Solution 4

Solution 5

ΔPQT and parallelogram PQRS are on the same base PQ and between the same parallel lines PQ and SR.

ΔPSN and parallelogram PQRS are on the same base PS and between the same parallel lines PS and QN.

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

Subtracting A(ΔRTN) from both the sides, we get

Solution 10

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)

Joining TR, we get

ΔPQR and ΔQTR are on the same base QR and between the same parallel lines QR and PT.

ΔQTR and ΔTQS are on the same base QT and between the same parallel lines QT and RS.

From (i) and (ii), we get

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)

Solution 34(a)

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)

Solution 34(b)

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)]

Solution 35

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)   

  

  

Solution 36

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
