प्रश्न
The side AB of a parallelogram ABCD is produced to any point P. A line through A and parallel to CP meets CB produced at Q and then parallelogram PBQR is completed (see the following figure). Show that
ar (ABCD) = ar (PBQR).
[Hint: Join AC and PQ. Now compare area (ACQ) and area (APQ)]

उत्तर
Let us join AC and PQ.
ΔACQ and ΔAQP are on the same base AQ and between the same parallels AQ and CP.
∴ Area (ΔACQ) = Area (ΔAPQ)
⇒ Area (ΔACQ) − Area (ΔABQ) = Area (ΔAPQ) − Area (ΔABQ)
⇒ Area (ΔABC) = Area (ΔQBP) ... (1)
Since AC and PQ are diagonals of parallelograms ABCD and PBQR respectively,
∴ Area (ΔABC) = 1/2Area (ABCD) ... (2)
Area (ΔQBP) = 1/2Area (PBQR) ... (3)
From equations (1), (2), and (3), we obtain
1/2Area (ABCD) = 1/2Area (PBQR)
Area (ABCD) = Area (PBQR)

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.]
