Question

If E is any point on median AD of ABC prove that A(ABE)=A(ACE).

Open in App
Solution

ABC is a triangle with AD as median
i.e, BD=CD
E is any point on AD
Join EB and EC
In ΔABC
D is the midpoint of BC
therefore AD is median
since median divides a triangle a triangle into two triangle of equal area
ar(ΔABD)=ar(ΔACD)(1)
similarly, In ΔEBC
D is the midpoint of BC
therefore ED is the median
hence, ar(ΔEBD)=ar(ΔECD)(2)
subtracting (1) and (2)
ar(ΔABD)ar(ΔEBD)=ar(ΔACD)ar(ΔECD)ar(ΔABE)=ar(ΔACE)
