उत्तर
Given: ABCDE is a pentagon.
BP || AC and EQ|| AD.
To prove: ar (ABCDE) = ar (APQ)
Proof: We know that, triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
Here, ΔADQ and ΔADE lie on the same base AD and between the same parallels AD and EQ.
So, ar (ΔADQ) = ar (ΔADE) ...(i)
Similarly, ΔACP and ΔACB lie on the same base AC and between the same parallels AC and BP.
So, ar (ΔACP) = ar (ΔACB) ...(ii)
On adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
ar (ΔADQ) + ar (ΔACP) = ar (ΔADE) + ar (ΔACB)
On adding ar (ΔACD) both sides, we get
ar (ΔADQ) + ar (ΔACP) + ar (ΔACD) = ar (ΔADE) + ar (ΔACB) + ar (ΔACD)
⇒ ar (ΔAPQ) = ar (ABCDE)
Hence proved.
