Since we already proved that,
ar(\DeltaDEF) = ar (\Delta BDF).........(i)

So, ar(||gm BDEF) = ar(\DeltaBDF) + ar (\DeltaDEF)
                               = 2 . ar(\DeltaDEF)    [from equation (i)]
                               \\= 2[\frac{1}{4}ar(\Delta ABC)]\\ =\frac{1}{2} ar(\Delta ABC)

Hence proved.
