In the given figure, diagonals PR and QS of the parallelogram PQRS intersect at point O and LM is parallel to PS.
Show that :
Area (

Open in App
Solution
In given figure parallelogram PQRS , PR and QS diagonal intersect at O.
We know that the diagonal intersect at right angle each other
The line LM is parallel to PS
Then diagonal of
parallelogram divided in equal
area of triangles
Then area
