उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Given: ΔABC and ΔBDE are two equilateral triangles.
Suppose that each sides of triangle ABC be x.
Similarly, D is the mid-point of BC.
So, each side of triangle BDE is `x/2`.
Now, `(Area(ΔBDE))/(Area(ΔABC)) = (sqrt(3)/4 xx (x/2)^2)/(sqrt(3) / 4 xx x^2)`
= `x^2/(4x^2)`
= `1/4`
Therefore, area (ΔBDE) = `1/4` area (ΔABC).
