  1. Given, ABCD is a trapezium with AB || DC. Diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at point O.

    Ncert solutions class 10 chapter 6-29

    In ΔAOB and ΔCOD, we have

    ∠1 = ∠2 (Alternate angles)

    ∠3 = ∠4 (Alternate angles)

    ∠5 = ∠6 (Vertically opposite angle)

    ∴ ΔAOB ~ ΔCOD [AAA similarity criterion]

    As we know, If two triangles are similar then the ratio of their areas are equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. Therefore,

    Area of (ΔAOB)/Area of (ΔCOD) = AB2/CD2

    = (2CD)2/CD2 [∴ AB = 2CD]

    ∴ Area of (ΔAOB)/Area of (ΔCOD)

    = 4CD2/CD2 = 4/1

    Hence, the required ratio of the area of ΔAOB and ΔCOD = 4:1
