A farmer thought of dividing the triangular plot ABC between his son and a daughter. A(4,-6), B(3, -2) and C(5, 2) are the vertices of that triangular plot. He drew a line AD in such a way that D is the mid-point of BC. Prove that the line AD divides the plot into two smaller triangular pieces of equal area. What values of farmer are depicted by this division?

According to question
Vertices of triangular Plot
A = (4, -6)
B = (3, -2)
C = (5, 2)
Also
D is the mid point on BC
Thus
Coordinates of D = [ 3+5 / 2, -2+2 / 2 ]
= [ 4, 0 ]
Thus
D = (4, 0)
Now Area of traingle
Area of triangle ABD = 1/2 [ -1 * 6 - 0 * 4 ]
= 1/2 * -6
= -3
Area of triangle ACD = 1/2 [ 1* 6 - 0 * 8 ]
= 3
