- [ 4 ] Let ABC be a triangle with area 1. Let points D and E lie on AB and AC , respectively, suchthat DE is parallel to BC and DE/BC = 1 / 3. If F is the reflection of A across DE , find the area oftriangle F BC .
Answer:1
Let AF intersect BC at H . Since DE/BC = 1 / 3 and F and A are equidistant from DE , we have 3
2 1
AF = AH and F H = AH − AF = AH . Furthermore, since AF is perpendicular to DE , we have
3 3
AH and F H are the altitudes of triangles ABC and F BC respectively. Therefore the area of triangle
