Selina ICSE Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 16 Area Theorems [Proof and Use]

Exercise 16(A)

Solution 1:

Solution 2:



Since from the figure, we get CD//FE therefore FC must parallel to DE. Therefore it is proved that the quadrilateral CDEF is a parallelogram.

Area of parallelogram on same base and between same parallel lines is always equal and area of parallelogram is equal to the area of rectangle on the same base and of the same altitude i.e, between same parallel lines.

So Area of CDEF= Area of ABDC + Area of ABEF

Hence Proved

Solution 3:

Solution 4:



Given ABCD is a parallelogram. P and Q are any points on the sides AB and BC respectively, join diagonals AC and BD.

proof:

since triangles with same base and between same set of parallel lines have equal areas

area (CPD)=area(BCD)…… (1)

again, diagonals of the parallelogram bisects area in two equal parts

area (BCD)=(1/2) area of parallelogram ABCD…… (2)

from (1) and (2)

area(CPD)=1/2 area(ABCD)…… (3)

similarly area (AQD)=area(ABD)=1/2 area(ABCD)…… (4)

from (3) and (4)

area(CPD)=area(AQD),

hence proved.

(ii)

We know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal

So Area of AQD= Area of ACD= Area of PDC = Area of BDC = Area of ABC=Area of APD + Area of BPC

Hence Proved

Solution 12:

Solution 13:

Solution 14:

Solution 15:

Solution 16:

We know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal.

Consider ABED quadrilateral; AD||BE

With common base, BE and between AD and BE parallel lines, we have

Area of ΔABE = Area of ΔBDE

Similarly, in BEFC quadrilateral, BE||CF

With common base BC and between BE and CF parallel lines, we have

Area of ΔBEC = Area of ΔBEF

Adding both equations, we have

Area of ΔABE + Area of ΔBEC = Area of ΔBEF + Area of ΔBDE

=> Area of AEC = Area of DBF

Hence Proved

Solution 17:

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram.

We know that

Area of ΔABC = Area of ΔACD

Consider ΔABX,

Area of ΔABX = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔACX

We also know that area of triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal.

Area of ΔACX = Area of ΔCXD

From above equations, we can conclude that

Area of ΔABX = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔACX = Area of ΔACD+ Area of ΔCXD = Area of ACXD Quadrilateral

Hence Proved

Solution 18:

Join B and R and P and R.

We know that the area of the parallelogram is equal to twice the area of the triangle, if the triangle and the parallelogram are on the same base and between the parallels

Consider ABCD parallelogram:

Since the parallelogram ABCD and the triangle ABR lie on AB and between the parallels AB and DC, we have

Exercise 16(B)

Solution 1:

Solution 2:

Solution 3:

Solution 4:

We have to join PD and BD.

Solution 5:

Solution 6:

Ratio of area of triangles with same vertex and bases along the same line is equal to ratio of their respective bases. So, we have
