Question
$\text{ABCD}$ is a parallelogram. $G$ is a point on $AB$ such that $AG = 2GB$ and $E$ is point on $DC$ such that $CE = 2DE$ and $F$ is the point of $BC$ such that $BF = 2FC$. Prove that:
$i. \text{ar}(\text{ADEG})=\text{ar}(\text{GBCE})$
$ii. \text{ar}{(\triangle\text{EGB}})=\frac{1}{6}\text{ar}(\text{ABCD})$
$iii. \text{ar}(\triangle\text{EFC})=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{EBF})$
$iv. \text{ar}(\triangle\text{EBG})=\text{ar}(\triangle\text{EFC})$
$v.$ Find what portion of the parallelogram is the area of $\triangle\text{EFG}.$

Answer

$\text{ABCD}$ is a parallelogram $AG = 2GB, CE = 2DE, BF = 2FC$
To prove: $\text{ABCD}$ is $||gm$ ar$(EBG)$ = ar$(EFC)$
$AB \| CD$
$(AB = CD)$
$\text{BG}=\frac{1}{3}\text{AB},\ \text{DE}=\frac{1}{3}\text{CD}$
$\therefore\ \text{BG}=\text{DE}$
$\therefore\ \text{ADEH}$ is $\|gm$ ar$(\|gm \text{ADEH}) = ar(\|gm \text{BCIG}) ...(i)$
$ar(\triangle\text{HEG}) = ar(\triangle\text{EGI}) ..(ii)$
$(\because$ diagonal of $\|gm$ divided into $2$ equal areas$) (i)$ and $(ii)$
$\therefore\text{ar}(\|\text{gm}\text{ ADEG})=\text{ar}(\|\text{gm}\text{ GBCE})$
Height, $h$ of $\|gm$
$\text{ABCD}$ and $\triangle\text{EGB}$ is Its same Base of $\triangle\text{EGB}=\frac{1}{3}\text{AB}$
area of $\text{ABCD} = h$
$\times$
$AB$
$\text{ar}(\triangle\text{EGB})=\frac{1}{6}\times\text{h}\times\frac{1}{3}\text{AB}=\frac{1}{6}\text{h}\times\text{AB}$
$\text{ar}(\text{EGB})=\frac{1}{6}$Area$(\text{ABCD})$ let dislaver between $EH$ and $CB = x$
$\text{ar}(\text{EBF})=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{BF}\times\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{3}\text{BC}\times\text{x}=\frac{1}{3}\times\text{BC}\times\text{x}$
$\text{ar}(\text{EFC})=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{CF}\times\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{3}\text{BC}\times\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{ar}\times(\text{EBF})$
$\Rightarrow\text{ar}(\text{EFC})=\frac{1}{2}\times$ area of $\text{EBF}$
If $g =$ altitute from $AD$ to $BC$
$\text{ar}(\text{EFC})=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{3}\text{g}\times\frac{1}{3}\text{BC}=\frac{1}{9}\text{ar}(\text{ABCD})$
$\Rightarrow\text{ar}(\text{EFC})=\frac{2}{3}\text{ar}\text{ EBG}$
$\text{ar}(\text{EFG})=\text{ar}(\text{EGB})+\text{ar}(\text{FBF})+\text{ar}(\text{EFC})$
$=\frac{1}{6}\text{ABCD}+2\text{ar}(\text{EFC})+\text{ar}(\text{EFC})$
$=\frac{1}{6}\text{ABCD}+3\text{ar}(\text{EFC})$
$=\frac{1}{6}\text{ABCD}+\not3\times\frac{1}{\not9}\times\text{ABCD}$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{3}\Big)\text{ABCD}$
$=\Big(\frac{1+2}{6}\Big)\text{ABCD}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\text{ABCD}$
