Question

In fig., AB ⊥ BC and DC ⊥ BC, AB = 6, DC = 4 then `("A"(Δ"ABC"))/("A"(Δ"BCD"))` = ?

Sum

Solution

ΔABC and ΔBCD have same base BC.

∴ `"A(ΔABC)"/"A(ΔBCD)" = "AB"/"DC"`   .....[Triangles having equal base]

∴ `"A(ΔABC)"/"A(ΔBCD)" = 6/4`     .....[Given]

∴ `("A"(Δ"ABC"))/("A"(Δ"BCD")) = 3/2`

Prove that, The areas of two triangles with the same height are in proportion to their corresponding bases. To prove this theorem start as follows:

  1. Draw two triangles, give the names of all points, and show heights.
  2. Write 'Given' and 'To prove' from the figure drawn.

In the figure, PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC. To find the ratio of A(ΔPQB) and A(ΔPBC), complete the following activity.


Given: PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC

Now, A(ΔPQB)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

A(ΔPBC)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

Therefore, 

`(A(ΔPQB))/(A(ΔPBC)) = (1/2 xx square xx square)/(1/2 xx square xx square)`

= `square/square`
