उत्तर
Given: X and Y are points on the side LN such that LX = XY = YN and XZ || LM
To prove: ar (ΔLZY) = ar (MZYX)
Proof: Since, ΔXMZ and ΔXLZ are on the same base XZ and between the same parallel lines LM and XZ.
Then, ar (ΔXMZ) = ar (ΔXLZ) ...(i)
On adding ar (ΔXYZ) both sides of equation (i), we get
ar (ΔXMZ) + ar (ΔXXZ) = ar (ΔXLZ) + ar (ΔXYZ)
⇒ ar (MZYX) = ar (ΔLZY)
Hence proved.
