Solution
Given: AB = 2 cm, BC = 6 cm, AE = 6 cm, BF = 8 cm, CE = 7 cm and CF = 7 cm
Consider ΔAEC and ΔBCF.
In ΔAEC, AE = 6 cm, EC = 7 cm and AC = 8 cm (2 + 6 = 8)
In ΔBCF, BC = 6 cm, CF = 7 cm and BF = 8 cm
∴ ΔAEC ≅ ΔBCF
∴ Area of ΔAEC = Area of ΔBCF ...(Two triangles are similar areas are equal)
Subtract area of ΔBDC on both sides we get,
Area of ΔAEC – Area of ΔBDC = Area of ΔBCF – Area of ΔBDC
Area of quadrilateral ABDE = Area of ΔCDF
