Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

  BRAT is a trapezoid

  M is the mid-point of side RB

Formula used:

Areas of two congruent triangles are equal.

Proof:

As BRAT is a trapezoid, ARTB

  ARTC...(TBC) (i)

In ΔARMandMBC,

  AMR=CMB … (Vertically opposite angles)

  ARM=CBM … (Alternate angles)

  RM=BM … (Given)

  ΔARMΔCBM … (By ASA congruency criterion)

As we know that the areas of two congruent triangles are equal

  ar(ΔARM)=ar(ΔCBM) … (ii)

Now, ar(ΔCAT)=ar(ΔCBM)+ar(BMAT)

  ar(ΔCAT)=ar(ΔARM)+ar(BMAT) … From (ii)

  ar(ΔCAT)=ar(BRAT)

Hence, area of ΔCAT is equal to the area of BRAT.
