The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the areas of triangles formed by point X inside rectangle PQRS. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Rectangle and Point**: - We have a rectangle PQRS with vertices P, Q, R, and S. - Let X be a point inside the rectangle. 2. **Understanding Triangle Areas**: - When point X is connected to the vertices of the rectangle, it creates four triangles: - Triangle PSX - Triangle QSX - Triangle RXQ - Triangle PXQ 3. **Using the Area Relationship**: - The key property we will use is that the area of triangles that share a common base and height can be compared. - The area of triangle PSX is opposite to the area of triangle RXQ, and the area of triangle PXQ is opposite to the area of triangle QSX. 4. **Setting Up the Equation**: - According to the properties of triangles formed by a point inside a rectangle, we can state: \[ \text{Area of } \triangle PSX + \text{Area of } \triangle RXQ = \text{Area of } \triangle QSX + \text{Area of } \triangle PXQ \] 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - Now, we can check the options given in the question: - **Option 1**: Area of triangle PSX = Area of triangle RXQ (not true) - **Option 2**: Area of triangle PSX + Area of triangle PXQ = Area of triangle RSX + Area of triangle RXQ (not true) - **Option 3**: Area of triangle PSX + Area of triangle RXQ = Area of triangle RSX + Area of triangle PXQ (this is true) - **Option 4**: None of these (not applicable) 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct statement is that the area of triangle PSX plus the area of triangle RXQ is equal to the area of triangle QSX plus the area of triangle PXQ. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 3**: Area of triangle PSX + Area of triangle RXQ = Area of triangle QSX + Area of triangle PXQ.
