 Problem 125. Area of Triangle, Star, Trisection of sides. Level: High School, SAT Prep, College

In the figure below, given a triangle ABC of area S. Let be S1 the area of the central star determined by the triangles DFH and EGM. D, E, F, G, H, and M are determined by trisection of each side of the triangle ABC and connecting the corresponding points A', A", B', B", C', and C" with the opposite vertex. Prove that Formula to prove. Post a comment or solution.

FACTS AND HINTS:

Geometry problem solving is one of the most challenging skills for students to learn. When a problem requires auxiliary construction, the difficulty of the problem increases drastically, perhaps because deciding which construction to make is an ill-structured problem. By “construction,” we mean adding geometric figures (points, lines, planes) to a problem figure that wasn’t mentioned as "given."
