  1.     Area of ∆BEC and ∆ BDC are equal.
  2.     12 Area of BDEC = Area of ∆BDC
  3.     DE is parallel to BC
  4.     Area of ∆DOB = Area of ∆EOC

Answer: Option A. -> Area of ∆BEC and ∆ BDC are equal.
:
A, C, and D

In Δ Triangle ABC, D And E Are The Midpoints Of Side AB And...D and E are the midpoints of AB and AC.
DE will be parallel to BC (Midpoint theorem).
Area of ∆BEC and ∆BDC will be equal as they are on the same base and between  the same parallel lines.
Also, Area of ∆BEC - Area of ∆BOC = Area of ∆BDC - Area of ∆BOC.
Thus, Area of ∆DOB = Area of ∆EOC.

CF when drawn parallel to AB, forms parallelogram ABCF.


AC is the diagonal of the parallelogram that divides ABCF into 2 equal triangles ABC and ACF.


So, Area of ΔACF = Area of ΔABC = 12×6×8=24 cm2


Question 44.

If A, B, C, D Are Mid-points Of Sides Of Parallelogram PQRS,...


Draw a line joining D and B.


See that parallelogram PDBQ and triangle ADB are on same base and between same parallels PQ and DB.


Area(ADB) = 12 Area(PDBQ) = 14 Area(PQRS)


Similarly, Area(DCB) = 12 Area(DBRS) = 14 Area(PQRS)


Area(DABC) = Area(ADB) + Area(DCB) = 12 Area(PQRS)


Area(PQRS) = 2 × Area(DABC)


Question 45.


If 1, 2, 3 and 4 represent the areas of the four triangles (of a parallelogram) with different shades, then _______.


If 1, 2, 3 And 4 Represent The Areas Of The Four Triangles (...


  1.     2 = 3, 1 ≠ 4
  2.     1 = 2 = 3 = 4
  3.     1 ≠ 2, 3 = 4
  4.     1 = 2, 3 ≠ 4

Consider the figure below:If 1, 2, 3 And 4 Represent The Areas Of The Four Triangles (...


In DAO and OCB
DAO=OCB(Alternate angles)ADO=CBO(Alternate angles)AD=CB(Opposite sides of parallelogram)Hence, ΔADOΔCBO(AAS congruence)Similarly it can be proved thatArea(ΔDOC)=Area(Δ(BOA)
In ABD,  AO is the median.
A median divides a triangle into two equal parts. 
Hence 1 = 4
Similarly 2 = 3
1=2=3=4


Question 46.


In the given figure ABCD is a parallelogram. If area of parallelogram ABCD = 1728 square units, then area BEC = ____ square units.


In The Given Figure ABCD Is A Parallelogram. If Area Of Para...


  1.     1728 square units   
  2.     864 square units   
  3.     432 square units         
  4.     400 square units     
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 864 square units   
:
B

If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram.


So, Area BEC =  12 × Area parallelogram ABCD


Area BEC = 12 × 1728


                      = 864 square units


Question 47.

ABCD Is A Parallelogram And P,Q Are The Midpoints Of DC And ...


Parallelogram ABCD and triangle ABD are on the same base and between same parallels .


Area(ADB) = 12 Area of parallelogram(ABCD)


As P and Q are the midpoints of DC and AB, Area of parallelogram(AQPD) = 12Area of parallelogram(ABCD)


So, Area(ADB) = Area of parallelogram(AQPD)

Which Of The Following Figures Lie On The Same Base And Betw...


In fig 1, BC is the base for quadrilateral ABCD and ΔBEC lies between two parallel lines (BC and AD). In fig 4, AB is the base for quadrilateral ABCD and ΔABD lies between two parallel lines. Hence, options A and D are correct.


Question 49.


In the figure, ABCD is a parallelogram, AB and BC are equal to 15 cm and 6 cm respectively. If DF = 4 cm, what is the value of BE?

C

In The Figure, ABCD Is A Parallelogram, AB And BC Are Equal ...


Given
BC = 6 cm
AD = BC (parallel sides of a parallelogram are equal)
Area (ABCD) = Base × Height
                        = AB × DF = AD × BE

AB × DF = 15 cm × 4 cm
                = 60 square cm
AD × BE = 60 square cm
BE × 6 cm = 60 square cm
BE = 10 cm

What Is The Area Of △ABC (in Square Cm) If AD Is The Media...


A median of the triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area.


So, Area (ABC) = 2 × Area (ADB) = 2 × 18 = 36 square cm.
