उत्तर
(i) ΔACB and ΔACF lie on the same base AC and are between
The same parallels AC and BF.
∴ Area (ΔACB) = Area (ΔACF)
(ii) It can be observed that
Area (ΔACB) = Area (ΔACF)
⇒ Area (ΔACB) + Area (ACDE) = Area (ACF) + Area (ACDE)
⇒ Area (ABCDE) = Area (AEDF)

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.
