उत्तर
Given:
(1) PQRS is a parallelogram.
(2) A, B, C, D are the midpoints of the adjacent sides of Parallelogram PQRS.
(3) `ar ("||"^(gm) PQRS) = 36 cm^2`
To find: `AR("||"^(gm) ABCD)`
Calculation:
A and C are the midpoints of PS and QR respectively.
`AP = 1/2 SP`
`BP = 1/2 QR`
Now PQRS is a parallelogram which means
`PS = QR `
`1/2PS = 1/2 QR`
AP = CQ ……..(1)
Also, PS || QR
AP || CQ ……(2)
From 1 and 2 we get that APCQ is a parallelogram.
Since Parallelogram APCQ and ΔABC are on the base AC and between the same parallels AC and PQ.
`∴ ar (ΔABC) = 1/2 ar ("||"^(gm) APCQ)` ……(3)
Similarly ,
`ar (ΔADC ) = 1/2 ar ("||"^(gm) ACRS)` ……(4)
Adding 3 and 4 we get,
`ar (ΔABC ) + ar (ΔADC) = 1/2 ar ("||"^(gm) APCQ) + 1/2 ar("||"^(gm) ACRS)`
`ar (ABCD ) = 1/2 (ar ("||"^(gm) APCQ ) + ar ("||"^(gm) ACRS))`
`ar (ABCD ) = 1/2 (ar("||"^(gm) PQRS))`
`ar (ABCD ) = 1/2 (36)`
`ar (ABCD) = 18 cm^2`

The King was very happy with carpenters Cheggu and Anar. They had made a very big and beautiful bed for him. So as gifts the king wanted to give some land to Cheggu, and some gold to Anar. Cheggu was happy. He took 100 meters of wire and tried to make different rectangles.
He made a 10 m × 40 m rectangle. Its area was 400 square meters. So he next made a 30 m × 20 m rectangle.
- What is its area? Is it more than the first rectangle?
