Question 5 iv...
Question
Question 5 (iv) In the following figure, ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles such that D is the mid-point of BC. If AE intersects BC at F, show that:
(iv) ar(BFE) = ar(AFD)
Open in App
Solution
(iv) It is seen that ΔBDE and ΔAED lie on the same base (DE) and between the
parallels DE and AB. ⇒ar(ΔBDE)=ar(ΔAED)
Then ar(ΔBDE)−ar(ΔFED)=ar(ΔAED)−ar(ΔFED) [Subtracting ar(ΔFED) from both sides] ∴ar(ΔBFE)=ar(ΔAFD)
