In the given figure, ABCD is a parallelogram and L is the mid point of of DC. If ar(qua. ABCL) is 72 cm2, then find ar(triangleADC).
please give the answer quickly. It's urgent !
Answers
ar(ABC) + ar(ACL) = 72cm2
ar(ABC) + 1/2ar(ADC) = 72cm2 ( L is mid point DC so, AL is median of ∆ ADC)
ar(ABC) + 1/2ar(ABC) = 72cm2 (∆s have equal area of llgm)
3ar(ABC)/2 = 72cm2
ar(ABC) = 72*2/3
ar (ABC) = 48cm2
so, ar(ADC) = 48cm2
hence proved
- The Area of ∆ADC is equal to 48 cm² .
Given :- ABCD is a parallelogram and L is the mid point of of DC. Ar(qua. ABCL) is 72 cm² .
To Find :-
- Ar(∆ ADC) = ?
Concept used :-
- The median of a triangle divides a triangle into two triangles of equal area .
- The diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area .
Solution :-
given that,
→ Ar(qua. ABCL) = 72 cm²
So,
→ Ar(∆ABC) + Ar(∆CAL) = 72 cm² ----- Equation (1)
now,
→ Ar(∆ABC) = Ar(∆ADC) { The diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area } ------- Equation (2)
putting Equation (2) in Equation (1) we get,
→ Ar(∆ADC) + Ar(∆CAL) = 72 cm² ---- Equation (3)
Now,
→ Ar(∆ADC) = Ar(∆CAL) + Ar(∆LAD)
→ Ar(∆ADC) = Ar(∆CAL) + Ar(∆CAL) { since AL is median of ∆ADC and the median of a triangle divides a triangle into two triangles of equal area }
→ Ar(∆ADC) = 2•Ar(∆CAL)
→ Ar(∆CAL) = (1/2)•Ar(∆ADC) ------ Equation (4)
finally, putting Equation (4) in Equation (3) we get,
→ Ar(∆ADC) + (1/2)•Ar(∆ADC) = 72
→ Ar(∆ADC)[1 + (1/2)] = 72
→ Ar(∆ADC) × (3/2) = 72
→ Ar(∆ADC) = 72 × (2/3)
→ Ar(∆ADC) = 24 × 2
→ Ar(∆ADC) = 48 cm² (Ans.)
Hence, the Area of ∆ADC is equal to 48 cm² .
