Area of Parallelogram and Its Triangles

1. The worksheet contains 20 problems involving finding areas of triangles, parallelograms, and other shapes using properties such as midpoints, medians, and parallel lines. 2. The problems require applying formulas and theorems about equal areas, such as a median dividing a triangle into two equal parts, or the area of a parallelogram being half the area of the rectangle formed by its diagonals. 3. Solving the problems demonstrates understanding of key geometric concepts like proportional division of areas.
