ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles such that D is the mid-point of BC. Then ar (BDE) = `1/4` ar (ABC).
विकल्प
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Given: ΔABC and ΔBDE are two equilateral triangles.
Suppose that each sides of triangle ABC be x.
Similarly, D is the mid-point of BC.
So, each side of triangle BDE is `x/2`.
Now, `(Area(ΔBDE))/(Area(ΔABC)) = (sqrt(3)/4 xx (x/2)^2)/(sqrt(3) / 4 xx x^2)`
= `x^2/(4x^2)`
= `1/4`
Therefore, area (ΔBDE) = `1/4` area (ΔABC).
