In figure X and Y are the mid-points of AC and AB respectively, QP || BC and CYQ and BXP are straight lines. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

Given X and Y are the mid-points of AC and AB respectively. Also, QP|| BC and CYQ, BXP are straight lines. To prove ar (ΔABP) = ar (ΔACQ) Proof Since, X and Y are the mid-points”of AC and AB respectively. So, XY || BC We know that, triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area. Here, ΔBYC and ΔBXC lie on same base BC and between the same parallels BC and XY. So, ar (ΔBYC) = ar (ΔBXC) On subtracting ar (ΔBOC)from both sides, we get ar (ΔBYC) – ar (ΔBOC) = ar (ΔBXC) – ar (ΔBOC) =» ar (ΔBOY) = ar (ΔCOX) On adding ar (ΔXOY) both sides, we get ar (ΔSOY) + ar (ΔXOY) = ar (ΔCOX) + ar (ΔXOY) ⇒ ar (ΔBYX) = ar (ΔCXY) …(i) Hence, we observe that quadrilaterals XYAP and YXAQ are on the same base XY and between the same parallels XY and PQ. ar (XYAP) = ar (YXAQ) …(ii) On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get ar (ΔBYX) + ar (XYAP) = ar (ΔCXY) + ar (YXAQ) ⇒ ar (ΔABP) = ar (ΔACQ) Hence proved.
