उत्तर

Since triangle EDG and EGA are on the same base EG and between the same parallel lines EG and DA.
Therefore,
A(ΔEDG) = A(ΔEGA)
Subtracting ΔEOG from both sides, we have
A(ΔEOD) = A(ΔGOA) ...(i)
Similarly,
A(ΔDPC) = A(ΔBPF) ...(ii)
Now
A(ΔGDF) = A(ΔGOA) + A(ΔBPF) + A(pen. ABPDO)
= A(ΔEOD) + A(ΔDPC) + A(pen. ABPDO)
= A(pen. ABCDE)
Hence, proved.
