The three medians AX, BY and CZ of $$\triangle$$ABC intersect at point L. If the area of $$\triangle$$ABC is 30 $$cm^2$$, then the area of the quadrilateral BXLZ is:
Given, Area of $$\triangle$$ABC = 30 $$cm^2$$
The three medians AX, BY and CZ of $$\triangle$$ABC intersect at point L as shown in the above figure
The area of six triangles in the above figure are equal and area is equal to one-sixth of the area of triangle ABC.
Area of $$\triangle$$BLX = $$\frac{1}{6}\times$$Area of $$\triangle$$ABC
= $$\frac{1}{6}\times$$30
= 5 $$cm^2$$
Similarly, Area of $$\triangle$$BLZ = 5 $$cm^2$$
$$\therefore\ $$Area of quadrilateral =Â Area of $$\triangle$$BLX +Â Area of $$\triangle$$BLZ = 5 + 5 = 10Â $$cm^2$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
