It is given that ABCD is a parallelogram. We know that opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

⊥ AD = BC ... (1)

Similarly, for parallelograms DCEF and ABFE, it can be proved that

DE = CF ... (2)

And, EA = FB ... (3)

In ΔADE and ΔBCF,

AD = BC [Using equation (1)]

DE = CF [Using equation (2)]

EA = FB [Using equation (3)]

⊥ ΔADE ⊥ BCF (SSS congruence rule)

⊥ Area (ΔADE) = Area (ΔBCF)
