Question 6 Diagonals AC and BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect each other at P. Show that ar (APB) Γ— ar (CPD) = ar (APD) Γ— ar (BPC). [Hint : From A and C, draw perpendiculars to BD.] Given: A quadrilateral ABCD To prove: A quadrilateral ABCD Construction: Draw AM βŠ₯ BD and CN βŠ₯ BD Proof: Finding Area of Ξ” APB and Ξ” APD Area of APB Base = BP Height = AM Area Ξ” APB = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height ar (APB) = 1/2 Γ— BP Γ— AM Area of APD Base = DP Height = AM Area Ξ” APD = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height ar (APD) = 1/2 Γ— DP Γ— AM Dividing by (1) by (2) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝑃𝐡))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝑃𝐷)) = (1/2 Γ— 𝐡𝑃 Γ— 𝐴𝑀)/(1/2 Γ— 𝐷𝑃 Γ— 𝐴𝑀) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝑃𝐡))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝑃𝐷)) = 𝐡𝑃/𝐷𝑃 …(3) Area of BPC Base = BP Height = CN Area Ξ” BPC = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height ar (BPC) = 1/2 Γ— BP Γ— CN Area of CPD Base = DP Height = CN Area Ξ” CPD = 1/2 Γ— Base Γ— Height ar (CPD) = 1/2 Γ— DP Γ— CN Dividing by (4) by (5) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝑃𝐢))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐢𝑃𝐷)) = (1/2 Γ— 𝐡𝑃 Γ— 𝐢𝑁)/(1/2 Γ— 𝐷𝑃 Γ— 𝐢𝑁) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝑃𝐢))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐢𝑃𝐷)) = 𝐡𝑃/(𝐷𝑃 ) From (3) and (6) (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝑃𝐡))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐴𝑃𝐷)) = (π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐡𝑃𝐢))/(π‘Žπ‘Ÿ (𝐢𝑃𝐷)) ar (APB) Γ— ar (CPD) = ar (APD) Γ— ar (BPC) Hence Proved.
