Answer:
Theorem 1: Two triangles on the same base (or equal bases) and between the same parallels are equal in area.
Now, suppose ABCD is a parallelogram whose one of the diagonals is AC. Let AN ⊥ DC. Note that
Δ ADC ≅ Δ CBA
So, ar (ADC) = ar (CBA)
Therefore, ar (ADC) = ar (ABDC)
=(DCxAN)
So,area of Δ ADC =× base DC × corresponding altitude AN
In other words, area of a triangle is half the product of its base (or any side) and the corresponding altitude (or height). From this formula, you can see that two triangles with same base (or equal bases) and equal areas will have equal corresponding altitudes.
