Problem
In we have , , and . Points and are on and respectively, with and . What is the ratio of the area of triangle to the area of the quadrilateral ?
Solution 1(no trig)
We have that
But , so
Solution 2(no trig)
We can let . Since , . So, . This means that . Thus,
-Conantwiz2023
Solution 3(trig)
Using this formula:
Since the area of is equal to the area of minus the area of ,
.
Therefore, the desired ratio is
Note: was not used in this problem
Solution 4
Let be on such that then we have Since ,
