Question
In the below fig. D and E are two points on BC such that BD = DE = EC. Show that ar
(ΔABD) = ar (ΔADE) = ar (ΔAEC).
Solution
Draw a line through A parallel to BC
Given that, BD= DE = EC
We observe that the triangles ABD and AEC are on the equal bases and between the same
parallels C and BC. Therefore, Their areas are equal.
Hence, ar ( ABD) = ar (ΔADE) = ar ( ΔACDE)
