PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is my proof correct ......

Q) Diagonals AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD intersects at O . If AB=CD , then show that 1) ar(DOC) = ar(AOB) 2) ar (DCB) = ar(ACB) [ question from NCERT class 9 textbook.

In triangle ABD , AO is the median therefore ar(AOB) = ar(AOD) [ since median of a triangle divides it into 2 triangles with equal areas ]...................................(1) and also in triangle BCD , CO is the median and ar(COB) = ar ( COD) ...................................(2) . Adding (1) and (2) we get ar(ABD)= ar(BCD) . Thus diagonal divides it into 2 congruent triangles. Now we consider equal lines AB and CD after joining their end points we would either get an isosceles trapezium if the lines are not parallel or a parallelogram if the lines are parallel . But the diagonal of a isos. trapezium does not divide it into 2 triangles with equal areas , therefore it must be a parallelogram . Now triangles ACB and BCD are on the same base BC and between same parallels AD and BC . therefore ar(DCB)=ar(ACB) [ proof 2] and subtracting ar(BOC) from both sides we get ar(DOC)=ar(AOB] [ proof 1 ] . Hence proved . [ The question can easily be done by drawing perpendiculars from B and D on AC.]

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

[Adding (1) and (2) we get ar(ABD)= ar(BCD) ].................................... this part of your answer goes wrong because this part can be only be prooved if bo would be the median if BO would be the median than TRIANGLE BOC AND BOA would have equal area. and then ar[cob]=ar[boa]. Then area of all the four triangles would be equal. then you can prove your first part. so, this prove is wrong.

But , I have not used BO . I have just used median AO and CO .

karandeep singh ludhar - 6 years, 2 months ago

but by using ao and co u can not prove ar[abd] =ar [dcb]. i think you are not clear with my answer let me explain . let us take ar[abd]=x and ar[cbd]=y then since ao is the median of x ar [aod]=ar[aob]=1/2x. since co is the median ar[cod]=ar[cob]=1/2y. and 1/2y would be only equal to 1/2x if their areas are equal that is do would be the median.i hope your doubt would be clear by this for more doubt about this contact me at 0788(2290223).

@Abhishek Anand – @karandeep singh ludhar @abhishek anand .. Kaddu's way is correct.. I did it the same way. This question appeared in our exams too right?.. Kaddu apna e-mail id de

Hrishik Mukherjee - 6 years, 2 months ago

@Hrishik Mukherjee – But the question appeared in our exams just one time and also not right but in paper .

@Karandeep Singh Ludhar – Bhai english -_- .. Aur Kaddu Topper !!! IMO ka solve kr liya re :'( .. Rukk be dharta hoon tereko

@Hrishik Mukherjee – Tereko ke baad bracket kon lagayega .

@Karandeep Singh Ludhar – Bracket konchika :p :p .. Tu aara hai FIITJEE?

@Hrishik Mukherjee – Why is a tomato red and round . bataa.

@Karandeep Singh Ludhar – Bhai tu hi bta dey... Because Brinjal is long and purple :p _/_

@Hrishik Mukherjee – Because if it would have been green and long it would be a cucumber . <english me isliye likha kyon ki question aur answer dono english me the .

@Karandeep Singh Ludhar – tu apna number de na

@Abhishek Anand – Par maine kal hi to tujhe diya tha .

@Karandeep Singh Ludhar – vapas se dede mere bhai

@Abhishek Anand – Kaddu ka 8959868806 hai.. I remember

@Hrishik Mukherjee – The number is not correct .Haaaaaaaa

@Karandeep Singh Ludhar – Bhai change ho gaya hoga.. Give me your new number and email id

@Hrishik Mukherjee – karan apne nani ke ghar gaya hai vaha ka number mang raha hoo

@Hrishik Mukherjee – Ye question try karo.. Its a level 4 question by me : https://brilliant.org/problems/heart-attack-omg-p/?group=rb5lqcXVsIsB#!/solution-comments/89095/

@Karandeep Singh Ludhar – Stud ^^ _/_

@Hrishik Mukherjee – hybrid brinjal khata hai kya

@Hrishik Mukherjee – kaise sahi hai bhai /////explain??????????

@Abhishek Anand – Kaise galat hai /////explain??????????

@Abhishek Anand – Search for NCERT Model Solutions :)

@Hrishik Mukherjee – apna phone number de karta hoo explain\

@Hrishik Mukherjee – solution me perpendicular bana ke kiye hai

@Hrishik Mukherjee – sir, tera answer sahi kiye kya

@Abhishek Anand – Hao.. Mere 2marks kate construction mei :'(

@Hrishik Mukherjee – tu to median se kiya hai jo quetion me diya hua tha to tu construction kya kiya

@Abhishek Anand – DB pe perpendiculars draw karke (From A and C) dono ko congruent proove krde.. Easy and simple =D.. Ye shayad question 17 thaa na?

@Hrishik Mukherjee – vahi to mai bhi kiya hoo lekin kara ka prove galat hai
