The area of the parallelogram ABCD is (see Fig.9.13). Find
(i) ar (ABEF)
(ii) ar (ABD)
(iii) ar (BEF)
Answer:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
Solution.
(i) Here, ABCD is a parallelogram with area
So, [Extended part of CD is CF]
Hence, ABEF is a parallelogram.
We know that parallelogram that lies between same parallel lines and having same base have equal areas.
Now, parallelogram ABCD and ABEF lies between same parallel lines AB and CF have same base AB. So these have equal area.
(ii) and parallelogram ABCD lies between same parallel lines and have same base AB. So we know that
Now,
(iii) Here, and parallelogram ABEF are on the same base EF and between the same parallels AB and EF. So we know that,
