Question

The diagonals of a trapezium ABCD with AB||DC intersect each other at point O. If AB = 2CD, find the ratio of the ares of triangle AOB and COD.

Answer 1

here is ur answer guys

Answer 2

Given that,

AB = 2 CD

The diagonals of a trapezium ABCD.

AB║DC intersect each other at point O.

We know that,

In the triangles AOB and COD

We know that,

Vertically opposite angles are equal

$\angle DOC = \angle BOA$

Alternate interior angles

$\angle CDO=\angle ABO$

$\angle DCO=\angle BAO$

So, $\triangle AOB\approx \triangle COD$

We need to calculate the ratio of the ares of triangle AOB and COD.

By the similarity rule,

The ratio of the areas of the similar triangles is the ratio of the square of corresponding sides.

Area Δ AOB : Area Δ COD = AB²:CD²

Put the value of AB

Area Δ AOB : Area Δ COD = AB²:CD²

Area Δ AOB : Area Δ COD = (2CD)²:CD²

Area Δ AOB : Area Δ COD = 4CD²:CD²

Area Δ AOB : Area Δ COD = 4:1

Hence, The ratio of the area of triangle AOB and COD is 4:1.
