Diagonals AC and BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect each other at P. Show that ar (APB) × ar (CPD) = ar (APD) × ar (BPC).
[Hint : From A and C, draw perpendiculars to BD.]

उत्तर
Let us draw AM ⊥ BD and CN ⊥ BD
`"Area of a triangle "=1/2xx"Base"xx"Altitude"`
`ar(APB)xxar(CPD)=[1/2xxBPxxAM]xx[1/2xxPDxxCN]`
`=1/4xxBPxxAMxxPDxxCN`
`ar(APD)xxar(BPC)=[1/2xxPDxxAM]xx[1/2xxCNxxBP]`
`=1/4xxPDxxAMxxCNxxBP`
`=1/4xxBPxxAMxxPDxxCN`
∴ ar (APB) × ar (CPD) = ar (APD) × ar (BPC)

Can you answer the question that you have left in the ’Introduction’ of this chapter, whether the field of Budhia has been actually divided into three parts of equal area?
[Remark: Note that by taking BD = DE = EC, the triangle ABC is divided into three triangles ABD, ADE and AEC of equal areas. In the same way, by dividing BC into n equal parts and joining the points of division so obtained to the opposite vertex of BC, you can divide ΔABC into n triangles of equal areas.]
