⇒ BD2 = 289−64

⇒ BD = 15

In ΔABD we have

AB2+AD2 = BD2

⇒ 152 = AB2+92

⇒ AB2 = 225−81 = 144

⇒ AB = 12

ar(quadABCD) = ar(ΔABD)+ar(ΔBCD)

Since, AD is the median of ΔABC

∴ BD = DC

⇒ BD = AM = DC×AM

Ex-15.3 (Part - 1), Areas Of Parallelograms And Triangles, Class 9, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics(BD×AM) = Ex-15.3 (Part - 1), Areas Of Parallelograms And Triangles, Class 9, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics(DC×AM)

⇒ ar(ΔABD) = ar(ΔACD)⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(1)

In ΔBGC , GD is the median

∴ ar(ΔBGD) = ar(ΔCGD)⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(2)

In ΔACD , CG is the median

∴ ar(ΔAGC) = ar(ΔCGD)⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(3)

From (2) and (3) we have,

ar(ΔBGD) = ar(ΔAGC)

But, ar(ΔBGC) = 2ar(ΔBGD)

To prove: ar(ΔABD) = 2ar(ΔADC).

Construction:

Take a point E on BD such that BE = ED

Proof: Since, BE = ED and BD = 2 DC

Then, BE = ED = DC

We know that median of triangle divides it into two equal triangles.

∴ In ΔABD , AE is the median .

Then , ar(ΔABD) = 2ar(ΔAED) ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(1)

In ΔAEC , AD is the median .

Then, ar(ΔAED) = 2ar(ΔADC) ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(2)

ar(ΔABD) = 2ar(ΔADC).

 

Q 14. ABCD is a parallelogram whose diagonals intersect at O .If P is any point on BO, prove that :

(i) . ar(ΔADO) = ar(ΔCDO).

(ii) . ar(ΔABP) = 2ar(ΔCBP).

Solution:

Given that ABCD is the parallelogram

To Prove:    (i) ar(ΔADO) = ar(ΔCDO).

(ii) ar(ΔABP) = 2ar(ΔCBP).

Proof:  we know that diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other

∴ AO = OC and BO = OD

(i)  . In Δ DAC , since DO is a median .

Then ar(ΔADO) = ar(ΔCDO).

(ii) . In Δ BAC , since BO is a median .

Then ar(ΔBAO) = ar(ΔBCO)⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(1)

In Δ PAC , since PO is a median .

Then ar(ΔPAO) = ar(ΔPCO)⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(2)

Subtract equation 2 from 1.

⇒ ar(ΔBAO)−ar(ΔPAO) = ar(ΔBCO)−ar(ΔPCO)

⇒  ar(ΔABP) = 2ar(ΔCBP).

 

Q 15. ABCD is a parallelogram in which BC is produced to E such that CE = BC. AE intersects CD at F.

(i)  . Prove that ar(ΔADF) = ar(ΔECF).

(ii)  . If the area of  ΔDFB  =   3cm, find the area of ||gm ABCD .

Solution:

In triangles ADF and ECF, we have

∠ADF = ∠ECF                 [Alternate interior angles,SinceAD||BE]

AD = EC             [sinceAD = BC = CE]

And ∠DFA = ∠CFA         [Vertically opposite angles]

So, by AAS congruence criterion, we have

ΔADF≅ΔECF

⇒  ar(ΔADF) = ar(ΔECF) and DF = CF .

Now, DF = CF

⇒  BF is a median in Δ BCD.

⇒  ar(ΔBCD) = 2ar(ΔBDF)

⇒ ar(ΔBCD) = 2×3cm2 = 6cm2

Hence, area of a parallelogram =  2ar(ΔBCD) = 2×6cm2 = 12cm2

 

Q 16. ABCD is a parallelogram whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at O . A line through O intersects AB at P and DC at Q. Prove that ar(ΔPOA) = ar(ΔQOC).

∠AOP = ∠COQ

AO = OC

∠PAC = ∠QCA

So, by ASA congruence criterion  , we have

ΔPOA≅ΔQOC

⇒   ar(ΔPOA) = ar(ΔQOC).

 

Q 17. ABCD is a parallelogram. E is a point on BA such that BE = 2EA and F is point on DC such that DF = 2FC. Prove that AECF is a parallelogram whose area is one third of the area of parallelogram ABCD.

Solution:

Draw FG ⊥ AB

We have,

BE = 2 EA and DF = 2FC

⇒  AB – AE = 2 AE and DC – FC = 2 FC

⇒  AB = 3 AE and DC = 3 FC

⇒ AE = Ex-15.3 (Part - 1), Areas Of Parallelograms And Triangles, Class 9, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 MathematicsAB and FC = Ex-15.3 (Part - 1), Areas Of Parallelograms And Triangles, Class 9, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 MathematicsDC⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(1)

But AB = DC

Then, AE = FC                                    [opposite sides of ||gm]

Thus, AE = FC and AE || FC

Then, AECF is a parallelogram

Now, area of parallelogram AECF =  AE×FG

⇒ ar(||gmAECF) = 13AB×FG          from(1)

⇒ 3ar(||gmAECF) = AB×FG       ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(2)

Andar(||gmABCD) = AB×FG        ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(3)

Compare equation 2 and 3

⇒ 3ar(||gmAECF) = ar(||gmABCD)

⇒ ar(||gmAECF) = Ex-15.3 (Part - 1), Areas Of Parallelograms And Triangles, Class 9, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematicsar(||gmABCD)

From 3 and 4, we get

∴ar(ΔARC) = ar(ΔPBQ)⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(5)
