Question

In the given figure, ABCD, ABFE and CDEF are parallelograms. Prove that
ar(Δ ADE) = ar(Δ BCF)

Answer 1

Given:

(1) ABCD is a parallelogram,

(2) ABFE is a parallelogram

(3) CDEF is a parallelogram

To prove: Area of ΔADE = Area of ΔBCF

Proof:

We know that,” opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal”

Therefore for

Parallelogram ABCD, AD = BC

Parallelogram ABFE, AE = BF

Parallelogram CDEF, DE = CF.

Thus, in ΔADE and ΔBCF, we have

So be SSS criterion we have

This means that

Hence it is proved that
