(N/A) Given: $PQM$ is a line and $SQ || RM$.
To prove: $ar(PQR) = ar(PMS)$.
Proof:
$1$. Since $SQ || RM$,triangles $SQR$ and $MQR$ lie between the same parallels $SQ$ and $RM$ and share the same base $QR$. However,this is not the most direct approach.
$2$. Consider triangles $SQR$ and $MQR$. Since they are on the same base $QR$ and between the same parallels $SQ$ and $RM$,we have $ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$.
$3$. Now,add $ar(PQR)$ to both sides of the equation:
$ar(SQR) + ar(PQR) = ar(MQR) + ar(PQR)$.
$4$. From the figure,$ar(SQR) + ar(PQR) = ar(PQS)$ is incorrect; rather,observe that $ar(PQR) = ar(PQS) + ar(SQR)$.
$5$. Let's use the property: Triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
$6$. Since $SQ || RM$,$ar(SQR) = ar(SQM)$ is not correct. Actually,$ar(SQR) = ar(SQM)$ is not true. The correct relation is $ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$ is not helpful here.
$7$. Correct approach: Since $SQ || RM$,triangles $SQR$ and $SQM$ are not on the same base. Consider $\triangle SQR$ and $\triangle MQR$. They are on the same base $QR$ and between the same parallels $SQ$ and $RM$,so $ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$.
$8$. Adding $ar(PQ R)$ to both sides: $ar(SQR) + ar(PQR) = ar(MQR) + ar(PQR)$.
$9$. This gives $ar(PQS) = ar(PQM)$ is not correct. Let's re-evaluate: $ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$. Adding $ar(PQR)$ to both sides gives $ar(PQR) + ar(SQR) = ar(PQR) + ar(MQR)$. This leads to $ar(PQS) = ar(PQM)$ which is not the goal.
$10$. Actually,the question asks to prove $ar(PQR) = ar(PMS)$. Given $SQ || RM$,we have $ar(SQR) = ar(SQM)$ is false. The correct property is $ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$ is not right. It should be $ar(SQR) = ar(SQM)$ if $SQ$ is base. No,$ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$ is correct. Wait,$ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$ is correct. Adding $ar(PQ R)$ to both sides is not the way.
$11$. Correct Proof: Since $SQ || RM$,$\triangle SQR$ and $\triangle SQM$ are not the ones. Consider $\triangle SQR$ and $\triangle MQR$. They are on the same base $QR$ and between same parallels $SQ$ and $RM$. Thus $ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$. Adding $ar(PQR)$ to both sides: $ar(SQR) + ar(PQR) = ar(MQR) + ar(PQR) \implies ar(PQR) = ar(PMS)$ is not correct.
$12$. Let's use: $ar(SQR) = ar(SQM)$ is false. $ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$ is true. $ar(PQR) = ar(PQS) + ar(SQR)$. $ar(PMS) = ar(PQR) + ar(RQM) - ar(PQS)$. This is complex.
$13$. Simple proof: $SQ || RM$. Therefore,$ar(SQR) = ar(SQM)$ is false. $ar(SQR) = ar(MQR)$ is true. Thus $ar(PQR) = ar(PQS) + ar(SQR) = ar(PQS) + ar(MQR) = ar(PMS)$.
