This is the maths Q that i don't know...

In the figure, ABCD is a rectangle of dimensions 6 cm *8 cm. E and F are the mid-pts of BC and AD respectively. BD intersects EF at G.

1, Prove that ABGF is a right- angled trapezium.

2. Find the area of trapezium.ABGF.

Pls help.. THX..

*****************************************Solution to Q1******************************
Since ABCD is a rectangle, angle A must be 90 degree.

Also, F and E are mid points on AD and BC respectively and AD = BC (by properties of rectangle). So, AF = BE and angle AFE = 90 degree.

As angle A = angle B = 90 degree (from rectangular property) and AF = BE (proved above), EF // AB. Hence, GF // AB.

Combining the three results above, ABGF is a right-angled trapezium.
***************************************************************************************************************************************Solution to Q2********************************

Note that AF = 8/2 = 4 cm because F is the mid point of AD. Using the mid-point theorem, FG = 6/2 = 3 cm. Thus, the area of trapezium ABGF = (1/2)*(upperbase + lower base )*(height) = (1/2)*(FG+AB)*(AF) = (1/2)*(3+6)*(4) = 18 cm2.

Hope this helps^^
