उत्तर
Given in the question, A point E is taken on the side BC of a parallelogram ABCD. AE and DC are produced to meet at F.
Prove that ar (ADF) = ar (ABFC)
Proof: ABCD is a parallelogram and AC divides it into two triangle of equal area.
ar (ΔADC) = ar (ΔABC) ...(I)
So, DC || AB and CF || AB
As we know that triangle on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
So, ar (ΔACF) = ar (ΔBCF) ...(II)
Adding equation (I) and (II), we get
ar (ΔADC) + ar (ACF) = ar (ΔABC) + ar (ΔBCF)
ar (ΔADF) = ar (ABFC)
Hence proved.
