Question

3. In a trapezium ABCD AB CD, the diagonals AC and BD intersect at 'P'. If AB: CD - 2:1,
then area of ACPD : area of AAPB​

Answer 1

Answer:

ABCD is a trapezium in which, AB ∥ CD and diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O.

In ΔAOB and ΔCOD we have

∠1=∠2 [Alt ∠s]

∠3=∠4 [vert opp. \angle s\therefor \Delta AOB \sim \Delta COD$$

[By AA criterion of similarity]

⇒

ar(ΔCOD)

ar(ΔAOB)

=

(CD)

(2CD)

[AB = 2CD (Given)]

=

=4

=

ar(ΔCOD)

84

=4;

∴ar(ΔCOD)=84+4=21cm
