Solution

Given: (1) ABCD is a rectangle.

(2) AB = 10 cm

(3) AD = 5cm

To find: Area of ΔEGF.

Calculation: We know that,

Area of Rectangle = base × height

If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, the area of the triangle is equal to half of the parallelogram

Here we can see that Rectangle ABCD and triangle GEF are between the same base and same parallels.

Hence,

Hence we get the result as Area of ΔGEF =
