In a given figure, BE is a median of â–³ABD. If the area of parallelogram ABCD is 24 cm2. Then the area of â–³ABE is:
6 cm2
In a parallelogram, triangle between the same parallels and on the same base have area which is equal to the half of that of parallelogram.
So, area of △ABD=12 area of (ABCD)
BE is a median
Area of △ABE=12area of △ABD (Median divides the triangle into 2 equal areas)
Therefore, area of △ABE
=14 area of (ABCD)=14×24=6 cm2
