Given: ABC DEF
AM is a median in
ABC and DN is the corresponding median in DEF
To prove:
areaABCareaDEF=AM2DN2
Proof: DBC DEF
A = D, B = E, C = F and

ABDE=BCEF=ACDF
Also, areaABCareaDEF=AB2DE2=BC2EF2=AC2DF2........(i)[area theorem]
Now,ABDE=BCEF=12BC12EF=BMEN..............(ii)
In ABM and DEN
B= E and ABDE=BMEN [From (ii)]
ABM DEN [SAS similarity]
areaABMareaDEN=AB2DE2=AM2DN2=BM2EN2............(iii)
From (i) and (iii), we get
areaABCareaDEF=AM2DN2
