The diagonals of parallelogram ABCD meet at point O. Prove that triangles BCO and DCO have equal areas.

Let us construct the perpendicular CH to the ВD diagonal.

CH is the total height for the triangles ВCO and DСO. Since AВСD is a parallelogram, its diagonals at the point of intersection O are divided in half, then OВ = OD.

Svso = ОВ * СН.

Sdso = OD * CH.

And since OB = OD, then Svso = Sdso, which was required to prove.
