Problem C. 1077. (April 2011)

C. 1077. E is the point dividing side AC of triangle ABC in a 3:1 ratio, such that EC is the shorter part. The line passing through E and the midpoint F of side BC intersects the line AB at D. What percentage is the area of triangle ADE of the triangle ABC?

Megoldás. A háromszög \(\displaystyle B\) csúcsából húzzunk párhuzamost az \(\displaystyle AC\) oldallal: ez \(\displaystyle G\)-ben metszi \(\displaystyle ED\)-t. \(\displaystyle FBG_\triangle \cong FCE_\triangle\), mert a párhuzamos oldalaik miatt hasonlóak és \(\displaystyle F\) felezőpont miatt \(\displaystyle CF=FB\) (azaz \(\displaystyle F\)-re középpontosan tükrösek), így \(\displaystyle BG=EC=AC/4=x\) (és \(\displaystyle AE=3x\)). \(\displaystyle ADE_\triangle \sim BDG_\triangle\) az egyállású szögeik miatt, így az oldalakra \(\displaystyle \frac{x}{3x}=\frac{GB}{EA}=\frac{BD}{AD}=\frac{y}{3y}\), azaz \(\displaystyle AB=2y\). A területek aránya pedig

\(\displaystyle \frac{t_{ADE}}{t_{ABC}}=\frac{{1 \over 2}AE\cdot AD\cdot \sin\alpha}{{1 \over 2}AC\cdot AB\cdot \sin\alpha}=\frac{9xy}{8xy}=\frac 98 .\)

Az \(\displaystyle ADE\) háromszög területe \(\displaystyle 112,5\%\)-a az \(\displaystyle ABC\) háromszög területének.
