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.
