A triangle is one of the basic shapes of
geometry: a polygon with three corners or
vertices and three sides or edges which are
line segments.
In Euclidean geometry any three non-
collinear points joined together with three
line segments is called a triangle…
What is a Triangle?
A
B
C
Area of triangle is always calculated by
half its base multiplied to its corresponding
height…
TriangleArea = ½b × h
b = baseh = vertical height
TRIANGLES
1.Triangles on the same base and between the
same parallels are equal in area.
2.Triangles having equal areas and having one side
of one of the triangles equal to one side of the other
have their corresponding altitudes equal.
3.Two triangles having the same base and equal
areas lie between the same parallels.
The area of the parallelogram is got by
multiplying its base to its
corresponding altitude (height)…
ParallelogramArea = b × h
b = baseh = vertical height
PARALLELOGRAMS 1.Parallelograms on the same base and the between the
same parallels are equal in area.
2.A diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.
3.Parallelograms and a rectangle on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
PARALLELOGRAMS
4.The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and the corresponding altitude.
5.The area of a triangle is half he product of any of its side and the corresponding altitude.
6.If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between he same parallels,the area of the triangle is equal to half of he parallelogram.
If two figures have the same shape and the
same size, then they are said to be
congruent figures…
Congruent figures are exact duplicates of
each other. One could be fitted over the
other so that their corresponding parts
coincide.
The concept of congruent figures applies to
figures of any type.
If two figures have the same shape and
the same size, then they are said to be
congruent figures.
For example, rectangle ABCD and
rectangle PQRS are congruent
rectangles as they have the same shape
and the same size.
Side AB and side PQ are in the same
relative position in each of the figures.
We say that the side AB and side PQ
are corresponding sides.

Congruent triangles have the same size
and the same shape. The corresponding
sides and the corresponding angles of
congruent triangles are equal.

There are five
types of
congruence rules.
They are SSS, SAS,
AAS=SAA, ASA and
RHS congruence
Rules.
THEOREM 1
Given: Two parallelograms ABCD and EFCD On the same base DC and between the same
parallels AF and DC.
TO PROVE: ar(ABCD)=ar(EFCD)
PROOF: In ADE and BCF,
Angle DAE= angle CBF (corresponding angles)
Angle AED= Angle BFC (corresponding angles)
Angle ADE= Angle BCF (angle sum property)
Also, AD =BC (opposite sides of the parallelogram ABCD)
Triangle ADE is congruent to triangle BCF (By ASA rule)
Therefore, ar(ADE)=ar(BCF) (congruent figures have equal areas)
Now, ar (ABCD) = ar(ADE) + ar(EDCB)
ar (ABCD) = ar (BCF)=ar(EDCB)
ar (ABCD) = ar (EFCD)
Hence they are equal in area

A E B F
CONCLUSION OF THE THEOREM 1
Parallelograms on the same base or equal bases and
lie between the same parallels are equal in area.
Parallelograms on the same base or equal bases
that have equal areas lie between the same
parallels.
Parallelograms which lie between same parallels
and have equal area lie on the same base.
THEOREM 2
GIVEN : ABCD is a parallelogram, AC is diagonal, Two
Triangles ADC and ABC on the same base AC and between the
Same parallels BC and AD
TO PROVE : ar (Δ ABC ) = ar (Δ CDA )
Proof: In triangles ABC , CDA
AB = CD (opposite sides of a parallelogram )
BC = DA (opposite sides of a parallelogram )
AC = AC (common )
Therefore Δ ABC Δ CDA (S-S-S congruency)
There fore Δ ABC = Δ CDA (if two triangles are congruent then their areas are equal ).

CONCLUSION OF THEOREM 2
Triangles on the same base and between the same
parallels are equal in area.
Triangles on the same base and having equal areas
lie between the same parallels.
Triangles between the same parallels and have
equal area lie on the same base.
THEOREM 3
IF A TRIANGLE AND A PARALLELOGRAM LIE ON THE SAME BASE AND BETWEEN THE SAME PARALLELS, THEN THE AREA OF THE TRIANGLE IS EQUAL TO HALF THE AREA OF THE PARALLELOGRAM.
Given: triangle ABP and parallelogram ABCD on the same base AB and between the same parallels AB and PC.
To prove: ar(PAB)=1/2 * ar (ABCD)
Solution: Draw BQ//AP to get another parallelogram ABQP. Now parallelograms ABQP and ABCD are on the same base AB and between the same parallels AB and PC
Therefore ar (ABQP) = ar (ABCD) [By theorem 1]……(1)
But triangle PAB is congruent to triangle BQP (since diagnol PB divides parallelogram ABQP into two congruent triangles)
So, ar (PAB) = ar (BQP)…………(2)
Therefore ar (PAB) = ½ * ar (ABQP) ………….(3)
This gives ar (PAB) = ½ * ar (ABCD)…………..(FROM 1 AND 3)
