### Results on Area of Quadrilateral

(i) Any diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.

In the above given figure,

$\text{ar(}\Delta \text{ABC})=\text{ar}(\Delta \text{ACD)}$

Similarly

$\text{ar(}\Delta \text{ABD})=\text{ar}(\Delta \text{BCD)}$

(ii) Parallelograms which are on the same base and between the same parallel lines are equal in area.

In the above given figure,

$ar(l{{l}^{gm}}ABCD)=ar(l{{l}^{gm}}ABEF)$

(iii) Triangles which are on the same base and between the same parallel lines are equal in area.

In the above given figure $QR|\,\,|AB$

Then $~\text{ar(}\Delta \text{PQR)}=\text{ar(}\Delta \text{QRS)}$

(iv) Area of trapezium= $\frac{1}{2}$ (sum of parallel sides) $\times$ (distance between them)

• A quadrilateral is known as a concave quadrilateral if one interior angle is reflex.

• The sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is${{360}^{o}}$.
• In a parallelogram opposite sides and opposite angles are equal and diagonals bisect each other.
• If a transversal intersect three and more than three parallel lines in such a way that all the intercepts are equal, then the intercept on any other transversal is also equal.
• Parallelograms which one on the same base and between the same parallel lines are equal in area.
• Triangles which are on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal in area.

In the figure given below shows a pentagon in which TU drawn parallel to SP meet at QP produced at U and RV parallel to SQ, meet PQ produced at V then:

(a) ar(pentagon PQRST) $=\text{ar(}\Delta \text{STU)}+\text{ar(}\Delta \text{QRV)}$

(b) ar(pentagon PQRST) $~=\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SUV)}$

(c) ar(pentagon PQRST) $~=\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SUV)}+\text{ar(}\Delta \text{TUP)}$

(d) ar(pentagon PQRST) $=\text{ar}(\Delta \text{SUV})+\text{ar(}\Delta \text{QRV)}$

(e) None of these

Explanation:

Since $RV|\,|SQ$ $\Rightarrow$ $~\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SPT)}=\text{ar}(\Delta \text{TUP)}$

$\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SQR)}+\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SPT)}+\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SPQ)}=\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SRV)}+$$\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SUP)}+\text{ar(}\Delta \text{BPQ)}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\text{ar(pentagon PQRST)}=\text{ar(}\Delta \text{SUV)}$
