N△abc, point p∈ ab is so that ap: bp=1: 3 and point m is the midpoint of segment cp. find the area of △abc if the area of △bmp is equal to 21m^2.

The area of ABC is 56 m².

Explanation:

It is given that in △ABC, point P∈ AB is so that AP:BP=1:3 and point M is the midpoint of segment CP.

Since point P divides the line AB in 1:3, therefore the area of triangle APC and BPC is also in ratio 1:3. To prove this draw a perpendicular h on AB from C.

Since the area of BPC is th part of total area, therefore area of APC is  th part of total area.

The point M is the midpoint of CP, therefore the area of BMP and BMC is equal by midpoint theorem.

Area of BPC is,

Area of APC is,

Area of ABC is,

Therefore, the area of ABC is 56 m².

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
