उत्तर
(i) It can be observed that parallelogram PQRS and ABRS lie on the same base SR
and also, these lie in between the same parallel lines SR and PB.
∴ Area (PQRS) = Area (ABRS) ... (1)
(ii) Consider ΔAXS and parallelogram ABRS.
As these lie on the same base and are between the same parallel lines AS and BR,
∴ Area (ΔAXS) = 1/2Area (ABRS) ... (2)
From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
Area (ΔAXS) = 1/2Area (PQRS)
