In the parallelogram, point F is the midpoint of BC. Find the ratio of the area of triangle ABF

In the parallelogram, point F is the midpoint of BC. Find the ratio of the area of triangle ABF to the area of quadrilateral AFCD.

Let’s draw a diagonal AC, which divides the parallelogram into two equal triangles.

Sас = Sасд.

In the triangle ABC, the segment AF is the median, since, by condition, BF = CF, then Sawf = Sacf.

Then Sacd = 2 * Savf.

Safcd = Sacd + Sacf = Sacd + Savf = 3 * Savf.

Then Savf / Safcd = 1/3.

Answer: The area ratio is 1/3.
