The givens and the answer choices don't correspond. My solution gives A = 600, but the answer is supposed to be 1/3.

The givens and the answer choices don't correspond. My solution gives A = 600, but the answer is supposed to be 1/3. I think AF should be much less than 20, but I can't find a copy of the actual question. Can anybody clarify? --I_like_pie 22:30, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
The answer choices are correct, but the problem isn't. The problem should read:
Let 
be a diameter of a circle and let 
be a point on with 
. Let 
and 
be points on the circle such that 
and 
is a second diameter. What is the ratio of the area of 
to the area of 
?
