D, E, F are the mid points of side AB, BC, AC prove that BDEF is a parallelogram whose area is half that of `Delta` ABC

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


`"DE parallel to AB" =>"DE parallel to BF"`
`"similarly FE parallel to BD"->"BDEF is a parallelogram"`
`"similarly DCEF and AFDE is a parallelogram "`
`" In parallelogram BDFE, DF is a diagonal"`
`ar (/_\BDF)=ar(/_\DEF)->"eq(1)"`
`"In parallelogram DCEF, DE is a diagonal"`
`ar(/_\DCE)=ar(/_\DEF)->"eq(2)"`
`therefore "similarly ar"(/_\AFE)=ar(/_\DEF)->"eq(3)"`
