Question -

Inthe given figure, ar (DRC) = ar (DPC) and ar (BDP) = ar (ARC). Show that boththe quadrilaterals ABCD and DCPR are trapeziums.



Answer -

It is given that

Area (ΔDRC) = Area (ΔDPC)

As ΔDRC and ΔDPC lie onthe same base DC and have equal areas, therefore, they must lie between thesame parallel lines.

DC || RP

Therefore, DCPR is atrapezium.

It is also given that

Area (ΔBDP) = Area (ΔARC)

Area (BDP) − Area (ΔDPC) = Area (ΔARC) − Area (ΔDRC)

Area (ΔBDC) = Area (ΔADC)

Since ΔBDC and ΔADC are onthe same base CD and have equal areas, they must lie between the same parallellines.

AB || CD

Therefore,ABCD is a trapezium.
