Given that, area = 40 sq cm, base = 28 cm and height = perpendicular = ?Area = (base x perpendicular) / 2 ? 40 = (28 x perpendicular) / 2 ? perpendicular = 40/14 = 20/7 = 26/7 cm
Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .So area of ? DEF = 36/ 4 = 9 m2
