In Δ ABC, points P, Q and R are the mid-points of sides AB, BC and CA respectively. If area of Δ ABC is 20 sq. units, find the area of Δ PQR.
Explanation:
In a triangle, the line joining the mid-points of any two sides is half the length of its third side. Hence, every side of ΔPQR would be half the sides of ΔABC. Hence, area of ΔPQR would be 14 the area of ΔABC
=14 × 20 = 5 sq.units
