Q66 of 131 Page 226

State whether the statements are True or False.

In Fig. 9.29 ratio of the area of triangle ABC to the area of triangle ACD is the same as the ratio of base BC of triangle ABC to the base CD of triangle ACD.


True

Using the formula: Area of triangle = × b × h


Area of ΔABC = × BC × AC


Area of ΔACD = × CD × AC




⇒ Ratio of the area of ΔABC to that of the area of ΔACD is the same as the ratio of base BC of ΔABC to the base CD of ΔACD.
