Question
In the given figure, ratio of the area of triangle ABC to the area of triangle ACD is the same as the ratio of base BC of triangle ABC to the base CD of ΔACD.
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
∵ Area of ΔABC : Area of ΔACD = `1/2` × BC × AC : `1/2` × CD × AC ......[∵ Area of triangle = Base × Height]
= BC : CD
