Question

In the given figure, / || BC and D is mid-point of
BC.
If area (A4BC) = x x area (AEDC), find the value
of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure, BD=DC as D is the midpoint of BC.

Also △ABC and △EDC have same height as both have base and vertex on parallel lines.

∴ Ratio of areas of both depends on their base i.e BC and DC.

∴x=2 as BC=2×DC
