Suppose that in a trapezoid ABCD, as in Figure 12.74 , AB and CD are parallel.
Figure 12.74 Trapezoid and the triangles formed by its diagonals.
Let E be the point where the diagonals AC and BD meet. Explain why triangles AED and BEC must have the same area. (Do this without measuring actual lengths or areas.)
