Problem
Equilateral triangle 
has side length 
. Point 
lies on the same side of line 
as 
such that 
. The line 
through parallel to line intersects sides 
and 
at points 
and 
, respectively. Point 
lies on such that is between and , 
is isosceles, and the ratio of the area of to the area of 
is 
. Find 
.
