Question
In ∆ABC, B – D – C and BD = 7, BC = 20 then Find following ratio.
\[\frac{A\left( ∆ ADC \right)}{A\left( ∆ ABC \right)}\]
Advertisements
Solution
Construction: Draw a perpendicular from vertex A to line BC.
\[\frac{A\left( ∆ ADC \right)}{A\left( ∆ ABC \right)} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times AX \times DC}{\frac{1}{2} \times AX \times BC}\]
\[ = \frac{DC}{BC}\]
\[ = \frac{13}{20} \left( \because DC = BC - BD \right)\]

Prove that, The areas of two triangles with the same height are in proportion to their corresponding bases. To prove this theorem start as follows:
- Draw two triangles, give the names of all points, and show heights.
- Write 'Given' and 'To prove' from the figure drawn.
In the figure, PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC. To find the ratio of A(ΔPQB) and A(ΔPBC), complete the following activity.
Given: PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC
Now, A(ΔPQB) = `1/2 xx square xx square`
A(ΔPBC) = `1/2 xx square xx square`
Therefore,
`(A(ΔPQB))/(A(ΔPBC)) = (1/2 xx square xx square)/(1/2 xx square xx square)`
= `square/square`
