Question 5 In Fig.9.33, ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles such that D is the mid-point of BC. If AE intersects BC at F, show that (i) ar (BDE) = 1/4 ar (ABC) [Hint : Join EC and AD. Show that BE || AC and DE || AB, etc.] Join EC and AD. Draw EL βŠ₯ BD. Given βˆ†ABC is an equilateral triangle, Let AB = BC = AC = 2a & ∠BAC = ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 60Β° Now, Since D is the mid point of BC ∴ BD = CD = 2π‘Ž/2 = a Also, since Ξ” BDE is equilateral Thus, BD = DE = BE = a ∠BDE = ∠BED = ∠DBE = 60Β° Now, In equilateral triangle Ξ” ABC D is mid-point, So, AD is median ∴ AD will also be the altitude In equilateral triangle, altitude and median are the same ∴ ADβŠ₯ BC So, βˆ†ADC will be a right angle triangle By Pythagoras theorem AC2 = AD2 + DC2 (2a)2 = AD2 + (a)2 4a2 = AD2 + a2 4a2 βˆ’ a2 = AD2 3a2 = AD2 √3π‘Ž2 = AD √3 a = AD AD = √3 a Similarly, For equilateral Ξ” BDE, We can find EL = √3/2 a Now, Finding area of Ξ” ABC and Ξ” BDE For βˆ† ABC Base = BC = 2a Height = AD = √3 π‘Ž ar (βˆ†ABC) = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height = 1/2 Γ— 2a Γ— √3 π‘Ž = √3 π‘Ž2 For βˆ† BDE Base = BD = a Height = EL = √3/2 π‘Ž ar (βˆ†BDE) = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height = 1/2 Γ— a Γ— √3/2 π‘Ž = √3/4 π‘Ž2 Now, (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝐷𝐸))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝐡𝐢)) = (√3/4 π‘Ž"2" )/(√3 π‘Ž"2" ) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝐷𝐸))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝐡𝐢)) = (√3 π‘Ž"2" )/(√3 π‘Ž"2" ) Γ— 1/4 (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝐷𝐸))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝐡𝐢)) = 1/4 ar (BDE) = 1/4 ar (ABC) Hence proved Question 5 Show that (ii) ar (BDE) = 1/2 ar (BAE) For lines AB and DE, with transversal BE ∠ABD = ∠BDE = 60Β° Since ∠ABD & ∠BDE are alternate angles, and they are equal So, lines must be parallel ∴ AB βˆ₯ DE Similarly, we can prove BE βˆ₯ AC Now, βˆ†BAE and βˆ†BCE are on the same base BE, and between same Parallels BE and AC. ∴ ar (BAE) = ar (BCE) But, In βˆ†BCE, D is the mid Point of BC ∴ ar (BDE) = ar (DCE) Thus, ar (BDE) = 1/2ar (BCE) (Median divides a triangle into two triangles of equal area) …(2) From (1) & 2 ar (BDE) = 1/2 ar (BAE) Hence proved Question 5 Show that (iii) ar (ABC) = 2 ar (BEC) In part (i), we proved that ar (BDE) = 1/4 ar (ABC) And, ar (BCE) = 2 ar (BDE) ar (BDE) = 1/2 ar (BCE) Comparing equations 1/2 ar (BCE) = 1/4 ar (ABC) 1/2 Γ— 4 Γ— ar (BCE) = ar (ABC) 2 ar (BCE) = ar (ABC) ar (ABC) = 2ar (BCE) Hence proved Question 5 Show that (iv) ar (BFE) = ar (AFD) βˆ† BED and βˆ†AED are on the same base ED and between same parallel lines ED & AB ∴ ar (BED) = ar (AED) Subtracting ar (FED) both sides ar (BED) – ar (FED) = ar (AED) – ar (FED) ar (BFE) = ar (AFD). Hence proved Question 5 Show that (v) ar (BFE) = 2 ar (FED) We note that Ξ” BFE and Ξ” FED have the same height FE Let’s find their base - BF and FD To find BF, we have proved in part (iv) that ar (AFD) = ar (BFE) Let’s find their area’s using Base Γ— Height formula For βˆ† AFD, Base = FD Height = AD = √3 π‘Ž ar (AFD) = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height = 1/2 Γ— FD Γ— √3 π‘Ž For βˆ† BFE, Base = BF Height = EL = √3/2 π‘Ž ar (BFE) = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height = 1/2 Γ— BF Γ— √3/2 π‘Ž Since ar (AFD) = ar (BFE) 1/2 Γ— FD Γ— √3 π‘Ž = = 1/2 Γ— BF Γ— √3/2 π‘Ž FD = 𝐡𝐹/2 2FD = BF BF = 2FD Now, BD = a BF + FD = a 2FD + FD = a 3FD = a FD = π‘Ž/3 And, BF = 2FD = 2π‘Ž/3 Now, Finding area of βˆ† FED Base = FD = 1/2 BF Height = EL = √3/2 π‘Ž ar (FED) = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height = 1/2 Γ— 1/2 BF Γ— √3/2 𝒂 Now, (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝐹𝐸))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐹𝐸𝐷)) = (1/2 Γ— 𝐡𝐹 Γ— √3/2 " " π‘Ž" " )/(1/2 Γ— 1/2 𝐡𝐹 Γ— √3/2 " " π‘Ž) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝐹𝐸))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐹𝐸𝐷)) = 1/(1/2) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝐹𝐸))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐹𝐸𝐷)) = 2 ar (BFE) = 2 ar (FED) Hence proved Question 5 Show that (vi) ar (FED) = 1/8 ar (AFC) Finding Area of Ξ” FED Base = FD = π‘Ž/3 Height = EL = √3/2 π‘Ž Area of Ξ” FED = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height = 1/2 Γ— π‘Ž/3 Γ— √3/2 π‘Ž = √3/12 π‘Ž^2 Finding Area of Ξ” AFC Base = FC = FD + DC = π‘Ž/3 + π‘Ž = 4/3 π‘Ž Height = AD = √3 π‘Ž Area of Ξ” AFC = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height = 1/2 Γ— 4/3 π‘Ž Γ— √3 π‘Ž = (2√3)/3 π‘Ž^2 Now (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐹𝐸𝐷))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝐹𝐢)) = (√3/12 π‘Ž^2)/((2√3)/3 π‘Ž^2 ) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐹𝐸𝐷))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝐹𝐢)) =√3/12 π‘Ž^2Γ—3/(2√3 π‘Ž^2 ) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐹𝐸𝐷))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝐹𝐢)) = 1/12Γ—3/2 (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐹𝐸𝐷))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝐹𝐢)) = 1/8 ar (FED) = 1/8 ar (AFC) Hence Proved
