Given,

the area of quadrilateral MBCN = 130 cm2.

AN : NC = 4 : 5

Hence, AC = 4 + 5 = 9

In ΔABC, If MN∥BC, then

Area of ΔAMN/area of ΔABC = (AN/AC)2

Area of ΔAMN/area of ΔABC = (4/9)2 = 16/81

Area of ΔAMN = 16 unit and area of ΔABC = 81 unit

Now, Area of quadrilateral MBCN = area of ΔABC - area of ΔAMN

⇒ 81 - 16 unit = 130 cm2

⇒ 65 unit = 130 cm2

⇒ 1 unit = 130/65 = 2 cm2

∴ Area of ΔAMN = 16 × 2 = 32 cm2
