उत्तर
(i) In ΔABC,
E and F are the mid-points of side AC and AB respectively.
Therefore, EF || BC and EF = 1/2BC (Mid-point theorem)
However, BD = 1/2BC (D is the mid-point of BC)
Therefore, BD = EF and BD || EF
Therefore, BDEF is a parallelogram.
(ii) Using the result obtained above, it can be said that quadrilaterals BDEF, DCEF, AFDE are parallelograms.
We know that diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.
∴Area (ΔBFD) = Area (ΔDEF) (For parallelogram BD)
Area (ΔCDE) = Area (ΔDEF) (For parallelogram DCEF)
Area (ΔAFE) = Area (ΔDEF) (For parallelogram AFDE)
∴Area (ΔAFE) = Area (ΔBFD) = Area (ΔCDE) = Area (ΔDEF)
Also,
Area (ΔAFE) + Area (ΔBDF) + Area (ΔCDE) + Area (ΔDEF) = Area (ΔABC)
⇒ Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔDEF) = Area (ΔABC)
⇒ 4 Area (ΔDEF) = Area (ΔABC)
⇒ Area (ΔDEF) = 1/4Area (ΔABC)
(iii) Area (parallelogram BDEF) = Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔBDF)
⇒ Area (parallelogram BDEF) = Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔDEF)
⇒ Area (parallelogram BDEF) = 2 Area (ΔDEF)
⇒ Area (parallelogram BDEF)`= 2xx1/4"Area "(ΔABC)`
⇒ Area (parallelogram BDEF) = 1/2Area (ΔABC)
