Question 23

If in $$\triangle ABC$$, D and are the points on AB and BC respectively such that DE $$\parallel$$ BC, and AD : AB = 3: 8, then (area of $$\triangle BDE$$) : ( area of quadrilateral DECA) = ?

Solution

$$\triangle$$ BDE and $$\triangle$$ ABC are similar.
BD = AB - AD = 8 - 3 = 5
$$\frac{area of BDE}{area of ABC} = (\frac{BD}{AB})^2$$
$$\frac{area of ADE}{area of ABC} = (\frac{5}{8})^2 = \frac{25}{64}$$
Area of quadrilateral DECA = area of ABC - area of BDE = 64 - 25 = 39
(area of $$\triangle BDE$$) : ( area of quadrilateral DECA) = 25 : 3
