Find the area of the traingle formed by joining the middle points of the sides of the traingle whose vertices are (0, -1), (2, 1) and (0, 3)
Let the vertices of triangle be A(0,-1) B(2,1) C(0,3)
Let the mid-point of
AB be P
BC be Q
AC be R
Now, joining the Points P,Q,R
We get ΔPQR
We need to find area of ΔABC and area of ΔPQR
Now, finding area of ΔABC
Area of ΔABC = `1/2` [`"x"_1("y"_2-"y"_3) + "x"_2("y"_3-"y"_1) + "x"_3("y"_1-"y"_2)`]
Here,
`"x"_1` = 1 , `"y"_1` = 0
`"x"_2` = 1 , `"y"_2` = 2
Let the mid-point of
AB be P
BC be Q
AC be R
Now, joining the Points P,Q,R
We get ΔPQR
We need to find area of ΔABC and area of ΔPQR
Now, finding area of ΔABC
Area of ΔABC = `1/2` [`"x"_1("y"_2-"y"_3) + "x"_2("y"_3-"y"_1) + "x"_3("y"_1-"y"_2)`]
Here,
`"x"_1` = 0 , `"y"_1` = -1
`"x"_2` = 2 , `"y"_2` = 1
`"x"_3` = 0 , `"y"_3` = 3
`"x"_2` = 2 , `"y"_2` = 1
`"x"_3` = 0 , `"y"_3` = 3
Putting values
Area of Traingle = `1/2` [`"x"_1("y"_2-"y"_3) + "x"_2("y"_3-"y"_1) + "x"_3("y"_1-"y"_2)`]
Area of ΔABC = `1/2` [0 (1 - 3) + 2 (3 - (-1) + 0 ( -1-1)]
= `1/2` [0 + 2(3 + 1) + 0]
= `1/2` [0 + 2(4) + 0]
= `1/2` `\times` 8
= 4
Finding area of triangle PQR
First we have to find coordinates of P, Q, R
Since P is the mid-point of AB
Coordinates of P
= `(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})`
= `(\frac{0 + 2}{2},\frac{-1+1}{2})`
= `(\frac{ 2}{2},\frac{0}{2})`
= (1, 0)
Similarly, Q is the mid -point of BC
Coordinates of Q
= `(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})`
= `(\frac{2 + 0}{2},\frac{1+3}{2})`
= `(\frac{ 2}{2},\frac{4}{2})`
= (1, 2)
Similarly, R is the mid -point of AC
Coordinates of R
= `(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})`
= `(\frac{0 + 0}{2},\frac{-1+3}{2})`
= `(\frac{ 0}{2},\frac{2}{2})`
= (0, 1)
So, the coordinates are P (1, 0), Q (1, 2), R (0, 1)
Now, we need to find out the area of
∆PQR Area of triangle
PQR =`1/2` [`"x"_1("y"_2-"y"_3) + "x"_2("y"_3-"y"_1) + "x"_3("y"_1-"y"_2)`]
Here
∆PQR Area of triangle
PQR =`1/2` [`"x"_1("y"_2-"y"_3) + "x"_2("y"_3-"y"_1) + "x"_3("y"_1-"y"_2)`]
Here
`"x"_2` = 1 , `"y"_2` = 2
`"x"_3` = 0 , `"y"_3` = 1
Putting values Area of triangle PQR
= `1/2` [1(2 − 1) + 1(1 − 0) + 0(0 − 2)]
= `1/2` [1(1) + 1(1) + 0]
= `1/2` [1 + 1]
= `1/2` `\times` 2 = 1 square unit
Hence, the required ratio
Putting values Area of triangle PQR
= `1/2` [1(2 − 1) + 1(1 − 0) + 0(0 − 2)]
= `1/2` [1(1) + 1(1) + 0]
= `1/2` [1 + 1]
= `1/2` `\times` 2 = 1 square unit
Hence, the required ratio
= `"𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 ∆𝑃𝑄𝑅"/"𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶"`
= `1/4`
∴ Required Ratio is 1 : 4
