उत्तर
It is given that
Area (ΔAOD) = Area (ΔBOC)
Area (ΔAOD) + Area (ΔAOB) = Area (ΔBOC) + Area (ΔAOB)
Area (ΔADB) = Area (ΔACB)
We know that triangles on the same base having areas equal to each other lie between the same parallels.
Therefore, these triangles, ΔADB and ΔACB, are lying between the same parallels.
i.e., AB || CD
Therefore, ABCD is a trapezium.

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.
