`XY` is a line parallel to side `BC` of a triangle `ABC`. If `B E ||A C` and `C F\ ||\ A B` meet `XY` at `E` and `F` respectively, show that `a r\ (A B E)\ =\ a r\ (A C F)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Draw prependiculars GM and DN from C and D respectively to AB.
Given that
area of `Delta AOD = " area of "DeltaBOC`
Adding area of `Delta AOB` on both sides.
area of `Delta AOD + " area of " Delta AOB`
= area of `DeltaBOC + " area of "DeltaAOB`
`rArr` area of `DeltaABD = " area of "DeltaABC`
`rArr` area of `DeltaABD = " area of "DeltaABC`
`rArr (1)/(2) xx AB xx DN = (1)/(2) xx AB xx CM`
`rArr DN = CM`

`:. DC||AB`
(perpendicular distancce between two parallel lines area always same)
`:. square ABCD` is a trapezium.
