Question -

In a triangle ABC, E is the mid-point of median AD. Show that ar(BED)= ┬╝ ar(ABC).



Answer -

ar(BED) = (1/2)├ЧBD├ЧDE

Since, E is themid-point of AD,

AE = DE

Since, AD is themedian on side BC of triangle ABC,

BD = DC,

DE = (1/2) AD тАФ (i)

BD = (1/2)BC тАФ (ii)

From (i) and (ii), weget,

ar(BED) =(1/2)├Ч(1/2)BC┬а├Ч┬а(1/2)AD

тЗТ┬а ar(BED) =(1/2)├Ч(1/2)ar(ABC)

тЗТ ar(BED) = ┬╝ ar(ABC)
