The picture shows a rectangle divided into two parts. Instead of the broken line separating these parts, draw a straight line to divide the rectangle into two other parts of the same area. Calculate the areas of these parts.

Join PQ, draw a line parallel to PQ through O intersecting points are M and N line PN or MQ can make 2 parts with same area.

Prove that the areas of all three triangles in the picture on the right are equal to a third of the area of the whole triangle.

Mid point of AB is Q
∴ ∆ AQC and ∆ BQC have equal area’s P divides AQ in the ratio 2 : 1.
Area of ∆ APC is twice the area of ∆ AQP.
∴ Sum of the areas of ∆ AQP and ∆ BQP is equal to the sum of the area’s of ∆ APC and ∆ BPC.
The area of the APB, PCB and CPA are same. The area of three triangles is equal to the third of area of the whole triangle.

Question 4.
Prove that the lengths of the per-pendiculars from any point on the bisector of an angle to the sides are equal.

OC is the bisector of ∠AOB
C ia a point on this bisector.
CA is perpendicular to OA.
CB is perpendicular to OB.
We have to prove that CA = CB Consider the two triangle ∆ OAC and ∆ OBC.
OC = OC (Common side)
∠OAC = ∠OBC = 90°
∠AOC = ∠BOC (OC is the bisector of AOB)
One side and two angles on it of OAC are equal o one side and two angles on it of OBC.
So these triangles are equal.
Then sides opposite to equal angles are equal.
CA = CB
∴ The lengths of the perpendiculars from any point on the bisector of an angle to the sides are equal.

Question 5.
In the picture below, the side AC of the triangle ABC is extended to D, by adding the length of the side CB. Then the line through C parallel to DB is drawn to meet AB at E.

1. Prove that CE bisects ∠C.
2. Describe how this can be used to divide an 8 centimeters long line in the ratio 4 : 5.
3. Can we use it to divide an 8 centimeters long line in the ratio 3 : 4? How?

1. ∆ BCD is an equilateral triangle If∠CBD = x then ∠CDB = x
∠BCD = 180 – 2x
∠BCE = x
(line BC passing through parallel lines EC and BD makes equal angle)
∴ ∠ACE = x
∴ line CE bisects ∠C.

2. If AB = 8, AC = 4, and CB = 5
then the line CE divides AB in the ratio 4 : 5.

3. No.
We can’t draw a triangle with sides 8cm, 3cm and 4cm. Since 3 : 4 = 6 : 8, take 6cm and 8cm as two sides then find third side.

Question 6.
In the figure, the diagonals of a quadrilateral split it into four tri-angles. The areas of three of them are shown in the picture:

Calculate the area of the whole quadrilateral.
A line from the vertex of a triangle divides the length of the opposite side and the area of triangle in the same ratio.

In ∆ ACD, a line DE is drawn from D to AC.
∴ AE : EC = Area ∆ AED : Area of ∆ CED
AE : EC = 60 : 30 = 2 : 1
In ∆ ACB, a line BE is drawn from B to AC.
∴ AE : EC = Area of ∆ AEB : Area of ∆ CEB
2 : 1= Area of ∆ AEB : 40 = 2 : 1
∴ Area of ∆ AEB = $$\frac{40×20}{1}$$ =80 sq.cm
∴ Total area of the quadrilateral = 60 + 30 + 80 + 40 = 210 sq.cm

Question 7.
In this picture the hori∠ontal lines at the top and bottom are parallel.

Prove that the yellow and red tri-angles are of the same area.

AB ∥ DC
∴ Area of ∆ ABC = Area of ∆ ABD (Same base and the third vertex on a line parallel to the base)
Area of ∆ ABC – Area of ∆ ABE = Area of ∆ ABD – Area of ∆ ABE
∴ Area of ABEC = Area of ∆ AED ∆ AED ↔ ∆ BEC

Question 8.
In the figure, the diagonals of a trapezium split it into four triangles.

The area of the yellow triangle is 10 square centimetres and the area of the green triangle is 20 square centi – metres. What is the area of the whole trapezium?
Since quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezium, lines AB and CD are parallel.

So area of ∆ ABD = 20 + 10 = 30 sq.cm
Area of ∆ ABC = 30 sq.cm
(Same base and the third vertex on a line parallel to the base)
Area of ∆ ABC = 30 sq.cm
Area of ∆ ABE = 20 sq.cm
Area of ∆ BEC = 30 – 20 = 10 sq.cm
From ∆ ABC,
AE : EC = area of ∆ ABE : Area of ∆ BEC
AE : EC = 20 : 10 = 2 : 1
From ∆ ACD,
AE : EC = 10 : area of ∆ DEC 2 : 1 = 10: area of ∆ DEC
Area of ∆ DEC = $$\frac{1×10}{2}$$ sq.cm
Total area of the trapezium
= 20 + 10 + 10 + 5
= 45 sq.cm

Question 9.
The picture below shows a trapezium divided into four parts by the diagonals.

The area of the blue triangle is 4 square centimetres and the area of the green triangle is 9 square centimetres. What is the total area of the trapezium?

Area of ∆ AMD and ABMC are equal.
If area = A sq. cm then
9 : A = BM : MD
A : 4 = BM : MD;
9 : A = A : 4
A2 = 36
A = 6 sq. cm
∴ Area of trapezium = 6 + 4 + 6 + 9 = 25 sq. cm
