) In the picture below, the top vertex of a triangle is joined to themidpoint of the opposite side and then the point dividing this line in theratio 2:1 is joined to the other two vertices:Prove that the areas of all three triangles in the picture on the right areequal to a third of the area of the whole triangle.

Answer:
let area of ∆ ABC = x
'D' is the midpoint of BC
BD = CD
So, Area of ∆ ABD = Area of ∆ ADC
i.e x/2
'O' divides AD in the ratio 2:1
ratio of areas of ∆AOB, ∆ BOD = 2:1
Sum of ratio = 2+1= 3
Are of ∆ AOB = x/2× 2/3 = x/3
Area of ∆ BOD = x/2× 1/3 = x/6
so, area of ∆ BOC = x/6+x/6 = 2x/6 = x/3
i.e all three triangles have same area
x/3 indicates that areas of all three triangles are equal to a third of area of whole triangle...
