Step-by-step explanation:
Given : ABCD is a parallelogram. E is a point on BC. AE and DC are produced to meet at F.
To prove: area (ΔADF) = area (ABFC).
Proof :
area (ΔABC) = area (ΔABF) ...(1) (Triangles on the same base AB and between same parallels, AB || CF are equal in area)
area (ΔABC) = area (ΔACD) ...(2) (Diagonal of a Parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area)
Now,
area (ΔADF) = area (ΔACD) + area (ΔACF)
∴ area (ΔADF) = area (ΔABC) + area (ΔACF) (From (2))
⇒ area (ΔADF) = area (ΔABF) + area (ΔACF) (From (1))
⇒ area (ΔADF) = area (ΔABFC)
