Given,
ABCD is a trapezium with AB || DC.
XY || AC
Construction,
Join CX
To Prove,
ar(ADX) = ar(ACY)
Proof:
ar(△ADX) = ar(△AXC) — (i) (Since they are on the same base AX and in-between the same parallels AB and CD)
also,
ar(△ AXC)=ar(△ ACY) — (ii) (Since they are on the same base AC and in-between the same parallels XY and AC.)
(i) and (ii),
ar(△ADX) = ar(△ACY)
