The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the areas of two triangles, \( \Delta_1 \) and \( \Delta_2 \), formed by specific points related to a triangle \( ABC \). ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Triangles**: - Let \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) be the vertices of triangle \( ABC \). - The centroid \( G \) of triangle \( ABC \) divides the triangle into three smaller triangles of equal area. - The midpoints of sides \( AB \), \( BC \), and \( CA \) are denoted as \( M_{AB} \), \( M_{BC} \), and \( M_{CA} \) respectively. 2. **Area of Triangle Formed by Centroid and Two Vertices**: - The area \( \Delta_1 \) is the area of triangle \( ABG \) (or any triangle formed by the centroid and two vertices). - Since the centroid divides the triangle into three equal areas, we have: \[ \Delta_1 = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Area of } \triangle ABC = \frac{1}{3} \Delta \] where \( \Delta \) is the area of triangle \( ABC \). 3. **Area of Triangle Formed by Midpoints**: - The area \( \Delta_2 \) is the area of triangle \( M_{AB}M_{BC}M_{CA} \). - The triangle formed by the midpoints of the sides of triangle \( ABC \) has an area that is \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the area of triangle \( ABC \): \[ \Delta_2 = \frac{1}{4} \Delta \] 4. **Finding the Ratio \( \Delta_1 : \Delta_2 \)**: - Now, we can find the ratio of \( \Delta_1 \) to \( \Delta_2 \): \[ \frac{\Delta_1}{\Delta_2} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \Delta}{\frac{1}{4} \Delta} \] - The \( \Delta \) cancels out: \[ \frac{\Delta_1}{\Delta_2} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{4}{3} \] 5. **Final Ratio**: - Thus, the ratio \( \Delta_1 : \Delta_2 \) is: \[ \Delta_1 : \Delta_2 = 4 : 3 \] ### Conclusion The ratio \( \Delta_1 : \Delta_2 \) is \( 4 : 3 \).
