Question

In the given figure, DE ∥ BC and DE : BC = 3 : 5. alculate ar(ΔADE) : ar(trap. BCED).

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

It is given that DE BC. ∠ADE = ∠ABC [Corresponding angles are equal] ∠AED = ∠ACB [Corresponding angles are equal] ΔADE ΔАВС (By A.A. axiom) We know that, The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get: Hence, ar(ΔADE) : ar(trap. BCED) = 9 : 16.
