Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concepts and Definitions

  • Area of a plane figure is the region bounded by it
  • Equal figures mean figures equal in area
  • Congruent figures are always equal in area, but equal figures may not be congruent
2

Theorem 19: Parallelograms on Same Base and Between Same Parallels

  • Parallelograms on the same base and between same parallels are equal in area
  • This theorem applies to all types of parallelograms including rectangles
  • The proof uses congruent triangles (ASA criterion)
3

Theorem 20: Triangle Area Half of Parallelogram

  • Area of triangle is half the area of parallelogram on same base and between same parallels
  • Diagonal of parallelogram divides it into two equal triangles
  • This theorem connects triangle and parallelogram areas
4

Theorem 21: Triangles on Same Base and Between Same Parallels

  • Triangles on same base and between same parallels are equal in area
  • Proof involves constructing parallelograms and using previous theorems
  • This is the triangle version of Theorem 19
