Solution
Given: (1) Median of ΔABC meet at G.
(2) Area of ΔABC = 27 cm2
To find: Area of ΔBCG.
We know that the medians of the triangle divides each other in the ratio of 2:1
Hence,
ar (ΔBED) = `1/2 xx BC xx GD`
ar (ΔBED) =`1/2 xx BC xx 1/3 (AD)`
ar (ΔBED) =`1/3(1/2xx AD xx BC)`
ar (ΔBED) =`1/3 (Δ ABC)`
ar (ΔBED) = = `1/3(27)`
ar (ΔBED) == 9 cm2

The King was very happy with carpenters Cheggu and Anar. They had made a very big and beautiful bed for him. So as gifts the king wanted to give some land to Cheggu, and some gold to Anar. Cheggu was happy. He took 100 meters of wire and tried to make different rectangles.
He made a 10 m × 40 m rectangle. Its area was 400 square meters. So he next made a 30 m × 20 m rectangle.
