It is given that
Area (DAOD) = area (DBOC)
Area (DAOD) + area (DAOB) = area (DBOC) + area (DAOB)
Area (DADB) = area (DACB)
We know that triangles, on same base having areas equal to each other lie
between the same parallels.
So, these triangles DADB and DACB are lying between the same parallels.
i.e. AB || CD
So, ABCD is a trapezium
Area (DAOD) = area (DBOC)
Area (DAOD) + area (DAOB) = area (DBOC) + area (DAOB)
Area (DADB) = area (DACB)
