ABCD is a trapezium with AD and BC parallel sides. E is a point on BC. The ratio of the area of ABCD to that of AED is
-
-
AD BC -
BE EC -
BE + BE AD + AD -
AD + BC AD
-
Correct Option: D
Using Rule 13, E
EF is perpendicular on side AD.
| ∴ Area of trapezium = | (AD + BC) × EF | |
| 2 |
| ∴ Area of ∆AED = | × AD × EF | |
| 2 |
| ∴ Required ratio = | (AD + BC) × EF | |
| 2 | ||
| × AD × EF | ||
| 2 | ||
| = | ||
| AD |
