Area Proposition
Area of a Closed Shape
The planar area of any enclosed figure is the portion of the plane enclosed by that figure. The measure of this planar area in the form of numbers in suitable units is termed ‘area’. Ex: 5 m2.
Properties of the Area of a Figure
- If two figures are similar in size and shape, they are said to be congruent. And if two figures are congruent, then their area must also be the same.
- The reverse is not true, i.e. if two figures have the same area, then they need not be congruent.
Area of Parallelogram
Area of a parallelogram=base ✕ height
The height is perpendicular to the base.
Figures on the Same Base and Between the Same Parallels
If two geometric figures share a common side as their base and their opposite vertices are located on the base’s parallel, they are said to be on the same base and between the same parallels.
Parallelograms on the Same Base and Between the Same Parallels
Two parallelograms with the same base, and between the same parallels, are equal in area.
Triangles on the Same Base and Between the Same Parallels
Two triangles that share the same base and their opposite vertex lie on the same parallel line (parallel to the base) have equal areas.
Here, ABC and PBC are two triangles having a common base BC and are situated between the same parallel lines XY and BC.
Then ar(ABC)=ar(PBC)
Area of Triangle
Area of a triangle = 12*base×height
Median of a Triangle
- The line segment drawn from a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side is known as the median.
- Every triangle has three medians.
- The centroid is the point where the medians intersect.
- Any median divides the triangle into two parts of equal areas.
