)(ADF) = ar (ABEF) (BCE) =ar (ABCD) ar (ADF) = ar (BCE)Answered by | 17th Aug, 2017, 03:59: PM
