In Fig. 15.88, ABCD and AEFD are two parallelograms. Prove that:
(i) PE=FQ
(ii) ar(ΔAPE):ar(Δ PFA)= ar(Δ QFD)=ar(Δ PFD)
(iii) ar(Δ PEA) = ar(Δ QFD)
(i) In and
∠PEA = ∠QFD (Corresponding angle)
∠EPA = ∠FQD (Corresponding angle)
PA = QD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Then,
(By AAS congruence rule)
Therefore,
(c.p.c.t)
Since,
and
stand on equal bases PE and FQ lies between the same parallel EQ and FQ lies between the same parallel EQ and AD
Therefore,
(
) = Area (
QFD) (1)
Since,
stand on the same base PF and lie between the same parallel PF and AD
Therefore,
Area ( = Area (
(2)
Divide the equation (1) by (2), we get
=
(iii) From (i) part,
Then,
