In parallelogram PQRS, QR is produced to M such that |QR| = |RM|. What fraction of the area of PQMS is the area of PRMS?
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
توضیح
There are 3 triangles: \(\bigtriangleup\)MRS, \(\bigtriangleup\) and \(\bigtriangleup\) PRQ
Area PRMS has 2 triangles: \(\bigtriangleup\) MRS and \(\bigtriangleup\) RSP
the fraction = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Area PRMS has 2 triangles: \(\bigtriangleup\) MRS and \(\bigtriangleup\) RSP
the fraction = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
