The three medians RQ, SP and TN of ΔRST intersect at point O. If the area of ΔRST is 48 cm2, then the area of the quadrilateral SQON is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
We have,
Area of ΔRST = 48 cm2
We know that,
Area of ΔSQO = \(\frac{1}{6}\) × Area of ΔRST
Area of ΔSQO = \(\frac{1}{6}\) × 48 = 8 cm2
Area of SQON = 2 × Area of ΔSQO = 2 × 8 = 16 cm2
