Question
In the given figure, the sides YX, XZ, ZY are extended such that MY=YZ, NX=XY, XZ=ZO. The area of XYZ = 10, what is the area of DMNO ___
Answer:
:
In the given figure, let’s join Y to O, Z to N and X to M.
Consider DMNY, since MX is a median, area ofD MXN = area of DMXY.
But, area of DMXY = area of DXZY (XY is a median). Thus area of DMXN=area of DXZY
This is continued for all the smaller triangles formed, hence DMNO = 7D XZY.
Thus area of DMNO = 70.
