  1. Ncert solutions class 9 chapter 9-37

    We know that, median divides the triangle into two triangles of equal area,

    PC is the median of ABC.

    Ar (ΔBPC) = ar (ΔAPC) ……….(i)

    RC is the median of APC.

    Ar (ΔARC) = ½ ar (ΔAPC) ……….(ii)

    PQ is the median of BPC.

    Ar (ΔPQC) = ½ ar (ΔBPC) ……….(iii)

    From eq. (i) and (iii), we get,

    ar (ΔPQC) = ½ ar (ΔAPC) ……….(iv)

    From eq. (ii) and (iv), we get,

    ar (ΔPQC) = ar (ΔARC) ……….(v)

    P and Q are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively [given]

    PQ||AC

    and, PA = ½ AC

    Since, triangles between same parallel are equal in area, we get,

    ar (ΔAPQ) = ar (ΔPQC) ……….(vi)

    From eq. (v) and (vi), we obtain,

    ar (ΔAPQ) = ar (ΔARC) ……….(vii)

    R is the mid-point of AP.

    , RQ is the median of APQ.

    Ar (ΔPRQ) = ½ ar (ΔAPQ) ……….(viii)

    From (vii) and (viii), we get,

    ar (ΔPRQ) = ½ ar (ΔARC)

    Hence Proved.
