X is the mid point of both the diagonals[diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other]
In tri. EFG
XF is the median
therefore ar (EXF)=ar (GXF)[since, median of a triangle divides the triangle into two triangles of equal area]
In tri. FGH
GX is the median
therefore ar (HXG)=ar (GXF) [since, median of a triangle divides the triangle into two triangles of equal area]
therefore ar (EXF)=ar (GXF)=ar (HXG)
{Hence proved}
