Q22 of 31 Page 232

The area of the parallelogram shaped region ABCD is 100 sq units. P is midpoint of side BC; let us write how much area of triangular region ABP is.


As the triangle ABP and parallelogram ABCD


Both are on same base AB


And between parallel lines Because P is on BC while opposite sides of parallelogram are parallel


∴ Area of triangle ABP = × Area of parallelogram ABCD


Area of triangle ABP = × 100 sq. unit


= 50 sq. unit
