In , if L and M are the points on AB and AC, respectively such that . Prove that ar (LOB) = ar (MOC)
Solution.
Given: with L and M points on AB and AC respectively such that
To prove:
Proof:
We know that, triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
Hence, and lie on the same base BC and between the same parallels BC and LM.
So, …(1)
Using these values in equation 1, we get:
On eliminating form both sides, we get
Hence proved.
