CH-9 Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles
Solution
1. (a)
Explanation:
Area of parallelogram = Base Height
= AB BD
= 3 4
= 12 cm2
2. (a) 60 square feet
Explanation:
In the figure, Base AB = 12 feet and Correspongin height DE = 5 feet
Then
Area of parallelogram ABCD = Base Corresponding height
= AB DE
= 12 5
= 60 square feet
3. (c) it is 1 : 1.
Explanation:
Since parallelogram PQRS and triangle AQS are on the same base QS and between the
same parallels, then
.................(i)
Also, if X and Y are mid-points of PQ and SR and diagonal SQ is joined, then
....................(ii)
From eq.(i) and (ii), we get

4. (a)
Explanation:

Since triangles MCD and PAB are on the same base and between the same parallels,
then
sq. cm
Now, since AB = BC = CD, then
AB = AD and BC = AD
Then,
sq. cm
sq. cm
5. (c)
Explanation:
Given: Sum of the parallel sides of a trapezium is 7 cm and distance between them is 4
cm.
Area of the trapezium = (Sum of parallel sides) x Height
= x 7 x 4
= 14 cm2
6.
7. two
8. Since ADC and ADB are on the same base AD and between the same parallels AD
and BC.
ar( ADC) = ar( ADB)
ar( ADC) - ar( ADG) = ar( ADB) - ar( ADG)
ar( CGD) = ar( ABG)
9. TRQ and parallelogram SRQP lie on the same base RQ and between the same
parallels RQ and SP.

10. From the given figure it is clear that X and Y are the mid-points of AC and AB
respectively.
Therefore, XY BC
Since BYC and BXC are on the same base BC and between the same parallels XY
and BC, we can write
ar ( BYC) = ar ( BXC)
ar ( BYC) - ar ( BOC) = ar ( BXC) - ar ( BOC)
ar ( BOY) = ar ( COX)
ar ( BOY) + ar ( XOY) = ar ( COX) + ar ( XOY)
ar ( BXY) = ar ( CXY) .......................................(i)
Since quadrilaterals XYAP and XYQA are on the same base XY and between the same
parallels XY and PQ, we have
ar(XYAP) = ar (XYQA) .........................................(ii)
On adding (i) and (ii), we obtain
ar ( BXY) + ar (XYAP) = ar ( CXY) + ar (XYQA)
ar ( ABP) = ar ( ACQ)
Hence proved.
11.
From the given figure it is clear that area ( ADC) = area ( ADP)+ area( APC) = 15
+ 20 = 35 cm2
Now in parallelogram opposite sides are equal i.e., CD = AB,
Also AB CD.
Now, we know that triangles having same base and lie with the same parallels have
the same area.
area of ABP = area of ADC = 35 cm2

12. Given : AP || BQ || CR
To Prove : ar( AQC) = ar( PBR)
Proof : ar( BAQ) = ar( BPQ) . . . .[ s on the base BQ and between the same
parallels BQ and AP] . . . (1)
ar( BCQ) = ar( BQR) . . . .[ s on the base BQ and between the same parallels BQ
and CR] . . . (2)
ar( BAQ) + ar( BCQ) = ar( BPQ) + ar( BQR) . . . [Adding corresponding sides of
(1) and (2)]
ar( AQC) = ar( PBR)
13. It is given that D is the midpoint of BC, therefore we can say that AD is the median.
Now, Area of ABD = area of ABC ............[Median divides a triangle into two
triangles of the equal area]
Thus, Area of ABD = cm2 = 5 cm2

Again, BE is the median of ABD.
Area of EBD = area of ABD
= = 2.5 cm2
14. From the given figure,
it is clear that LXZ and MXZ (adding x and M) lie on the same base XZ and
between the same parallels XZ and LM.
ar( LXZ) = ar( MXZ)

Adding ar( XYZ) on both sides, we obtain
ar( LXZ) + ar( XYZ) = ar( MXZ) + ar( XYZ)
ar ( LYZ) = ar(MZYX)
Hence proved
15.
Draw AM BC.
Since, AD is the median of ABC,
BD = DC
BD AM = DC AM
(BD AM) = (DC AM)
ar( ABD) = ar( ACD) .....(i)
In BGC, GD is the median,
ar( BGD) = ar( CGD) ....(ii)
In ACD, CG is a median,
ar( AGC) = ar( CGD) .....(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we have,
ar( BGD) = ar( AGC)
But, ar( BGC) = 2ar( BGD)
ar( BGC) = 2 ar( AGC)
