In triangle EFG,
OF is the median.
Therefore area(△EOF)=area(△GOF) (since median of a triangle divides the triangle into two triangles of equal area)––––(1)
In triangle FGH,
GO is the median.
Therefore, area(△HOG)=area(△GOF) (reason same as above)––––(2)
And in Triangle EHG,
HO is the median.
Therefore, area(△EOH)=area(△HOG) (reason same as above)––––(3)
From eq 1 , 2 and 3 it can be concluded that
ar(ΔGOF)=ar(ΔEOH)=ar(ΔGOH)=ar(ΔEOF)
