Key Notes: Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles

The document discusses areas of parallelograms and triangles. It states that parallelograms and triangles on the same base and between the same parallels have equal areas. It also notes that a diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two equal triangles, and the diagonals divide it into four equal triangles. Additionally, if a triangle and parallelogram share the same base and parallels, the triangle's area is half the parallelogram's area.

Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles

1. Figures on the same Base and Between the same Parallels


2. Parallelograms on the same Base and between the same Parallels
3. Triangles on the same Base and between the same Parallels

• Area of a figure is a number (in square unit) associated with the part of the plane enclosed by
that figure.
• Two congruent figures have equal areas but the converse is not true.
• Area of a parallelogram = ( base X height )
1
• Area of a triangle = × base × height
2
1
• Area of a trapezium = × (sum of parallel sides) × dis tan ce between them
2
1
• Area of rhombus = × product of diagonals
2
• Parallelogram on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
• A parallelogram and a rectangle on the same base and between the same parallels are equal
in area.
• Triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
• If a triangle and parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then.
1
( Area of triangle ) = (area of the paralle log ram
2
• A diagonal of parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
In parallelogram ABCD, we have Area of ∆ABD = area of ∆ACD

• The diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal areas therefore
ar( ∆AOB)=ar( ∆COD)=ar( ∆AOD)=ar( ∆BOC)

Key Notes

• If a parallelogram and a triangle are on the same base and between the same parallel, then
area of the triangle is equal to one half area of the parallelogram.
• A median AD of a ∆ABC divides it into two triangles of equal areas. Therefore
ar( ∆ABD)=ar( ∆CD )
1
• If the medians of a intersect at G, then ar( ∆AGB)=ar( ∆AGC )=ar( ∆BGC )= ar ( ∆ABC )
3

• Triangles with equal bases and equal areas have equal corresponding altitude.
