Problem
In rectangle 
, 
and points 
and 
lie on 
so that 
and 
trisect 
as shown. What is the ratio of the area of 
to the area of rectangle ?
[asy] draw((0, 0)--(0, 1)--(2, 1)--(2, 0)--cycle); draw((0, 0)--(sqrt(3)/3, 1)); draw((0, 0)--(sqrt(3), 1)); label("A", (0, 1), N); label("B", (2, 1), N); label("C", (2, 0), S); label("D", (0, 0), S); label("E", (sqrt(3)/3, 1), N); label("F", (sqrt(3), 1), N); [/asy]
$\textbf{(A)}\ \ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{\sqrt{6}}{8}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{16}\qquad\textbf{(D)}}\ \frac{1}{3}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
