The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of the areas of triangles AOC and BDOF in triangle ABC where angle B = 90°, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw Triangle ABC**: - Begin by sketching triangle ABC with angle B as a right angle. Label the vertices as A, B, and C, where B is at the right angle. 2. **Identify the Medians**: - Draw the median AD from vertex A to the midpoint D of side BC. - Draw the median CF from vertex C to the midpoint F of side AB. - These medians intersect at point O. 3. **Understanding the Properties of Medians**: - Recall that a median divides a triangle into two triangles of equal area. Therefore, median AD divides triangle ABC into two triangles: ABD and ACD, which have equal areas. 4. **Determine Areas of Triangles**: - Since triangle ABC is divided into two equal areas by median AD, we can denote the area of triangle ABD as \( A \) and the area of triangle ACD as \( A \). Thus, the total area of triangle ABC is \( 2A \). 5. **Area of Triangle AOC**: - The median CF divides triangle ACD into two smaller triangles: AOC and COF. Since CF is a median, the areas of triangles AOC and COF are equal. Therefore, the area of triangle AOC is \( \frac{A}{2} \). 6. **Area of Quadrilateral BDOF**: - The area of quadrilateral BDOF can be calculated as the area of triangle ABC minus the area of triangle AOC. - The area of triangle ABC is \( 2A \) and the area of triangle AOC is \( \frac{A}{2} \). Thus, the area of quadrilateral BDOF is: \[ \text{Area of BDOF} = \text{Area of ABC} - \text{Area of AOC} = 2A - \frac{A}{2} = \frac{4A}{2} - \frac{A}{2} = \frac{3A}{2} \] 7. **Finding the Ratio of Areas**: - Now, we can find the ratio of the area of triangle AOC to the area of quadrilateral BDOF: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Area of AOC}}{\text{Area of BDOF}} = \frac{\frac{A}{2}}{\frac{3A}{2}} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the area of triangle AOC to the area of quadrilateral BDOF is \( 1:3 \).
