उत्तर

Given: In square ABCD, E and F are the mid-points of BC and CD respectively. Also, R is the mid-point of EF.
To prove: ar (AER) = ar (AFR).
Construction: Draw AN ⊥ EF.
Proof: ar (ΔAER) = `1/2` × Base × Height
= `1/2 xx ER xx AN`
= `1/2 xx FR xx AN` ...[∵ R is the mid-point of EF, so ER = FR]
= ar (ΔAFR)
Hence proved.
