Question 1

In the given figure, if area of triangle ADE is 60 cm2, state, given reason, the area of :

(i) Parallelogram ABED;

(ii) Rectangle ABCF;

(iii) Triangle ABE.

………………..

Answer

(i)ΔADE and parallelogram ABED are on the same base AB and between the same parallels DE//AB, so area of the triangle ΔADE is half the area of parallelogram ABED.

Area of ABED = 2 (Area of ADE) = 120 cm2

(ii)Area of parallelogram is equal to the area of rectangle on the same base and of the same altitude i.e, between the same parallels

Area of ABCF = Area of ABED = 120 cm2

(iii)We know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal

Area of ABE=Area of ADE =60 cm2

Question 2

The given figure shows a rectangle ABDC and a parallelogram ABEF; drawn on opposite sides of AB. Prove that:

(i) Quadrilateral CDEF is a parallelogram;

(ii) Area of quad. CDEF

= Area of rect. ABDC

+ Area of // gm. ABEF.

……………..

Answer

After drawing the opposite sides of AB, we get

Ans 2 Exercise - 16 A Area Theorem Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

Since from the figure, we get CD//FE therefore FC must parallel to DE. Therefore it is proved that the quadrilateral CDEF is a parallelogram.

Area of parallelogram on same base and between same parallel lines is always equal and area of parallelogram is equal to the area of rectangle on the same base and of the same altitude i.e, between same parallel lines.

So Area of CDEF= Area of ABDC + Area of ABEF

Hence Proved

Question 3

In the given figure, diagonals PR and QS of the parallelogram PQRS intersect at point O and LM is parallel to PS. Show that:

…………………………

Answer

(i)

Since POS and parallelogram PMLS are on the same base PS and between the same parallels i.e. SP//LM.

As O is the center of LM and Ratio of area of triangles with same vertex and bases along the same line is equal to ratio of their respective bases.

The area of the parallelogram is  twice the area of the triangle if they lie on the same base and in between the same parallels.

So 2(Area of PSO)=Area of PMLS

Question 15

ABCD is trapezium with AB // DC. A line parallel to AC intersects AB at point M and BC at point N. Prove that: area of Δ ADM = area of Δ ACN.

Answer

Given: ABCD is a trapezium

Ans 15 Exercise - 16 A Area Theorem Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

AB || CD, MN || AC

Join C and M

We know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal.

So Area of Δ AMD = Area of Δ AMC

Similarly, consider AMNC quadrilateral where MN || AC.

Δ ACM and Δ ACN are on the same base and between the same parallel lines. So areas are equal.

So, Area of Δ ACM = Area of Δ CAN

From the above two equations, we can say

Area of Δ ADM = Area of Δ CAN

Hence Proved.

Answer

We know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal.

Consider ABED quadrilateral; AD||BE

With common base, BE and between AD and BE parallel lines, we have

Area of ΔABE = Area of ΔBDE

Similarly, in BEFC quadrilateral, BE||CF

With common base BC and between BE and CF parallel lines, we have

Area of ΔBEC = Area of ΔBEF

Adding both equations, we have

Area of ΔABE + Area of ΔBEC = Area of ΔBEF + Area of ΔBDE

=> Area of AEC = Area of DBF

Hence Proved

Question 17

In the given figure, ABCD is a parallelogram; BC is produced to point X. Prove that: area (Δ ABX) = area (quad. ACXD)

………………

Answer

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram.

We know that

Area of ΔABC = Area of ΔACD

Consider ΔABX,

Area of ΔABX = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔACX

We also know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal.

Area of ΔACX = Area of ΔCXD

From above equations, we can conclude that

Area of ΔABX = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔACX = Area of ΔACD+ Area of ΔCXD = Area of ACXD Quadrilateral

Hence Proved

Question 1

In the given figure, the diagonals AC and BD intersect at point O. If OB = OD and AB//DC, show that:

(i) Area (Δ DOC) = Area (Δ AOB).

(ii) Area (Δ DCB) = Area (Δ ACB).

(iii) ABCD is a parallelogram.

……………

Answer

(i)

Ratio of area of triangles with same vertex and bases along the same line is equal to the ratio of their respective bases. So, we have:

Ans 1 Exercise - 16 C Area Theorem Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

We know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal.

Area of Δ ACD = Area of Δ BCD

Area of Δ AOD + Area of Δ DOC = Area of Δ DOC + Area of Δ BOC

=> Area of Δ AOD = Area of Δ BOC ——3

From 1, 2 and 3 we have

Area (Δ DOC) = Area (Δ AOB)

Hence Proved.

(ii)

Similarly, from 1, 2 and 3, we also have

Area of Δ DCB = Area of Δ DOC + Area of Δ BOC = Area of Δ AOB + Area of Δ BOC = Area of Δ ABC

So Area of Δ DCB = Area of Δ ABC

Hence Proved.

(iii)

We know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal.

Given: triangles are equal in area on the common base, so it indicates AD|| BC.

So, ABCD is a parallelogram.

Hence Proved

Answer

E and F are the midpoints of the sides AB and AC.

Consider the following figure.

Ans 3 Exercise - 16 C Area Theorem Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

Question 4

In parallelogram ABCD, P is mid-point of AB. CP and BD intersect each other at point O. If area of ΔPOB = 40 cm2, and OP : OC = 1:2, find:

(i) Areas of ΔBOC and ΔPBC

(ii) Areas of ΔABC and parallelogram ABCD

Answer

Ans 4 Exercise - 16 C Area Theorem Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

Consider the triangles ΔPOB and ΔCOD
∠POB = ∠DOC             …[ vertically opposite angles ]
∠OPB = ∠ODC             …[ AB and DC are parallel, CP and BD are the transversals, alternate interior angles are equal ]

Therefore, by Angle-Angle similarly criterion of congruence, ΔPOB ∼ ΔCOD
Since P is the mid-point AP = BP, and AB = CD, we have CD = 2 BP
Therefore, We have,

Ans 4 Exercise - 16 C Area Theorem Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths-compressed (1)

⇒  Ar.( ΔDOC ) = 4Ar, ( ΔPOB )
=  4 x 40
= 160 cm

Now consider Ar. ( ΔDBC ) = Ar. ( ΔDOC ) + Ar. (Δ BOC )
= 160 + 80
= 160 cm2  

Two triangles are equal in the area if they are on equal bases and between the same parallels.

Therefore, Ar. ( ΔDBC ) = Ar. ( ΔABC ) = 240 cm
The median divides the triangles into areas of two equal triangles.
Thus, CP is the median of the triangle ABC.
Hence, Ar. ( ΔABC ) = 2 Ar. ( ΔPBC )
Ar. ( ΔPBC ) = 
Ar. ( ΔPBC ) = 120 cm
( iii ) From part (ii) we have,
Ar. ( ΔABC ) = 2Ar. ( PBC ) = 240 cm
The area of a triangle is half the area of the parallelogram if both are on equal bases and between the same parallels.

Thus, Ar. ( ΔABC ) =  Ar. [ || gm ABCD ]

AR. [ || gm ABCD ] = 2 Ar. ( ΔABC )
AR. [ || gm ABCD ] = 2 x 240
AR. [ || gm ABCD ] = 480 cm

Question 5

The medians of a triangle ABC intersect each other at point G. If one of its medians is AD, prove that:

(i) Area (ΔABD) = 3 Area (ΔBGD)

(ii) Area (ΔACD) = 3 Area (CGD)

(iii) Area (ΔBGC) = 1/3 Area (ΔABC)

Answer

 The figure is shown below

(i) Medians intersect at centroid.
Given that C is the point of intersection of medians and hence G is the centroid of the triangle ABC.

Centroid divides the medians in the ratio 2: 1
That is AG: GD = 2: 1.

Since BG divides AD in the ratio 2: 1, we have,

⇒ Area( ΔAGB ) = 2Area( ΔBGD )

From the figure, it is clear that,
Area( ΔABD ) = Area( ΔAGB ) + Area( ΔBGD )

⇒ Area( ΔABD ) = 2Area( ΔBGD ) + Area( ΔBGD )
⇒ Area( ΔABD ) = 3Area( ΔBGD )        ……(1)

(ii) Medians intersect at centroid.
Given that G is the point of intersection of medians and hence G is the centroid of the triangle ABC.

Centroid divides the medians in the ratio 2: 1
That is AG: GD = 2: 1.

Since CG divides AD in the ratio 2: 1, we have,
A( ΔAGC )/A( ΔCGD)=2/1

⇒ Area( ΔAGC ) = 2Area( ΔCGD )

From the figure, it is clear that,
Area( ΔACD ) = Area( ΔAGC ) + Area( ΔCGD )
⇒ Area( ΔACD ) = 2Area( ΔCGD ) + Area( ΔCGD )
⇒ Area( ΔACD ) = 3Area( ΔCGD )        ……(2)

(iii) Adding equations (1) and (2), We have,
Area( ΔABD ) + Area( ΔACD ) = 3Area( ΔBGD ) + 3Area( ΔCGD )
⇒ Area( ΔABC ) = 3[ Area( ΔBGD ) + Area( ΔCGD ) ]
⇒ Area( ΔABC ) = 3[ Area( ΔBGC ) ]

Let the sides be x cm, y cm and (37 – x – y) cm. Also, let the lengths of altitudes be 6a cm, 5a cm and 4a cm.

Answer

Consider that the sides be x cm, y cm, and (37 – x – y) cm. also, consider that the lengths of altitudes be 6a cm, 5a cm, and 4a cm

Ans 6 Exercise - 16 C Area Theorem Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

6x = 5y = 148 – 4x – 4y

6x = 5y and 6x = 148 – 4x – 4y

6x – 5y = 0 and 10x + 4y = 148

Solving both the equations, we have
X = 10 cm, y = 12 cm and ( 37 – x – y ) cm = 15cm.
