P. 2
3. Join P 1Q 1, P 2Q 2, …………, P 5Q 5 as shown in fig. (ii).
4. Draw lines parallel to AC from P1, P2, P5 and also draw lines parallel to AB from the points
Q 1, Q 2, ……., Q 5 as shown in fig. (iii).
5. Thus ∆ABC is divided into 36 smaller triangles and all are similar to each other and of
equal area.
6. Construct a ∆PQR with PQ = of AB, PR = of AC and QR = of BC i.e. 3cm each on
another chart paper.
7. Mark D 1, D 2 and E 1, E 2 on sides PQ and PR respectively.
8. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
9. Thus ∆PQR is divided into 9 smaller similar triangles equal in area.
