# ABCD IS A PARALLELOGRAM, G IS THE POINT ON AB SUCH THAT AG = 2GB, E IS A POINT OF CD SUCH THAT CE = 2DE AND AND F IS A POINT OF BC SUCH THAT BF = 2FC. PROVE THAT1) ar(ADEG) = ar(GBCE), 2) ar(EGB) = 1/6 ar(ABCD) , 3) ar(EFC) = 1/2 ar(EBF) , 4) ar(EBG) = ar(EFC) , 5) FIND WHAT PORTION OF THE ARE OF PARALLELOGRAM IS THE AREA OF EFG.

1) Given: ABCD is a parallelogram in which AG=2GB,CE=2DE and BF=2FC.

Proof: Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we have AB CD and AB =CD.

∴ BG=AB

and DE= CD=AB

∴   BG = DE

∴ ADEH is a gm    [since AH is parallel to DE and AD is parallel to HE]

[since DE=BG and AD=BC parallelogram with corresponding sides equal]

area ( ΔHEG)=area( ΔEGI).............(ii)

[diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into two equal areas]

From (i) and (ii), we get,

ar(gmADEH )+area ( ΔHEG)=ar(gmBCIG )+area( ΔEGI)

2)

Height,  h of gm ABCD and ΔEGB is the same.

Base of ΔEGB =
area(ABCD) = hAB
area(EGB) =

area(EGB) =

3)  Let the distance between EH and CB = x

⇒ Area(EFC) =    Area(EBF)

4) If g = altitude from AD to BC
area(EFC) =
⇒ area(EFC) = area(EBG)

5) area(EFG) = area(EGB)+area(EBF)+area(EFC)

AB=DC , AG=EC , GE(COMMON) , BC=AD IF ALL THE SIDES OF BOTH THE QUADRILATERAL ARE EQUAL TO EACH OTHER SO THE AREA OF BOTH QUADRILATERAL ARE EQUAL
