Parallelogram ABCD and rectangle ABEF are on the, same base AB and have equal areas. Show that the perimeter of the parallelogram is greater than that of the rectangle.
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 1
Rectangle ABEF is a parallelogram too.
Now, parallelograms ABCD and ABEF are on the same base AB and they have equal areas. Hence, they are between the same parallels FC and AB.
In ∆ AFD, ∠F, being an angle of rectangle ABEF, is a right angle and so, AD is the hypotenuse.
∴ AD > AF
∴ AD + AB > AF + AB
∴ 2 (AD + AB) > 2 (AF + AB)
∴ Perimeter of parallelogram ABCD > Perimeter of rectangle ABEF

Question 2.
In the given figure, D and E are two points on BC such that BD = DE = EC. Show that ar (ABD) = ar (ADE) = ar (AEC).
Can you now answer the question that you have left in the ‘Introduction’ of this chapter, whether the field of Budhia has been actually divided into three parts of equal area?
[Remark : Note that by taking BD = DE = EC, the triangle ABC is divided into three triangles ABD, ADE and AEC of equal areas. In the same way, by dividing BC into n equal parts and joining the points of division so obtained to the opposite vertex of BC, you can divide AABC into n triangles of equal areas.]
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 2
Answer:
Here, in ∆ ABE, D is a point on BE such that BD = DE.
So, in ∆ ABE, D is the midpoint of BE and AD is a median.
∴ ar (ABD) = ar (ADE) ……………… (1)
Similarly, in A ADC, E is the midpoint of DC and AE is a median.
∴ ar (ADE) = ar (AEC) ……………. (2)
From (1) and (2),
ar (ABD) = ar (ADE) = ar (AEC)
Thus, in ∆ ABC, by joining the points of trisection of BC, i.e., D and E to vertex A, the triangle is divided into ∆ ABD, ∆ ADE and ∆ AEC which have the same area.

Now, the answer to the question which was left unanswered in the ‘Introduction’ is ‘Yes’. The manner in which Budhia divided her field, the area of all the three parts are equal.

Question 3.
In the given figure, ABCD, DCFE and ABFE are parallelograms. Show that ar (ADE) = ar (BCF).
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 3
Answer:
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
∴ In parallelogram ABCD, AD = BC, in parallelogram DCFE, DE = CF and in parallelogram ABFE, AE = BF.
Now, in ∆ ADE and ∆ BCE
AD = BC, DE = CF and AE = BE
∴ By SSS rule, ∆ ADE = ∆ BCF
∴ ar (ADE) = ar (BCF)

Question 4.
In the given figure, ABCD is a parallelogram and BC is produced to a point Q such that AD = CQ. If AQ intersect DC at E show that ar (BPC) = ar (DPQ).
[Hint: Join AC.]
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 4
Answer:
Join AC.
In parallelogram ABCD, BC || AD and BC = AD.
BC is produced to point Q such that AD = CQ.
Thus, AD = CQ and AD || CQ.
∴ Quadrilateral ACQD is a parallelogram.
Diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal areas.
∴ ar (DPQ) = ar (DPA) = ar (APC) = ar (CPQ)
∴ ar (DPQ) = ar (APC) ……………. (1)
Now, ∆ APC and ∆ BPC are on the same base PC and between the same parallels PC and AB.
∴ ar (APC) = ar (BPC) ………….. (2)
From (1) and (2),
ar (BPC) = ar (DPQ)

Question 5.
In the given figure, ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles such that D is the midpoint of BC. If AE intersects BC at F, show that
(i) ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)ar (ABC)
(ii) ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ar (BAE)
(iii) ar (ABC) = 2ar (BEC)
(iv) ar (BFE) = ar (AFD)
(v ) ar (BFE) = 2ar (FED)
(vi) ar (FED) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)ar (AFC)
[Hint: Join EC and AD. Show that BE || AC and DE || AB, etc.]
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 5
Answer:
Join EC and AD.
In equilateral ∆ ABC, ∠ ACB = 60°
In equilateral ∆ BDE, ∠ DBE = 60°
∴ ∠ CBE = 60°
Thus, ∠ ACB = ∠ CBE
But, ∠ ACB and ∠ CBE are alternate angles formed by transversal BC of AC and BE and they are equal.
∴BE || AC .
Similarly, ∠ ABD = ∠ BDE = 60°
∴ DE || AB
Now, in ∆ ABC, D is the midpoint of BC.
Hence, AD is a median of ∆ ABC.
∴ ar (ADB) = ar (ADC) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ar (ABC)
∆ ABC and AAEC are on the same base AC and between the same parallels AC and BE.
∴ ar (ABC) = ar (AEC)
∴ ar (ABC) = ar (ADC) + ar (EDC) + ar (AED) …………….. (1)
In ∆ EBC, ED is a median.
∴ ar (EDC) = ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ar (EBC) ………………… (2)
∆ AED and ∆ BDE are on the same base DE and between the same parallels AB and DE.
∴ ar (AED) = ar (BDE) …………… (3)
From (1), (2) and (3),
ar (ABC) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ar (ABC) + ar (BDE) + ar (BDE)
∴ ar (ABC) – \(\frac{1}{2}\) ar (ABC) = 2ar (BDE)
∴\(\frac{1}{2}\)ar (ABC) = 2ar (BDE)
∴ ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)ar (ABC) ….. Result (i)
∆ BAE and ∆ BCE are on the same base BE and between the same parallels BE and AC.
∴ ar (BAE) = ar (BCE) ……………. (4)
In ∆ BEC, ED is a median.
∴ ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ar (BCE)
∴ ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ar (BAE) [by (4)] ……. Result (ii)
The diagonals of trapezium ABED intersect at F.
∴ ar (AFD) = ar (BFE) ……………… (5)
The diagonals of trapezium ABEC intersect at F.
∴ ar (ABF) = ar (EFC) ………………….. (6)
In ∆ ABC, AD is a median. s
∴ ar (ABC) = 2ar (ADB) S
∴ ar (ABC) = 2[ar (ABF) + ar (AFD)l
∴ ar (ABC) = 2[ar (EFC) + ar (BFE)] [by (5) and (6)]
∴ ar (ABC) = 2ar (BEC) … Result (iii)
In trapezium ABED, AB || ED and diagonals intersect at F.
∴ ar (BFE) = ar (AFD) …….. Result (iv)
By result (i),
ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)ar (ABC)
∴ ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) 2ar (ABD)
∴ ar (BDE) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ar (ABD)
∆ BDE and ∆ ABD have the common base s BD.
∴ Altitude on BD in ∆ BDE = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × altitude on BD in ∆ ABD.
Now, the altitude on base BD in ∆ BDE is the same as the altitude on base BF in ∆ BEF and the altitude on base BD in ∆ ABD is the same as the altitude on base FD in ∆ AFD.
∴ Altitude on base BF in ∆ BEF
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × altitude on base FD in ∆ AFD.
But, ar (BFE) = ar (AFD) …Result (iv)]
∴ BF = 2 × FD
Now, in ∆ BFE and ∆ FED, the altitudes corresponding to base BF and FD respectively are the same.
∴ ar (BFE) = 2ar (FED) … Result (v)
Suppose, in ∆ ABD, the altitude on base BD = h.
∴ In ∆ AFC, the altitude on base FC = h.
Also, in ∆ BDE, the altitude on base BD = \(\frac{h}{2}\)
∴ In A FED, the altitude on base FD = \(\frac{h}{2}\).
Now, ar (FED) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × FD × \(\frac{h}{2}\) = \(\frac{h \times \mathrm{FD}}{4}\).
∴ FD = \(\frac{4 {ar}(\mathrm{FED})}{h}\) ………….. (7)
and ar (AFC) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × FC × h = \(\frac{h}{2}\) × FC
= \(\frac{h}{2}\) (CD + FD)
= \(\frac{h}{2}\) (BD + FD) [∵ BD = CD]
= \(\frac{h}{2}\) (BF + FD + FD)
= \(\frac{h}{2}\) (2FD + FD + FD) [∵ BF = 2FD]
= \(\frac{h}{2}\) × 4FD
∴ ar (AFC) = 2 × h × FD
= 2 × h × \(\frac{4 {ar}(\mathrm{FED})}{h}\) [by (7)]
∴ ar (AFC) = 8 ar (FED)
∴ ar (FED) = \(\frac{1}{8}\) ar (AFC) … Result (vi)

Answer:
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 6
Draw AM ⊥ BD and CN ⊥ BD, where M and N are points on BD.
∴ ar (APB) × ar (CPD)
= (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × PB × AM) × (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × PD × CN)
= (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × PB × CN) × (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × PD × AM)
Thus, ar (APB) × ar (CPD) = ar (APD) × ar (BPC)
