MCQ
In the given figure $\text{ABCD}$ and $\text{ABFE}$ are parallelograms such that $ar($ quadrilateral $\text{EABC})=17 \ cm^2$ and $\operatorname{ar}(\| gm \text{ABCD})=$
$25 \ cm^2$. Then, $\operatorname{ar}(\triangle \text{BCF} )=$ ?

  • A
    $4 \ cm^2$
  • B
    $4.8\ cm^2$
  • C
    $6\ cm^2$
  • $8\ cm^2$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$8\ cm^2$
From the given figure, we have ||gm $\text{ABCD}$ and $\|gm \text{ABFE}$ are lying on the same base and between the same parallels.
$\Rightarrow\ \text{ar}(\|\text{gm ABCD})=\text{ar}(\|\text{gm ABFE})=25\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{ar}(\triangle\text{BCF})=\text{ar}(\|\text{gm ABFE})-\text{ar(quadrilateral EABC)}$
$=25-17$
$=8\ \text{cm}^2$
