A parallelogram is divided by its diagonals into four triangles of equal area. 3. ABC is a triangle, and its base BC is bisected at D; if H be any point in the median AD, show that the triangles ABH, ACH are equal in area. 4. In AC, a diagonal of the parallelogram ABCD, any point H is taken, and HB, HD are drawn: show that the triangle BAH is equal to the triangle DAII. 5. If two triangles have two sides of one respectively equal to two sides of the other, and the included angles supplementary, show that the triangles are equal in area. 6. ABCD is a parallelogram, and E, H are the middle points of the sides AD, BC; if Z is any point in Ell, or EH produced, show that the triangle AZB is one quarter of the parallelogram ABCD. 7. If ABCD is a parallelogram, and E, II any points in DC and AD respectively, show that the triangles AEB, BHC are equal in area. 8. ABCD is a parallelogram, and P is any point within it: show that the sum of the triangles PAB, PCD is equal to half the parallelogram. 9. Find the ratio of a rectangle 18 yards by 14 yards to a square whose perimeter is 100 feet. 10. The medians AD, BE of the triangle ABC are produced to meet the straight line, drawn through C parallel to AB, in F, G respectively: prove that the triangle AGC is equal in area to the triangle BCF. AD= PF (105), etc. 11. ABCD is a parallelogram; through A any two straight lines AE, AF are drawn meeting BC in E and CD in P; through D, DG is drawn parallel to AE meeting AF in G. Show that the parallelogram having AE, AG as adjacent sides is equal to ABCD. Draw EH II to AG meeting DG produced in H; produce BC to meet DH in K; d7AH ...
