Question 1:
In the given figure, E is any point on median AD of a ΔABC. Show thatar (ABE) = ar (ACE)
Answer:
AD is the median of ΔABC. Therefore, it will divide ΔABC into two triangles of equal areas.∴ Area (ΔABD) = Area (ΔACD) … (1)
ED is the median of ΔEBC.
∴ Area (ΔEBD) = Area (ΔECD) … (2)
On subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we obtain
Area (ΔABD) − Area (EBD) = Area (ΔACD) − Area (ΔECD)
Area (ΔABE) = Area (ΔACE)
Q 2, Ex. 9.3, Page No 162 - Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles, NCERT Maths Class 9th
Question 2:
In a triangle ABC, E is the mid-point of median AD. Show that ar (BED) = $\frac{1}{4}$ar (ABC)Answer:
AD is the median of ΔABC. Therefore, it will divide ΔABC into two triangles of equal areas.
∴ Area (ΔABD) = Area (ΔACD)
⇒ Area $(\Delta \mathrm{ABD})=\frac{1}{2}$ Area $(\Delta \mathrm{ABC})$ … (1)
In ΔABD, E is the mid-point of AD. Therefore, BE is the median.
∴ Area (ΔBED) = Area (ΔABE)
⇒ Area (ΔBED) = $\frac{1}{2}$ Area (ΔABD)
⇒ Area (ΔBED) = $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}$Area (ΔABC) [From equation (1)]
⇒ Area (ΔBED) = $\frac{1}{4}$Area (ΔABC)
Q 3, Ex. 9.3, Page No 162, Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles, Maths Class 9th R D Sharma
Question 3:
Show that the diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal area.Answer:
We know that diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.
Therefore, O is the mid-point of AC and BD.
BO is the median in ΔABC. Therefore, it will divide it into two triangles of equal areas.
∴ Area (ΔAOB) = Area (ΔBOC) … (1)
In ΔBCD, CO is the median.
∴ Area (ΔBOC) = Area (ΔCOD) … (2)
Similarly, Area (ΔCOD) = Area (ΔAOD) … (3)
From equations (1), (2), and (3), we obtain
Area (ΔAOB) = Area (ΔBOC) = Area (ΔCOD) = Area (ΔAOD)
Therefore, it is evident that the diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal area.
Q 4, Ex. 9.3, Page No 162 - Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles, Mathematics Class 9th
Question 4:
In the given figure, ABC and ABD are two triangles on the same base AB. If line-segment CD is bisected by AB at O, show that ar (ABC) = ar (ABD).
Answer:
Consider ΔACD.Line-segment CD is bisected by AB at O. Therefore, AO is the median of
ΔACD.
∴ Area (ΔACO) = Area (ΔADO) … (1)
Considering ΔBCD, BO is the median.
∴ Area (ΔBCO) = Area (ΔBDO) … (2)
Adding equations (1) and (2), we obtain
Area (ΔACO) + Area (ΔBCO) = Area (ΔADO) + Area (ΔBDO)
⇒ Area (ΔABC) = Area (ΔABD)
Q 5, Ex. 9.3, Page No 163, Areas of Parallelogram & Triangles - NCERT Class 9th Maths Solutions
Page No 163:
Question 5:
D, E and F are respectively the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB of a ΔABC. Show that(i) BDEF is a parallelogram.
(ii) ar (DEF) = $\frac{1}{4}$ar (ABC)
(iii) ar (BDEF) = $\frac{1}{2}$ ar (ABC)
Answer:
(i) In ΔABC,
E and F are the mid-points of side AC and AB respectively.
Therefore, EF || BC and EF = $\frac{1}{2}$BC (Mid-point theorem)
However, BD = $\frac{1}{2}$BC (D is the mid-point of BC)
Therefore, BD = EF and BD || EF
Therefore, BDEF is a parallelogram.
(ii) Using the result obtained above, it can be said that quadrilaterals BDEF, DCEF, AFDE are parallelograms.
We know that diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.
∴Area (ΔBFD) = Area (ΔDEF) (For parallelogram BD)
Area (ΔCDE) = Area (ΔDEF) (For parallelogram DCEF)
Area (ΔAFE) = Area (ΔDEF) (For parallelogram AFDE)
∴Area (ΔAFE) = Area (ΔBFD) = Area (ΔCDE) = Area (ΔDEF)
Also,
Area (ΔAFE) + Area (ΔBDF) + Area (ΔCDE) + Area (ΔDEF) = Area (ΔABC)
⇒ Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔDEF) = Area (ΔABC)
⇒ 4 Area (ΔDEF) = Area (ΔABC)
⇒ Area (ΔDEF) = $\frac{1}{4}$Area (ΔABC)
(iii) Area (parallelogram BDEF) = Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔBDF)
⇒ Area (parallelogram BDEF) = Area (ΔDEF) + Area (ΔDEF)
⇒ Area (parallelogram BDEF) = 2 Area (ΔDEF)
⇒ Area (parallelogram BDEF) = $2 \times \frac{1}{4}$Area (ΔABC)
⇒ Area (parallelogram BDEF) = $\frac{1}{2}$Area (ΔABC)
Q 6, Ex. 9.3, Page No 163, Areas of Parallelogram & Triangles - Class 9th Maths
Question 6:
In the given figure, diagonals AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD intersect at O such that OB = OD. If AB = CD, then show that:(i) ar (DOC) = ar (AOB)
(ii) ar (DCB) = ar (ACB)
(iii) DA || CB or ABCD is a parallelogram.
[Hint: From D and B, draw perpendiculars to AC.]
Answer:
Let us draw DN ⊥ AC and BM ⊥ AC.
(i) In ΔDON and ΔBOM,
∠ DNO = ∠ BMO (By construction)
∠ DON = ∠ BOM (Vertically opposite angles)
OD = OB (Given)
By AAS congruence rule,
ΔDON ≅… ΔBOM
∴ DN = BM … (1)
We know that congruent triangles have equal areas.
∴ Area (ΔDON) = Area (ΔBOM) … (2)
In ΔDNC and ΔBMA,
∠ DNC = ∠ BMA (By construction)
CD = AB (Given)
DN = BM [Using equation (1)]
∴ ΔDNC ≅… ΔBMA (RHS congruence rule)
⇒ Area (ΔDNC) = Area (ΔBMA) … (3)
On adding equations (2) and (3), we obtain
Area (ΔDON) + Area (ΔDNC) = Area (ΔBOM) + Area (ΔBMA)
Therefore, Area (ΔDOC) = Area (ΔAOB)
(ii) We obtained,
Area (ΔDOC) = Area (ΔAOB)
⇒ Area (ΔDOC) + Area (ΔOCB) = Area (ΔAOB) + Area (ΔOCB)
(Adding Area (ΔOCB) to both sides)
⇒ Area (ΔDCB) = Area (ΔACB)
(iii) We obtained,
Area (ΔDCB) = Area (ΔACB)
If two triangles have the same base and equal areas, then these will lie between the same parallels.
∴ DA || CB … (4)
In ΔDOA and ΔBOC,
∠ DOA = ∠ BOC (Vertically opposite angles)
OD = OB (Given)
∠ ODA = ∠ OBC (Alternate opposite angles)
By ASA congruence rule,
ΔDOA ≅… ΔBOC
∴ DA = BC … (5)
In quadrilateral ABCD, one pair of opposite sides is equal and parallel (AD = BC)
Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Q 7, Ex. 9.3, Page No 163, Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles, NCERT Class 9th Maths
Question 7:
D and E are points on sides AB and AC respectively of ΔABC such thatar (DBC) = ar (EBC). Prove that DE || BC.
Answer:
Since ΔBCE and ΔBCD are lying on a common base BC and also have equal areas, ΔBCE and ΔBCD will lie between the same parallel lines.
∴ DE || BC
Q 8, Ex. 9.3, Page No 163, Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles, NCERT Maths Class 9th
Question 8:
XY is a line parallel to side BC of a triangle ABC. If BE || AC and CF || AB meet XY at E and E respectively, show thatar (ABE) = ar (ACF)
Answer:
It is given that
XY || BC ⇒ EY || BC
BE || AC ⇒ BE || CY
Therefore, EBCY is a parallelogram.
It is given that
XY || BC ⇒ XF || BC
FC || AB ⇒ FC || XB
Therefore, BCFX is a parallelogram.
Parallelograms EBCY and BCFX are on the same base BC and between the same parallels BC and EF.
∴ Area (EBCY) = Area (BCFX) … (1)
Consider parallelogram EBCY and ΔAEB
These lie on the same base BE and are between the same parallels BE and AC.
∴ Area (ΔABE) = $\frac{1}{2}$Area (EBCY) … (2)
Also, parallelogram BCFX and ΔACF are on the same base CF and between the same parallels CF and AB.
∴ Area (ΔACF) = $\frac{1}{2}$Area (BCFX) … (3)
From equations (1), (2), and (3), we obtain
Area (ΔABE) = Area (ΔACF)
Q 9, Ex. 9.3, Page No 163, Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles, NCERT Maths Class 9th
Question 9:
The side AB of a parallelogram ABCD is produced to any point P. A line through A and parallel to CP meets CB produced at Q and then parallelogram PBQR is completed (see the following figure). Show thatar (ABCD) = ar (PBQR).
[Hint: Join AC and PQ. Now compare area (ACQ) and area (APQ)]
Answer:
Let us join AC and PQ.
ΔACQ and ΔAQP are on the same base AQ and between the same parallels AQ and CP.
∴ Area (ΔACQ) = Area (ΔAPQ)
⇒ Area (ΔACQ) − Area (ΔABQ) = Area (ΔAPQ) − Area (ΔABQ)
⇒ Area (ΔABC) = Area (ΔQBP) … (1)
Since AC and PQ are diagonals of parallelograms ABCD and PBQR respectively,
∴ Area (ΔABC) = $\frac{1}{2}$Area (ABCD) … (2)
Area (ΔQBP) = $\frac{1}{2}$Area (PBQR) … (3)
From equations (1), (2), and (3), we obtain
$\frac{1}{2}$Area (ABCD) = $\frac{1}{2}$Area (PBQR)
Area (ABCD) = Area (PBQR)
Q 10, Ex. 9.3, Page No 163, Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles, NCERT Maths Class 9th
Question 10:
Diagonals AC and BD of a trapezium ABCD with AB || DC intersect each other at O. Prove that ar (AOD) = ar (BOC).Answer:
It can be observed that ΔDAC and ΔDBC lie on the same base DC and between the same parallels AB and CD.
∴ Area (ΔDAC) = Area (ΔDBC)
⇒ Area (ΔDAC) − Area (ΔDOC) = Area (ΔDBC) − Area (ΔDOC)
⇒ Area (ΔAOD) = Area (ΔBOC)
Q 11, Ex. 9.3, Page No 163, Areas of Parallelogram & Triangles - NCERT Class 9th Maths Solutions
Question 11:
In the given figure, ABCDE is a pentagon. A line through B parallel to AC meets DC produced at F. Show that(i) ar (ACB) = ar (ACF)
(ii) ar (AEDF) = ar (ABCDE)
Answer:
(i) ΔACB and ΔACF lie on the same base AC and are betweenThe same parallels AC and BF.
∴ Area (ΔACB) = Area (ΔACF)
(ii) It can be observed that
Area (ΔACB) = Area (ΔACF)
⇒ Area (ΔACB) + Area (ACDE) = Area (ACF) + Area (ACDE)
⇒ Area (ABCDE) = Area (AEDF)

Question 12:
A villager Itwaari has a plot of land of the shape of a quadrilateral. The Gram Panchayat of the village decided to take over some portion of his plot from one of the corners to construct a Health Centre. Itwaari agrees to the above proposal with the condition that he should be given equal amount of land in lieu of his land adjoining his plot so as to form a triangular plot. Explain how this proposal will be implemented.Answer:
Let quadrilateral ABCD be the original shape of the field.
The proposal may be implemented as follows.
Join diagonal BD and draw a line parallel to BD through point A. Let it meet
the extended side CD of ABCD at point E. Join BE and AD. Let them intersect each other at O. Then, portion ΔAOB can be cut from the original field so that the new shape of the field will be ΔBCE. (See figure)
We have to prove that the area of ΔAOB (portion that was cut so as to construct Health Centre) is equal to the area of ΔDEO (portion added to the field so as to make the area of the new field so formed equal to the area of the original field)
It can be observed that ΔDEB and ΔDAB lie on the same base BD and are between the same parallels BD and AE.
∴ Area (ΔDEB) = Area (ΔDAB)
⇒ Area (ΔDEB) − Area (ΔDOB) = Area (ΔDAB) − Area (ΔDOB)
⇒ Area (ΔDEO) = Area (ΔAOB)
Q 13, Ex. 9.3, Page No 164, Areas of Parallelogram & Triangles - NCERT Class IXth Maths
Question 13:
ABCD is a trapezium with AB || DC. A line parallel to AC intersects AB at X and BC at Y. Prove that ar (ADX) = ar (ACY).[Hint: Join CX.]
Answer:
It can be observed that ΔADX and ΔACX lie on the same base AX and are between the same parallels AB and DC.
∴ Area (ΔADX) = Area (ΔACX) … (1)
ΔACY and ΔACX lie on the same base AC and are between the same parallels AC and XY.
∴ Area (ΔACY) = Area (ACX) … (2)
From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
Area (ΔADX) = Area (ΔACY)
Q 14, Ex. 9.3, Page No 164 , Areas of Parallelogram & Triangles - NCERT Class 9th Maths Solutions
Question 14:
In the given figure, AP || BQ || CR. Prove that ar (AQC) = ar (PBR).Answer:
Since ΔABQ and ΔPBQ lie on the same base BQ and are between the same parallels AP and BQ,
∴ Area (ΔABQ) = Area (ΔPBQ) … (1)
Again, ΔBCQ and ΔBRQ lie on the same base BQ and are between the same parallels BQ and CR.
∴ Area (ΔBCQ) = Area (ΔBRQ) … (2)
On adding equations (1) and (2), we obtain
Area (ΔABQ) + Area (ΔBCQ) = Area (ΔPBQ) + Area (ΔBRQ)
⇒ Area (ΔAQC) = Area (ΔPBR)
Q 15, Ex. 9.3, Page No 164, Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles, NCERT Maths Class 9th
Question 15:
Diagonals AC and BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect at O in such a way that ar (AOD) = ar (BOC). Prove that ABCD is a trapezium.Answer:
It is given that
Area (ΔAOD) = Area (ΔBOC)
Area (ΔAOD) + Area (ΔAOB) = Area (ΔBOC) + Area (ΔAOB)
Area (ΔADB) = Area (ΔACB)
We know that triangles on the same base having areas equal to each other lie between the same parallels.
Therefore, these triangles, ΔADB and ΔACB, are lying between the same parallels.
i.e., AB || CD
Therefore, ABCD is a trapezium.
Q 16, Ex. 9.3, Page No 164, Areas of Parallelogram & Triangles - NCERT Class 9th Maths Solutions
Question 16:
In the given figure, ar (DRC) = ar (DPC) and ar (BDP) = ar (ARC). Show that both the quadrilaterals ABCD and DCPR are trapeziums.Answer:
It is given that
Area (ΔDRC) = Area (ΔDPC)
As ΔDRC and ΔDPC lie on the same base DC and have equal areas, therefore, they must lie between the same parallel lines.
∴ DC || RP
Therefore, DCPR is a trapezium.
It is also given that
Area (ΔBDP) = Area (ΔARC)
⇒ Area (BDP) − Area (ΔDPC) = Area (ΔARC) − Area (ΔDRC)
⇒ Area (ΔBDC) = Area (ΔADC)
Since ΔBDC and ΔADC are on the same base CD and have equal areas, they must lie between the same parallel lines.
∴ AB || CD
Therefore, ABCD is a trapezium.
