In the given figure, E is any point on median AD of a ΔABC. Show that ar (ABE) = ar (ACE)

उत्तर
AD is the median of ΔABC. Therefore, it will divide ΔABC into two triangles of equal areas.
∴ Area (ΔABD) = Area (ΔACD) ... (1)
ED is the median of ΔEBC.
∴ Area (ΔEBD) = Area (ΔECD) ... (2)
On subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we obtain
Area (ΔABD) − Area (EBD) = Area (ΔACD) − Area (ΔECD)
Area (ΔABE) = Area (ΔACE)

Can you answer the question that you have left in the ’Introduction’ of this chapter, whether the field of Budhia has been actually divided into three parts of equal area?

[Remark: Note that by taking BD = DE = EC, the triangle ABC is divided into three triangles ABD, ADE and AEC of equal areas. In the same way, by dividing BC into n equal parts and joining the points of division so obtained to the opposite vertex of BC, you can divide ΔABC into n triangles of equal areas.]
