Q : 4 In Fig. , ABC and ABD are two triangles on the same base AB. If line- segment CD is bisected by AB at O, show that
.
We have, ABC and
ABD on the same base AB. CD is bisected by AB at point O.
OC = OD
Now, in ACD, AO is median
ar (
AOC) = ar (
AOD)..........(i)
Similarly, in BCD, BO is the median
ar (
BOC) = ar (
BOD)............(ii)
Adding equation (i) and eq (ii), we get
ar (AOC) + ar (
BOC) = ar (
AOD) + ar (
BOD)
Hence proved.
