Answer:
in triangle ABC , by Pythagoras theorem
AC^2 =AB^2+BC^2:
AC^2=AB^2+AB^2 (ABCD is a Square )
AC^2=2AB^2
Triangle ABC and triangle ACF are equilateral triangle ,
Therefore, these two triangles are equilateral
alright ,triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ACF
ar(ABC) /ar(ACF)= AB^2/AC^2
=AB^2/2 AB^2=1/2 ( AC^2=2AB^2)
Therefore,
ar(ABE)/ ar (ACF)= 1/2
HENCE PROVED
