EXERCISE 9.4 (Optional)*

NCERT class 9 maths chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles

Question 1:Parallelogram ABCD and rectangle ABEF are on the same base AB and have equal areas. Show that the perimeter of the parallelogram is greater than that of the rectangle.

Question 2:In Fig. 9.30, D and E are two points on BC such that BD = DE = EC. Show that ar (ABD) = ar (ADE) = ar (AEC). Can you now answer the question that you have left in the ‘Introduction’ of this chapter, whether the field of Budhia has been actually divided into three parts of equal area? [Remark: Note that by taking BD = DE = EC, the triangle ABC is divided into three triangles ABD, ADE and AEC of equal areas. In the same way, by dividing BC into n equal parts and joining the points of division so obtained to the opposite vertex of BC, you can divide DABC into n triangles of equal areas.]

Question 5:In Fig.9.33, ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles such that D is the mid-point of BC. If AE intersects BC at F, show that (i) ar (BDE) = 1 4 ar (ABC) (ii) ar (BDE) = 1 2 ar (BAE) (iii) ar (ABC) = 2 ar (BEC) (iv) ar (BFE) = ar (AFD) (v) ar (BFE) = 2 ar (FED) (vi) ar (FED) = 1 8 ar (AFC) [Hint : Join EC and AD. Show that BE || AC and DE || AB, etc.

Question 7:P and Q are respectively the mid-points of sides AB and BC of a triangle ABC and R is the mid-point of AP, show that (i) ar (PRQ) = 1 2 ar (ARC) (ii) ar (RQC) = 3 8 ar (ABC) (iii) ar (PBQ) = ar (ARC)

Question 8:In Fig. 9.34, 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: Fig. 9.34 (i) D MBC @ D ABD (ii) ar (BYXD) = 2 ar (MBC) (iii) ar (BYXD) = ar (ABMN) (iv) D FCB @ D ACE (v) ar (CYXE) = 2 ar (FCB) (vi) ar (CYXE) = ar (ACFG) (vii) ar (BCED) = ar (ABMN) + ar (ACFG) Note : Result (vii) is the famous Theorem of Pythagoras. You shall learn a simpler proof of this theorem in Class X.
