Parallelograms on Same Base and Between Same Parallels

Parallelograms On The Same (Equal) Base and Between The Same Parallels. Now we are going to discuss about the are of two parallelograms which lie on the same or equal base and between the same parallels.

Theorem 1 Parallelograms on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.

Given Two parallelograms ABCD and ABEF, which have same basae AB and which are between the same parallel lines AB and FC.

To prove $ar(parallel ^{gm}ABDC)=ar(parallel ^{gm}ABEF)$

Proof As ABDC is a parallelogram $Rightarrow$ AB = DC ................(1) [ Opposite sides of a parallelogram]

Similarly in Parallelogram ABEF $Rightarrow$ AB = EF ................(2)

From Eq. (1) and (2) We get DC = EF ...................(3)

Subtracting FD from both sides in Eq (3) We get DC- FD = EF - FD $Rightarrow$ CF = DE ..............(4)

In $Delta s ;AFC;;and;;BED, ;;we;; have$

AC = BD [ Opposite side of the parallelogram ABDC]

AF = BE [ Opposite side of the parallelogram ABEF]

CF = DE [ From Equation(4)]

So, $Delta ;AFC;;cong ;;Delta BED,$ [ By SSS criterion of congruence ]

$Rightarrow ;;;ar(Delta AFC)=ar(Delta BED)$ ...(5) [ Because area of congruent figures is equal]

Now, Adding $ar(square ABDF )$ ob both sides of Eq. (5) we get

$Rightarrow ;;;ar(Delta AFC)+ ar(square ABDF)=ar(Delta BED)+ ar(square ABDF)$

$Rightarrow$ $ar(parallel ^{gm}ABDC)=ar(parallel ^{gm}ABEF)$

Hence Proved

Illustration: In the given figure, $large AB || DC || EF, BE ||AD, ;;and;;AF||DE$ . If the ar (ABCD) = 25sq.m find the ar(DEFH)

Solution: In the given figure, we have AB || DC and AD || BC, $Rightarrow$ ABCD is a parallelogram.

Again,AD || BC $Rightarrow$ AD || GE and AF || DE $Rightarrow$ ADEG is a parallelogram.

Now ||gm ABCD and ||gm ADEG are on the same base AD and between the same parallels AD || BE

$Rightarrow$ ar(|| gm ADEG )= ar(|| gm ABCD ) = 25 sq.m.

Again, AF || DE and EF || DC $Rightarrow$ DEFH is a parallelogram.

Now ||gm DEFH and ||gm ADEG are on the same base DE and between the same parallels DE || AF.

$Rightarrow$ ar(|| gm DEFH )= ar(|| gm ADEG ) = 25 sq.m.

Hence ar(|| gm DEFH )= 25 sq. m.
