Given :
ABCD is a square whose one diagonal is AC. ΔAPC and ΔBQC are two equilateral triangles described on the diagonals AC and side BC of the square ABCD.
Proof :
Area(ΔBQC) = ½ Area(ΔAPC)
Since, ΔAPC and ΔBQC are both equilateral triangles, as per given,
∴ ΔAPC ~ ΔBQC [AAA similarity criterion]
∴ = (
Since, Diagonal = √2 side = √2 BC = AC
()2=2
⇒ area(ΔAPC) = 2 × area(ΔBQC)
⇒ area(ΔBQC) = ½ area(ΔAPC)
