    Areas of Triangles and Parallelograms

    Uploaded by

    This document introduces areas of triangles and parallelograms. It defines figures being on the same base and between the same parallels. The area of a parallelogram is its base times its height. The area of a triangle is half its base times its height. Parallelograms and triangles on the same base and between the same parallels have equal areas. If two triangles have the same base and equal areas, their altitudes are equal. If a triangle and parallelogram share a base and parallels, the triangle's area is half the parallelogram's area.

    Introduction to Areas of Triangles and Parallelograms

    Introduction

    The area represents the amount of planar surface being covered by a closed geometric figure.
     

    Areas of closed figures

    Figures on the Same Base and Between the Same Parallels

    Two figures are said to be on the same base and between the same parallels if:
    a) They have a common side.
    b) The sides parallel to the common base and vertices opposite the common side lie on the
    same straight line parallel to the base.

    Figures on same base AB and between


    same parallels AB and PQ

    For example : Parallelogram  ABCD, Rectangle ABEF and Triangles ABP and ABQ

    Area of a parallelogram
    Parallelogram

    Area of a parallelogram = b × h

    Where ‘b is the base and ‘h is the corresponding altitude(Height).


    ′ ′

    Area of a triangle

    Area of triangle

    Area of a triangle =
    1
    × b × h
    2

    Where \(‘b’\) is the base and \(‘h’\) is the corresponding altitude.


     

    Theorems
    Parallelograms on the same Base and Between the same Parallels

    Two parallelograms are said to be on the same base and between the same parallels if
    a) They have a common side.
    b) The sides parallel to the common side lie on the same straight line.
     

    Parallelogram ABCD and ABEF


    Theorem : Parallelograms that lie on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in
    area.
    Here, ar(parallelogram ABCD) = ar(parallelogram ABEF )

    Triangles on the same Base and between the same Parallels

    Two triangles are said to be on the same base and between the same parallels if
    a) They have a common side.
    b) The vertices opposite the common side lie on a straight line parallel to the common side.
     

    Triangles ABC and ABD

    Theorem : Triangles that lie on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
    Here, ar(ΔABC) = ar(ΔABD)
     

    Two triangles having the same base & equal areas

    If two triangles have the same base and are equal in area, then, their corresponding altitudes
    are equal.

    -If two triangles have equal bases and are equal in area, then their corresponding altitudes are
    equal.
    A Parallelogram and a triangle between the same parallels

    A triangle and a parallelogarm are said to be on the same base and between the same parallels
    if
    a) They have a common side.
    b) The vertices opposite the common side lie on a straight line parallel to the common side.

    A triangle ABC and


    a parallelogram ABDE

    Theorem : If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same
    parallels, then the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram.
    Here ar(ΔABC) = ar(parallelogarm ABDE)
