Question

In ABC, P and R are the mid-points of AB and AC and T is any point on BC. Prove that the quadrilateral PART=half of triangle ABC

plz solve it urgently.. I am lowering my head in your feet ..plz help me ..plz solve this​

Answer 1

Answer:

I have solved

Step-by-step explanation:

Between the triangle ARP and CRQ applying mid point theorem

RP ∥ BC and

RP =

2

1

BC = CQ.

And AR = RC ( R is the mid point of AC )

again PR ∥ BC and AC is the transversal.

Therefore angle ARP = angle RCQ.

Therefore the triangles are congruent by SAS test.

Area ΔARP=AreaΔ RCQ.

By applying the same midpoint theorem we can prove that each of the four triangles have the same area.

So, they divide the triangle into four equal areas.

Now total area = 20 sq. cm.

Therefore area of the Δ PQR is 20 sq.cm divided by 4 = 5 sq.cm
