Question
In the given figure, BC ⊥ AB, AD ⊥ AB, BC = 4, AD = 8, then find `("A"(∆"ABC"))/("A"(∆"ADB"))`
Solution
In ∆ABC and ∆ADB,
BC ⊥ AB, AD ⊥ AB, BC = 4, AD = 8 ...(Given)
∆ABC and ∆ADB have same base AB. ...(Given)
∴ Areas of triangles with equal bases are proportional to their corresponding heights.
`("A"(∆"ABC"))/("A"(∆"ADB")) = "BC"/"AD"`
∴ `("A"(∆"ABC"))/("A"(∆"ADB")) = 4/8`
∴ `("A"(∆"ABC"))/("A"(∆"ADB")) = 1/2`.

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
