Question

the line segment xy is parallel to side AC of triangle ABC and it divides the triangle into two parts of the equal areas find the ratio a X upon A B

Answer 1

AX = BX

AX/ BX = 1

ADDING 1
$\frac{ax}{bx} + 1 \: is \: equal \: to \: 1 + 1$
$\frac{ax}{bx} + \frac{bx}{bx} is \: equal \: to \: 2$

AX + BX = AB
therefore, AX:AB = 1:2
