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)
