In the following figure, ABCD and EFGD are two parallelograms and G is the mid-point of CD. Then ar (DPC) = `1/2` ar (EFGD).
पर्याय
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is False.
Explanation:
In the given figure, join PG.
Since, G is the mid-point of CD.
Thus, PG is a median of ΔDPC and it divides the triangle into parts of equal areas.
Then, ar (ΔDPG) = ar (ΔGPC) = `1/2` ar (ΔDPC) ...(i)
Also, we know that, if a parallelogram and a triangle lie on the same base and between the same parallels, then area of triangle is equal to half of the area of parallelogram.
Here, parallelogram EFGD and ΔDPG lie on the same base DG and between the same parallels DG and EF.
So, ar (ΔDPG) = `1/2` ar (EFGD) ...(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii),
`1/2` ar (ΔDPG) = `1/2` ar (EFGD)
⇒ ar (ΔDPC) = ar (EFGD)

A villager Itwaari has a plot of land of the shape of a quadrilateral. The Gram Panchayat of the village decided to take over some portion of his plot from one of the corners to construct a Health Centre. Itwaari agrees to the above proposal with the condition that he should be given equal amount of land in lieu of his land adjoining his plot so as to form a triangular plot. Explain how this proposal will be implemented.

Can you answer the question that you have left in the ’Introduction’ of this chapter, whether the field of Budhia has been actually divided into three parts of equal area?
[Remark: Note that by taking BD = DE = EC, the triangle ABC is divided into three triangles ABD, ADE and AEC of equal areas. In the same way, by dividing BC into n equal parts and joining the points of division so obtained to the opposite vertex of BC, you can divide ΔABC into n triangles of equal areas.]
