a+b square
Answer:
Area of ΔABC is 4 units² and Area of ∆DEF is 1 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given In ∆ABC
D , F and E are the midpoints of sides AB, BC and CA respectively.
Coordinate of vertex are the folowing:
Now, using formula of area of triangle using coordinate geometry
Area of ∆ADE=
=
=
= 1 units²
Now we use a result which states that Mid point of sides of a triangle divides it into 4 congruent triangle when the three mid points are joined together.
Here, in ∆ABC D , F and E are the midpoints of sides AB , BC and CA respectively , then ∆ABC is divided into four congruent triangles, when the three midpoints are joined to each other
So, Area of ∆ABC = 4 × ar ( ∆ADE )
= 4 × 1
= 4 units²
Also, area of ∆DEF = area of ∆ADE = 1 units²
Therefore, Area of ΔABC is 4 units² and Area of ∆DEF is 1 units²
