1. Figures on the same Base and Between the same Parallels
2. Parallelograms on the same Base and between the same Parallels
3. Triangles on the same Base and between the same Parallels

 Area of a figure is a number (in square unit) associated with the part of the plane enclosed by that figure.
· Two congruent figures have equal areas but the converse is not true.
· Area of a parallelogram = (base X height )
 Area of a triangle = 1/2 ´base ´ height
 Area of a trapezium = 1/2 (sum of parallel sides) dis tan ce between them
 Area of rhombus = 1/2 product of diagonals
 Parallelogram on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
 A parallelogram and a rectangle on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
 Triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
 If a triangle and parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then.
(area of the parallelogram) = 1/2 Area of triangle 
 A diagonal of parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
In parallelogram ABCD, we have Area of ΔABD = area of ΔACD

· The diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal areas therefore ar(ΔAOB)=ar(ΔCOD)=ar(ΔAOD)=ar(ΔBOC)

 If a parallelogram and a triangle are on the same base and between the same parallel, then area of the triangle is equal to one half area of the parallelogram.
 A median AD of a ΔABC divides it into two triangles of equal areas. Therefore ar(ΔABD)=ar(ΔCD)
 If the medians of a intersect at G, then ar(ΔAGB)=ar(AGC)=ar(ΔBGC)=1/3(ΔABC)
