# Why are we caring so much about the existence of such a tiny Point P?

Consider a quadrilateral $$ABCD$$ . Find the necessary and sufficient condition with proof so that there exists a point $$P$$ in the interior of $$ABCD$$ such that $$A(PAB)=A(PBC)= A(PCD)= A(PDA)$$.

$$\text{A( ) represents Area}$$

Nice solutions are always welcome!

Such a point $$P$$ exists if and only if one diagonal bisects the area of the quadrilateral.

Can you please provide the proof sir ?

- 2 years, 10 months ago

Sir, actually this problem is from the homework of our class, and our sir has a different condition- P exists iff one diagonal bisects the other.

- 2 years, 10 months ago

In a quadrilateral, the conditions "one diagonal bisects the area" and "one diagonal bisects the other diagonal" are equivalent.

Oh yes, thank you for pointing that out to me

- 2 years, 10 months ago

Yeah , thats why I posted this as a note.

- 2 years, 10 months ago

Did you get a proof

- 2 years, 10 months ago

I got the proof for the condition- P exists iff one diagonal bisects the other.I did not get proof for the condition that Jon Hausmann has posted.

- 2 years, 10 months ago

yes,same

- 2 years, 10 months ago

Sir, thanks for your answer.But it may be more beneficial for us if you post a nice proof.

- 2 years, 10 months ago

Now that you know the right condition, you should try proving it.
