Tiny But Not So Simple Geometry Problem : Areas From Quadrilateral Diagonals
Question.A convex quadrilateral is divided into four parts by its diagonals. Three of the areas are 2, 1, and 3 as shown in the diagram. What is the area of the fourth region denoted by x?
solution to above question:
Let’s start solve a more general problem of the four regions as s1, s2, s3, s4.
Label the quadrilateral with vertices A, B, C, D and write E for the point where the diagonals intersect. Now draw an altitude from A to BD, with length h1, and another altitude from C to BD, with length h2.
The areas of each region can be found using the formula for the area of a triangle as shown in figure.
where,
s1 = (DE)h1/2 s2 = (BE)h1/2 s3 = (BE)h2/2 s4 = (DE)h2/2
Thus we have:
s1(s3) = s2(s4)
The original problem had s1 = 2, s2 = 1, s3 = 3, and s4 = x. So we have:
(2)(3) = (1)x
6 = x
that's mean answer is x=6
thank you.
