Show that the diagonals of a ‖ gm divide into four triangles of equal area.
Consider Δ ABD
We know that diagonals in a parallelogram bisect each other
∴ E is the midpoint of BD, AE is median of Δ ABD
∴ Area (Δ ADE) = Area (Δ AEB) (∵ Median divides the triangle into two triangles of equal areas)
Similarly we can prove
Area (Δ ADE) = Area (Δ DEC)
Area (Δ DEC) = Area (Δ CEB)
Area (Δ CEB) = Area (Δ AEB)
∴ Diagonals of a ‖ gm divide into four triangles of equal area.
