    1. This document discusses properties and relationships between the areas of triangles and parallelograms. Various geometric shapes are decomposed into triangles to explore these relationships. Proportional relationships between the areas of different triangles and parallelograms in a given figure are proven. 2. Specific proofs examine how the areas of triangles change based on the placement of points on sides or diagonals of parallelograms, trapezoids, and quadrilaterals. The document also explores when splitting figures by diagonals results in equal area triangles, making the overall shape a parallelogram. 3. Key results proven include that the areas of certain triangles are equal, halves, or proportions of others based on
