PQRS is a trapezium having PS and QR as parallel sides. A is any point on PQ and is a point on SR such that AB || QR. If area of ΔPBQ is 17cm2, find the area of ΔASR.

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

Given: Here from the given figure we get

(1) PQRS is a trapezium having PS||QR

(2) A is any point on PQ

(3) B is any point on SR

(4) AB||QR

(5) Area of ΔBPQ = 17 cm2

 To find : Area of ΔASR

Calculation: We know that ‘If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and the same parallels, the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram’

Here we can see that:

Area (ΔAPB) = Area (ΔABS) …… (1)

And, Area (ΔAQR) = Area (ΔABR) …… (2)

Therefore,

Area (ΔASR) = Area (ΔABS) + Area (ΔABR)

From equation (1) and (2), we have,

Area (ΔASR) = Area (ΔAPB) + Area (ΔAQR)

⇒ Area (ΔASR) = Area (ΔBPQ) = 17 cm2

Hence, the area of the triangle ΔASR is 17 cm2.
