The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the area of triangle ABC to the area of triangle AOC given the condition \(2\vec{OA} + 3\vec{OB} + 4\vec{OC} = 0\). ### Step 1: Express the position vectors Let the position vectors of points A, B, C, and O be represented as \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), \(\vec{C}\), and \(\vec{O}\) respectively. The given equation can be rewritten as: \[ 2\vec{O} = -3\vec{B} - 4\vec{C} \] From this, we can express \(\vec{O}\) in terms of \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\). ### Step 2: Find the area of triangle AOC The area of triangle AOC can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area}_{AOC} = \frac{1}{2} |\vec{OA} \times \vec{OC}| \] Here, \(\vec{OA} = \vec{A} - \vec{O}\) and \(\vec{OC} = \vec{C} - \vec{O}\). ### Step 3: Find the area of triangle ABC The area of triangle ABC can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area}_{ABC} = \frac{1}{2} |\vec{AB} \times \vec{AC}| \] Where \(\vec{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A}\) and \(\vec{AC} = \vec{C} - \vec{A}\). ### Step 4: Use the given condition From the given condition \(2\vec{OA} + 3\vec{OB} + 4\vec{OC} = 0\), we can find the coefficients that relate the areas of the triangles. The coefficients 2, 3, and 4 correspond to the areas of triangles AOC, BOC, and AOB respectively. ### Step 5: Calculate the ratio of areas The ratio of the area of triangle ABC to the area of triangle AOC can be derived from the coefficients: \[ \text{Area}_{ABC} = \text{Area}_{AOB} + \text{Area}_{AOC} + \text{Area}_{BOC} \] Given that the areas are proportional to the coefficients, we can express: \[ \text{Area}_{AOB} : \text{Area}_{AOC} : \text{Area}_{BOC} = 2 : 4 : 3 \] Thus, the area of triangle AOC is \(4k\) and the area of triangle ABC is \(2k + 4k + 3k = 9k\). ### Step 6: Final Ratio The ratio of the area of triangle ABC to the area of triangle AOC is: \[ \frac{\text{Area}_{ABC}}{\text{Area}_{AOC}} = \frac{9k}{4k} = \frac{9}{4} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the ratio of the area of triangle ABC to the area of triangle AOC is: \[ \boxed{\frac{9}{4}} \]
