ABC is a triangle in which D is the mid-point of BC. E and F are mid-points of DC and AE respectively. If area of ΔABC is 16 cm2, find the area of ΔDEF.

Given that,

D, E, F are the mid-points of BC, DC, AE respectively


Let, AD is median of triangle ABC


Area ( = Area (


= * 16


= 8 cm2


Now, AE is a median of


Area ( = Area (


= * 8


= 4 cm2


Again,


DE is the median of


Area (F) = Area (


= * 4


= 2 cm2
