We have a parallelogram ABCD, with the point F dividing AD
in two equal parts.
Let us take the distance between the
sides BC and AD as d.
Now, BC*d = AD*d = 80
cm^2.
We have AF = AD/2
The
area of the triangle ABF is (1/2)*(AD/2)*d
= 80/4 = 20
cm^2
Similarly if we take the triangle DFC, the area is
(1/2)*(AD/2)*h
= 80/4 = 20
cm^2
The area of the triangle BFC is 80 - 20 - 20 = 40
cm^2.
Now we draw a line EX perpendicular to BC from the
point E.
If we consider angle
ECX,
sin ECX = EX / EC = d /
DC
we have DC = (EC /2)
So we
get EX = EC*d/DC
=>
EC*d*/(EC/2)
=> d*
2
The area of triangle BCE =
(1/2)*(BC)*EX
=>
(1/2)*BC*d*2
=>
BC*d
=> 80 cm^2
The
area of the triangle EFC = area of triangle BCE - area of triangle
BFC.
We have derived the area of the triangle BFC as 40, so
the area of EFC = 80 - 40 = 40
cm^2,
Therefore the area of the triangle BCE
is 80 cm^2, of triangle ABF is 20 cm^2 and of triangle EFC is 40
cm^2
