Problem: Medians AD and CE of triangle ABC intersect in M. The midpoint of AE is N. Let the area of triangle MNE=k times the area of triangle ABC. Then k equals:
Answer Choices:
A. 61β
B. 81β
C. 91β
D. 121β
E. 161β
Solution:
Area (β³MNE)=21β Area ( β³ MAE) =21ββ
31β Area (β³ CAE )=21ββ
31ββ
21β Area ( β³ ABC) \therefore k=\dfrac{1}
