1 Assignments in Mathematics Cass IX (Term ) 9. AREAS OF PARALLELOGRAMS AND TRIANGLES IMPORTANT TERMS, DEFINITIONS AND RESULTS If two figures A and B are congruent, they must have equa areas. Or, if A and B are congruent figures, then ar(a) = ar(b) If a panar region formed by a figure T is made up of two non-overapping panar regions formed by figures P and Q, then ar (T) = ar (P) + ar (Q). Two figures are said to be on the same base and between the same paraes, if they have a common base (side) and the vertices (or the vertex) opposite to the common base of each figure ie on a ine parae to the base. Paraeograms on the same base and between the same paraes are equa in area. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT Area of a paraeogram is the product of its any side and the corresponding atitude. Paraeograms on the same base and having equa areas ie between the same paraes. If a paraeogram and a triange are on the same base and between the same paraes, then area of the triange, is haf the area of the paraeogram. Two trianges on the same base and between the same paraes are equa in area. Two trianges having the same base and equa areas ie between the same paraes. Area of a triange is haf the product of its base and the corresponding atitude (or height). A median of a triange divides it into two trianges of equa areas. MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS [1 Mark] 1.
