Question 29
_J6DvvuX.png)
In the triangle ABC, MN is parallel to AB. Area of trapezium ABNM is twice the area of triangle CMN. What is ratio of CM : AM ?
Solution
We have MN || ABÂ
Now let area of CMN be AÂ
so area of ABMN will be 2AÂ
Now Area of triangle ABC will be 3A
Now since MN || ABÂ
so we can say CMN is similar to CAB
So we can say
(CM/CA)^2 = Area of CMN : Area of CAB
so we can say CM :CA =$$1:\sqrt{\ 3}$$
Now therefore CM :AM = $$1:\sqrt{\ 3}-1\ =\ \sqrt{\ 3}+1:2$$
