Question -

ABCD is a parallelogram whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at O. A line through O intersects AB at P and DC at Q. Prove that ar (Δ POA) = ar (Δ QOC).



Answer -

Given:
(1) Diagonals AC and BD of a parallelogram ABCD intersect at point O.
(2) A line through O intersects AB at P point.
(3) A line through O intersects DC at Q point.
To find: Area of (ΔPOA) = Area of (ΔQOC)
Proof:
 
From ÄPOA and ÄQOC we get that
 =  
OA = OC
 
So, by ASA congruence criterion, we have
  
So
Area (ÄPOA) = Area (ÄQOC)
Hence it is proved that
