Given: A triangle PQR in which RS is a median To prove: ar (∆RPS) = ar (∆RSQ) Construction: Draw RL ⊥ PQ Proof: RS is median ⇒ PS = SQ ⇒ 1 2 12 x PS x RL = 1 2 12 x SQ x RL ⇒ ar (∆RPS) = ar (∆RSQ)Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/784964/prove-that-a-median-of-a-triangle-divides-it-into-two-triangles-of-equal-area

Answer:
Let ABC be a triangle and Let AD be one of its medians.
In △ABD and △ADC the vertex is common and these bases BD and DC are equal.
Draw AE⊥BC.
Now area(△ABD)=21×base×altitude of△ADB
=21×BD×AE
=21×DC×AE(∵BD=DC)
but DC and AE is the base and altitude of △ACD
=21× base DC × altitude of △ACD
=area△ACD
⇒area(△ABD)=area(△ACD)
Hence the median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
