ABC is a triangle in which D, E, F are the mid-points of BC, AC and AB respectively. If Area (ΔABC) = 32 cm2, then area of trapezium BFEC is ______        ABC Is A Triangle In Which D, E, F Are The Mid-points Of BC,...


Options:
A .   8 cm2
B .   16 cm2
C .   24 cm2
D .   32 cm2
Answer: Option C
:
C

ABC Is A Triangle In Which D, E, F Are The Mid-points Of BC,...Given: In ABC,  D,E and F are midpoints of BC, CA and AB.
Area (ΔABC) = 32 cm2
To find: Area of trapezium BFEC


Consider ABC,
F and E are midpoints of AB and AC. (given)
  FE  BC      (Midpoint theorem)
  FE  BD     
Similarly ED AB and FD AC
FEDB, FDEC and FDEA are all parallelograms.
Since a diagonal divides a parallelogram into two congruent triangles, hence
Area(ΔBFD)=Area(ΔEFD)=Area(ΔECD)=Area(ΔEFA)
=14Area(ΔABC)=8 cm2
Area(BFEC)
=Area(ΔBFD)+Area(ΔEFD)+Area(ΔECD)=24 cm2
