As shown in the figure, in the parallelogram ABCD, e is the midpoint of CD, connecting AE and extending, intersecting the extension line of BC at point F. if the area of the parallelogram is known to be 18, can you calculate the area of △ ABF

As shown in the figure, in the parallelogram ABCD, e is the midpoint of CD, connecting AE and extending, intersecting the extension line of BC at point F. if the area of the parallelogram is known to be 18, can you calculate the area of △ ABF

can
Because △ ade is equal to △ FCE (ASA)
So CF = ad = BC
S△abf=1/2 * BF *h=1/2 *2*BC*h=BC*h = Sabcd = 18
S △ ABF = 1 / 2 sabcd = 9 after EF position exchange
