The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the areas of quadrilateral AECF to quadrilateral ABCD in the rhombus ABCD, given the conditions about angles and segments. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Rhombus**: - In a rhombus, all sides are equal, and opposite angles are equal. We have angles ADC and BCD in the ratio of 1:2. Let's denote angle ADC as \( x \) and angle BCD as \( 2x \). 2. **Finding Angles**: - The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is \( 360^\circ \). Therefore, we can write: \[ x + 2x + x + 2x = 360^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ 6x = 360^\circ \implies x = 60^\circ \] - Thus, angle ADC = \( 60^\circ \) and angle BCD = \( 120^\circ \). 3. **Understanding the Segment Ratios**: - We are given that \( EF : BD = 1 : 3 \). If we let \( EF = k \), then \( BD = 3k \). 4. **Area of Rhombus ABCD**: - The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 \] where \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) are the lengths of the diagonals. Here, we can assume \( d_1 = EF = k \) and \( d_2 = BD = 3k \). \[ \text{Area of ABCD} = \frac{1}{2} \times k \times 3k = \frac{3k^2}{2} \] 5. **Area of Quadrilateral AECF**: - The area of quadrilateral AECF can also be expressed in terms of its diagonal \( EF \) and the other diagonal \( AC \). Since \( EF = k \) and \( AC \) can be assumed to be equal to \( BD \) (as diagonals bisect each other in a rhombus), we can use the same diagonal for calculation. - The area of AECF can be calculated as: \[ \text{Area of AECF} = \frac{1}{2} \times EF \times AC = \frac{1}{2} \times k \times k = \frac{k^2}{2} \] 6. **Finding the Ratio of Areas**: - Now we can find the ratio of the areas of quadrilateral AECF to quadrilateral ABCD: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Area of AECF}}{\text{Area of ABCD}} = \frac{\frac{k^2}{2}}{\frac{3k^2}{2}} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of areas of quadrilateral AECF to quadrilateral ABCD is \( \frac{1}{3} \).
