given
tri. ABC is similar to tri. PQR
And AD and PS are median
to prove
ar(Abc) AD^2
------------- = ---------
ar ( PQR) PS^2
proof ..
in tri. abc and tri. pqr
by bpt ....
AB / PQ = BC / QR
AB/PQ = BC/2/QR/2 ......(1)
therefore
AB/PQ = BD/QS .....{by (1)}
so by converse of bpt tri. ABD is similar to tri. PQS
so by bpt ..
AB /PQ = AD/PS ......(2)
by area thrm ...
ar(abc) AB^2
------------- = ----------
ar (pqr) PQ ^2
from equation (2)
ar(abc) AD ^2
------------ = -----------
ar(pqr) PS^2
hence proved
