उत्तर

It can be observed that ΔADX and ΔACX lie on the same base AX and are between the same parallels AB and DC.
∴ Area (ΔADX) = Area (ΔACX) ... (1)
ΔACY and ΔACX lie on the same base AC and are between the same parallels AC and XY.
∴ Area (ΔACY) = Area (ACX) ... (2)
From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
Area (ΔADX) = Area (ΔACY)

A villager Itwaari has a plot of land of the shape of a quadrilateral. The Gram Panchayat of the village decided to take over some portion of his plot from one of the corners to construct a Health Centre. Itwaari agrees to the above proposal with the condition that he should be given equal amount of land in lieu of his land adjoining his plot so as to form a triangular plot. Explain how this proposal will be implemented.
