Ex 9.2 Class 9 Maths Question 1.
In figure, ABCD is a parallelogram, AE ⊥ DC and CF ⊥ AD. If AB = 16 cm, AE = 8 cm and CF = 10 cm, find AD.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.2 Q1
Solution:
BSOWe have, AE ⊥ DC and AB = 16 cm
∵ AB = CD [Opposite sides of parallelogram]
∴ CD = 16 cm
Now, area of parallelogram ABCD = CD x AE
= (16 x 8) cm2 = 128 cm2 [∵ AE = 8 cm]
Since, CF ⊥ AD
∴ Area of parallelogram ABCD = AD x CF
⇒ AD x CF = 128 cm
⇒ AD x 10 cm = 128 cm2 [∵ CF= 10 cm]
⇒ AD = \frac { 128 }{ 10 } cm = 12.8 cm 10
Thus, the required length of AD is 12.8 cm

∴ ar(∆APB) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }AEFB) …(1)
Also, ∆PCD and parallelogram CDEF are on the same base CD and between the same parallels CD and EF.
∴ ar(APCD) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }CDEF) …(2)

ar(∆APB) + ar(∆PCD) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }AEFB)\quad +\quad \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }CDEF)
⇒ ar(∆APB) + ar(∆PCD) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }ABCD) …(3)
(ii) ∆APD and ||gm ∆DGH are on the same base AD and between the same parallels AD and GH.

ar(∆APD) + ar(∆PBC) = ar(∆APB) + ar(∆PCD)

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.2 Q5
Solution:
(i) Parallelogram PQRS and parallelogram ABRS are on the same base RS and between the same parallels RS and PB.
∴ ar(PQRS) = ar(ABRS)
(ii) AAXS and ||gm ABRS are on the same base AS and between the same parallels AS and BR. *
∴ ar(AXS) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar(ABRS) …(1)
But ar(PQRS) = ar(ABRS) …(2) [Proved in (i) part]
From (1) and (2), we have

A farmer was having a field in the form of a parallelogram PQRS. She took any point A on RS and joined it to points P and Q. In how many parts the fields is divided? What are the shapes of these parts? The farmer wants to sow wheat and pulses in equal portions of the field separately. How should she do it.
Solution:
The farmer is having the field in the form of parallelogram PQRS and a point A is situated on RS. Join AP and AQ.
Clearly, the field is divided into three parts i.e., in ∆APS, ∆PAQ and ∆QAR.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.2 A6
Since, ∆PAQ and pt.
parallelogram PQRS are on the same base PQ and between the same parallels PQ and RS.
ar(∆PAQ) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }PQRS) …(1)
⇒ ar(||gm PQRS) – ar(∆PAQ) = ar(||gm PQRS) – \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }PQRS)
⇒ [ar(∆APS) + ar(∆QAR)] = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }PQRS) …(2)
From (1) and (2), we have
ar(∆PAQ) = ar[(∆APS) + (∆QAR)]
Thus, the farmer can sow wheat in (∆PAQ) and pulses in [(∆APS) + (∆QAR)] or wheat in [(∆APS) + (∆QAR)] and pulses in (∆PAQ).

Ex 9.3 Class 9 Maths Question 1.
In figure, E is any point on median AD of a ∆ABC. Show that ar (ABE) = ar (ACE).
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.3 Q1
Solution:
We have a ∆ABC such that AD is a median.
∴ ar(∆ABD) = ar(∆ACD) …(1)
[∵ A median divides the triangle into two triangles of equal areas]
Similarly, in ∆BEC, we have
ar(∆BED) = ar(∆DEC) …(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1), we have
ar(∆ABD) – ar(∆BED) = ar(∆ACD) – ar(∆DEC)
⇒ ar(∆ABE) = ar(∆ACE).
Ex 9.3 Class 9 Maths Question 2.
In a triangle ABC, E is the mid-point of median AD. Show that ax (BED) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar(ABC).
Solution:
We have a ∆ABC and its median AD.
Let us join B and E.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.3 A2
Since, a median divides the triangle into two triangles of equal area.
ar (∆ABD) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar(\Delta ABC) …….(1)
Now, in ∆ABD, BE is a median.
[ ∵ E is the mid-point of AD]
∴ ar(∆BED) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar(\Delta ABC) …(2)
From (1) and (2), we have
ar(∆BED) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } [\frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar(\Delta ABC) ]
⇒ ar(∆BED) = \frac { 1 }{ 4 } ar(\Delta ABC)
Ex 9.3 Class 9 Maths Question 3.
Show that the diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal area.
Solution:
We have a parallelogram ABCD (say)
such that its diagonals intersect at O.
∵Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
∴ AO = OC and BO = OD
Let us draw CE ⊥ BD.
Now, ar(∆BOC) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 }BO x CE and
ar(∆DOC) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 }OD x CE
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.3 a3
Since, BO = OD
∴ ar(∆BOC) = ar(∆DOC) …(1)
Similarly, ar(∆AOD) = ar(∆DOC) …(2)
and ar(∆AOB) = ar(∆BOC) …(3)
From (1), (2) and (3), we have
ar(∆AOB) = ar(∆BOC) = ar(∆COD) = ar(∆DOA)
Thus, the diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal area.
Ex 9.3 Class 9 Maths Question 4.
In figure, ABC and ABD are two triangles on the same base AB. If line segment CD is bisected by AB at O, show that ar(ABC) = ar(ABD)
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.3 Q4
Solution:
we have ∆ABC and ∆ABD are on the same base AB.
∵ CD is bisected at O. [Given]
∴ CO = OD
Now, in ∆ACD, AO is a median
∴ ar(∆OAC) = ar(∆OAD) …(1)
Again, in ∆BCD, BO is a median
∴ ar(∆OBC) = ar(∆ODB) …(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we have
ar(∆OAQ + ar(∆OBQ) = ar(∆OAD) + ar(∆ODB)
⇒ ar(∆ABC) = ar(∆ABD)
Ex 9.3 Class 9 Maths Question 5.
D,E and F are respectively the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB of a ∆ABC. Show that
(i) BDEF is a parallelogram.
(ii) ar(DEF) = \frac { 1 }{ 4 } ar(ABC)
(iii) ar(BDEF) = \frac { 1 }{ 4 } ar(ABC)
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.3 Q5
Solution:
We have ∆ABC such
that D,E and Fare the mid-points of BC, CA and AB respectively.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.3 a5
(i) In ∆ABC, E and F are the mid-points of AC and B D C AB respectively.
∴ EF || BC [Mid-point theorem]
⇒ EF || BD
Also, EF = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } (BC)
⇒ EF = BD [D is the mid – point of BC]
Since BDEF is a quadrilateral whose one pair of opposite sides is parallel and of equal lengths.
∴ BDEF is a parallelogram.
(ii) We have proved that BDEF is a parallelogram.
Similarly, DCEF is a parallelogram and DEAF is also a parallelogram.
Now, parallelogram BDEF and parallelogram DCEF are on the same base EF and between the same parallels BC and EF.
∴ ar(||gm BDEF) = ar(||gm DCEF)
⇒ \frac { 1 }{ 2 }ar(||gm BDEF) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 }ar(||gm DCEF)
⇒ ar(∆BDF) = ar(∆CDE) …(1)
[Diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area]
Similarly, ar(∆CDE) = ar(∆DEF) …(2)
and ar(∆AEF) = ar(∆DEF) …(3)
From (1), (2) and (3), we have
ar(∆AEF) = ar(∆FBD) = ar(∆DEF) = ar(∆CDE)
Thus, ar(∆ABC) = ar(∆AEF) + ar(∆FBD) + ar(∆DEF) + ar(∆CDE) = 4 ar(∆DEF)
⇒ ar(∆DEF) = \frac { 1 }{ 4 }ar(∆ABC)
(iii) We have, ar (||gm BDEF) = ar(∆BDF) + ar(∆DEF)
= ar(∆DEF) + ar(∆DEF) [∵ ar(∆DEF) = ar(∆BDF)]
2ar(∆DEF) = 2[\frac { 1 }{ 4 }ar(∆ABC)]
\frac { 1 }{ 2 }ar(∆ABC)
Thus, ar (||gm BDEF) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 }ar(∆ABC)
Ex 9.3 Class 9 Maths Question 6.

(i) In ∆DEO and ∆BFO, we have
DO = BO [Given]
∠DOE = ∠BOF [Vertically opposite angles]
∠DEO = ∠BFO [Each 90°]
∴ ∆DEO ≅ ∆BFO [By A AS congruency]
⇒ DE = BF [By C.P.C.T.]
and ar(∆DEO) = ar(∆BFO) …(1)
Now, in ∆DEC and ∆BFA, we have
∠DEC = ∠BFA [Each 90°]
DE = BF [Proved above]
DC = BA [Given]
∴ ∆DEC ≅ ∆BFA [By RHS congruency]
⇒ ar(∆DEC) = ar(∆BFA) …(2)
and ∠1 = ∠2 …(3) [By C.P.C.T.]
Adding (1) and (2), we have
ar(∆DEO) + ar(∆DEC) = ar(∆BFO) + ar(∆BFA)
⇒ ar(∆DOC) = ar(∆AOB)
(ii) Since, ar(∆DOC) = ar(∆AOB) [Proved above]
Adding ar(∆BOC) on both sides, we have
ar(∆DOC) + ar(∆BOC) = ar(∆AOB) + ar(∆BOC)
⇒ ar(∆DCB) = ar(∆ACB)
(iii) Since, ∆DCS and ∆ACB are both on the same base CB and having equal areas.
∴ They lie between the same parallels CB and DA.
⇒ CB || DA
Also ∠1 = ∠2, [By (3)]
which are alternate interior angles.
So, AB || CD
Hence, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Ex 9.3 Class 9 Maths Question 7.
D and E are points on sides AB and AC respectively of ∆ ABC such that ar (DBC) = ar (EBC). Prove that DE || BC.
Solution:
We have ∆ABC and points D and E are such that ar(DBC) = ar{EBC)
Since ∆DBC and ∆EBC are on the same base BC and having same area.

BE || AC and CF || AB.
Since, XY ||BC and BE || CY
∴ BCYE is a paralleloam.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.3 a8
Now, the parallelogram BCYE and ∆ABE are on the same base 8E and between the same parallels BE and AC.
∴ ar(∆ABE) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }BCYE) …..(1)
Again, CF || AB [Given]
XY || BC [Given]
CF || BX and XF || BC
∴ BCFX is a parallelogram.
Now, ∆ACF and parallelogram BCFX are on the same base CF and between the same parallels AB and CF.
∴ar(∆ACF) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }BCFX) …(2)
Also, parallelogram BCFX and parallelogram BCYE are on the same base BC and between the same parallels BC and EF.
∴ ar(||gm BCFX) = ar(||gm BCYE) ………(3)
From (1), (2) and (3), we get
ar(∆BE) = ar(∆ACF)
Ex 9.3 Class 9 Maths Question 9.

Solution:
Let us join AC and PQ.
ABCD is a parallelogram [Given]
and AC is its diagonal, we know that diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
∴ ar(∆ABC) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }ABCD) …(1)
Also, PBQR is a parallelogram [Given]
and QP is its diagonal.
∴ ar(∆BPQ) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }PBQR) …(2)
Since, ∆ACQ and AAPQ are on the same base AQ and between A the same parallels AQ and CP.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.3 a9
∴ ar(∆ACQ) = ar(∆APQ)
⇒ ar(∆ACQ) – ar(∆ABQ)
= ar(∆APQ) – ar(∆ABQ)
[Subtracting ar(∆ABQ) from both sides]
⇒ ar(∆ABC) = ar(∆BPQ) …(3)
From (1), (2) and (3), we get
\frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }ABCD) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar({ \parallel }^{ gm }PBQR)
⇒ ar( ||gm ABCD) = ar(||gm PBQR)

Now, ∆DAF and ∆DCF are on the same base DF and between the same parallels AC and DF.
∴ ar(ADAF) = ar(ADCF)
Subtracting ar(∆DEF) from both sides, we get
ar(∆DAF) – ar(∆DEF) = ar(∆DCF) – ar(∆DEF)
⇒ ar(∆ADE) = ar(∆CEF)
The portion of ∆ADE can be taken over by the Gram Panchayat by adding the land (∆CEF) to his (Itwaari) land so as to form a triangular plot,
i.e. ∆ABF.
Let us prove that ar(∆ABF) = ar(quad. ABCD), we have

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 Q3
Solution:
Since, ABCD is a parallelogram [Given]
∴ Its opposite sides are parallel and equal.
i.e., AD = BC …(1)
Now, ∆ADE and ∆BCF are on equal bases AD = BC [from (1)] and between the same parallels AB and EF.
So, ar(∆ADE) = ar(∆BCF).

In figure, ABCD is a parallelogram and BC is produced to a point Q such that AD = CQ. If AQ intersect DC at P, show that ar(BPC) = ax(DPQ).[Hint Join AC.]
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 Q4
Solution:
We have a parallelogram ABCD and AD = CQ. Let us join AC.
We know that triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
Since, ∆QAC and ∆QDC are on the same base QC and between the same parallels AD and BQ.
∴ ar(∆QAC) = ar(∆QDC)
Subtracting ar(∆QPC) from both sides, we have
ar(∆QAQ – ar(∆QPC) = ar(∆QDC) – ar(∆QPC)
⇒ ar(∆PAQ = ar(∆QDP) …(1)
Since, ∆PAC and ∆PBC are on the same base PC and between the same parallels AB and CD.
∴ ar(∆PAC) = ar(∆PBC) …(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
ar(∆PBC) = ar(∆QDP)

(ii) Since, ∆ABC and ∆BED are equilateral triangles.
⇒ ∠ACB = ∠DBE = 60°
⇒ BE || AC
∆BAE and ∆BEC are on the same base BE and between the same parallels BE and AC.
ar(∆BAE) = ar(∆BEC)
⇒ ar(∆BAE) = 2 ar(∆BDE) [ DE is median of ∆EBC. ∴ ar(∆BEC) = || ar(∆BDE)]
⇒ ar(ABDE) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 }ar(∆BAE)
(iii) ar(∆ABC) = 4 ar(∆BDE)[Proved in (i) part]
ar(∆BEC) = 2 ar(∆BDE)
[ ∵ DE is median of ∆BEC]
⇒ ar(∆ABC) = 2 ar(∆BEC)
(iv) Since, ∆ABC and ∆BDE are equilateral triangles.
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠BDE = 60°
⇒ AB || DE
∆BED and ∆AED are on the same base ED and between the same parallels AB and DE.
∴ ar(∆BED) = ar(∆AED)
Subtracting ar(AEFD) from both sides, we get
⇒ ar(∆BED) – ar(∆EFD) = ar(∆AED) – ar(∆EFD)
⇒ ar(∆BEE) = ar(∆AFD)
(v) In right angled ∆ABD, we get
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 A5A
From (1) and (2), we get
ar(∆AFD) = 2 ar(∆EFD)
ar(∆AFD) = ar(∆BEF) [From (iv) part]
⇒ ar(∆BFE) = 2 ar(∆EFD)
(vi) ar(∆AFC) = ar(∆AFD) + ar(∆ADC)
= ar(∆BFE) + \frac { 1 }{ 2 } ar(∆ABC) [From (iv) part]
= ar(∆BFE) + \frac { 1 }{ 2 } x 4 x ar(∆BDE) [From (i) part]
= ar(∆BFE) + 2ar(∆BDE)
= 2ar(∆FED) + 2[ar(∆BFE) + ar(∆FED)]
= 2ar(∆FED) + 2[2ar(∆FED) + ar(∆FED)] [From (v) part]
= 2ar(∆FED) + 2[3ar(∆FED)]
= 2ar(∆FED) + 6ar(∆FED)
= 8ar(∆FED)

In figure, ABC is a right triangle right angled at A. BCED, ACFG and ABMN are squares on the sides BC, CA and AB respectively. Line segment AX ⊥ DE meets BC at Y. Show that
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles Ex 9.4 Q8
(i) ∆MBC = ∆ABD
(ii) ar(BYXD) = 2 ar(MBC)
(iii) ar(BYXD) = ax(ABMN)
(iv) ∆FCB ≅ ∆ACE
(v) ar(CYXE) = 2 ar(FCB)
(vi) ar(CYXE) = ax(ACFG)
(vii) ar(BCED) = ar(ABMN) + ar(ACFG)
Solution:
We have a right ∆ABC such that BCED, ACFG and ABMN are squares on its sides BC, CA and AB respectively. Line segment AX 1 DE is also drawn such that it meets BC at Y.
(i) ∠CBD = ∠MBA [Each90°]
∴ ∠CBD + ∠ABC = ∠MBA + ∠ABC
(By adding ∠ABC on both sides)
or ∠ABD = ∠MBC
In ∆ABD and ∆MBC, we have
AB = MB [Sides of a square]
BD = BC
∠ABD = ∠MBC [Proved above]
∴ ∆ABD = ∆MBC [By SAS congruency]
(ii) Since parallelogram BYXD and ∆ABD are on the same base BD and between the same parallels BD and AX.
∴ ar(∆ABD) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 }ar(||gm BYXD)
But ∆ABD ≅ ∆MBC [From (i) part]
Since, congruent triangles have equal
areas.
∴ ar(∆MBC) = \frac { 1 }{ 2 }ar(||gm BYXD)
⇒ ar(||gm BYXD) = 2ar(∆MBC)
(iii) Since, ar(||gm BYXD) = 2ar(∆MBC) …(1) [From (ii) part]
and or(square ABMN) = 2or(∆MBC) …(2)
[ABMN and AMBC are on the same base MB and between the same parallels MB and NC]
From (1) and (2), we have
ar(BYXD) = ar(ABMN) .
(iv) ∠FCA = ∠BCE (Each 90°)
or ∠FCA+ ∠ACB = ∠BCE+ ∠ACB
[By adding ∠ACB on both sides]
⇒ ∠FCB = ∠ACE
In ∆FCB and ∆ACE, we have
FC = AC [Sides of a square]
CB = CE [Sides of a square]
∠FCB = ∠ACE [Proved above]
⇒ ∆FCB ≅ ∆ACE [By SAS congruency]
(v) Since, ||gm CYXE and ∆ACE are on the same base CE and between the same parallels CE and AX.
∴ ar(||gm CYXE) = 2ar(∆ACE)
But ∆ACE ≅ ∆FCB [From (iv) part]
Since, congruent triangles are equal in areas.
∴ ar (||<gm CYXE) = 2ar(∆FCB)
(vi) Since, ar(||gm CYXE) = 2ar(∆FCB) …(3)
[From (v) part]
Also (quad. ACFG) and ∆FCB are on the same base FC and between the same parallels FC and BG.
⇒ ar(quad. ACFG) = 2ar(∆FCB) …(4)
From (3) and (4), we get
ar(quad. CYXE) = ar(quad. ACFG) …(5)
(vii) We have ar(quad. BCED)
= ar(quad. CYXE) + ar(quad. BYXD)
= ar(quad. CYXE) + ar(quad. ABMN)
[From (iii) part]
Thus, ar (quad. BCED)
= ar(quad. ABMN) + ar(quad. ACFG)
[From (vi) part]
