In a given figure, BE is a median of △ABD and the area of parallelogram ABCD is 24 cm2. Find the area of △ABE.
In a parallelogram, the triangle between the same parallels and on the same base has an area which is equal to half of that of a parallelogram.
So, area of △ABD=12 area of (ABCD) and BE is a median.
Area of △ABE=12area of △ABD (Median divides the triangle into 2 equal parts)
Therefore, area of △ABE=14 area of (ABCD)=14×24=6 cm2
