In trapezium ABCD, `AB || DC` and L is the mid-point of BC. Through L, a line `PQ || AD` has been drawn which meets AB in P and DC produced in Q. Prove that ar (ABCD) = ar (APQD).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`triangleMQCcongtriangleMPB" " [therefore CM=BM, angleCMQ=angleBMP, angleMCQ=angleMBP]`.
`therefore ar(triangleMQC)=ar(triangleMPB)`
`rArr ar(triangleMQC)+ar(APCD)=ar(triangleMPB)+ar(APCD)`
`rArr ar(APQD)=ar(ABCD)`.
