Given: the medians divide a triangle into 6 smaller triangles.
Prove: The area of all the triangles are the same
Median of a triangle divides the triangle into two triangles with equal area.
For consider and median . We got two triangles here and . Now both the triangles have bases namely and respectively and they're of equal length. Also height of both the triangles is equal. .
Now, are medians of triangles respectively.
So
Also has medians .
Hence, the area of all the 6 triangles is the same.
