Question
AE || BC and D is the mid-point of BC. If area ABC = 84 cm2, what is area of BDE?
AE || BC And D Is The Mid-point Of BC. If Area △ABC = 84 ...
Options:
A .  21cm2
B .  42cm2
C .  63 cm2
D .  84 cm2
Answer: Option B
:
B
AE || BC And D Is The Mid-point Of BC. If Area △ABC = 84 ...
If we draw EC, we can see that△ABCand△BECwill have equal area. Because triangles on same base and between same parallels are equal in area.
In△ABCand△BDEthe altitudeis same but the length of the base is different.
Base length (△ABC) = 2 × Base length (△BDE) ( D is the mid point)
So, Area (△ABC) = 2 × Area (△BDE)
Area (△BDE) = 42 cm2
