In triangle , , and . Point is on , is on , and is on . Let , , and , where , , and are positive and satisfy and . The ratio of the area of triangle to the area of triangle can be written in the form , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find .
Solution
Solution 1
We let denote area; then the desired value is
Using the formula for the area of a triangle , we find that
and similarly that and . Thus, we wish to find We know that , and also that . Substituting, the answer is , and .
Solution 2
By the barycentric area formula, our desired ratio is equal to so the answer is
