Step-by-step explanation:
two parallelograms ABCD and EFCD are given on the same base DC and between the same parallels.
We need to prove that,
Area (ABCD) = Area (EFCD)
In ∆ ADE and ∆ BCF,
∠ DAE = ∠ CBF … (1)
These are corresponding angles from AD parallel to BC and transversal to AF.
∠ AED = ∠ BFC … (2)
These are corresponding angles from ED parallel to FC and transversal to AF.
Therefore, using the angle sum property of triangles,
∠ ADE = ∠ BCF … (3)
Also, being the opposite sides of the parallelogram ABCD, AD = BC … (4)
So, by using the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) rule of congruence and (1), (3) and (4), we have
∆ ADE ≅ ∆ BCF
We know that congruent figures have equal areas.
Hence,
Area (ADE) = Area (BCF) … (5)
Now, Area (ABCD) = Area (ADE) + Area (EDCB)
From the equation (5),
Therefore
Area (ABCD) = Area (BCF) + Area (EDCB) … [From (5)]= Area (EFCD)
So, the area of parallelogram ABCD and EFCD is equal.
