Question

geometry problem

Answer 1

In triangle ABC, D, E and F are points on BC, AC and AB respectively such that BD: DC = 1:1, CE: EA = 1:2 and AF: FB = 1:3. If the area of triangle ABC = 48 cm2, find the area of triangle DEF.

Answer 2

I'm not sure that your diagram is correct

You have used 'x' for BD, DC correctly, but I don't think you can use the 'same x' for AF and FB

The diagram is correct but the nomenclature is wrong I think.

Answer 3

Yeah think so but its in ratio it shoudnt matter much
