Two triangles having the same base (or equal bases) and equal areas lie between the same parallels.
EXAMPLE:-
■ Show that a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
ABC is a Triangle,
AD is A Median.
Median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
Let ABC be a triangle and let AD be one of its medians (see Fig. 9.21) You wish to show that
=> ar (ABD) = ar (ACD).
● Since the formula for area involves altitude, let us draw AN ⟂ BC.
Now,
=> ar(ABD) = ½ x base x altitude (of ABD)
=> ½ x BD x AN
=> ½ x CD x AN ( As BD = CD )
=> ½ x base x altitude (of Triangle ACD)
= ar(ACD).
