उत्तर
AD is the median of ΔABC. Therefore, it will divide ΔABC into two triangles of equal areas.
∴ Area (ΔABD) = Area (ΔACD)
⇒ Area (ΔABD) = 1/2Area (ΔABC)... (1)
In ΔABD, E is the mid-point of AD. Therefore, BE is the median.
∴ Area (ΔBED) = Area (ΔABE)
⇒ Area (ΔBED) = 1/2Area (ΔABD)
⇒ Area (ΔBED) = 1/2*1/2Area (ΔABC) [From equation (1)]
⇒ Area (ΔBED) = 1/4Area (ΔABC)

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.
