\(In the figure shown, the ratio of $BD$ to $DC$ is $4$ to $3$. The area of $\triangle ABD$ is $24$ square centimeters. What is the area of $\triangle ADC$? \)

In the figure shown, the ratio of BD to DC is 4 to 3. The area of triangle ABD is 24 square centimeters.
What is the area of triangle ADC?

You most likely would have had an answer much more quickly if your question was presented in a readable fashion!
But here is your answer 
\(\frac{BD}{DC}=\frac{4}{3}\\ \text{so let BD=4x and DC=3x }\\ Area\;\;\triangle ABD=0.5*4x*h=24\\ \qquad \qquad 2xh=24\\ \qquad \qquad xh=12\\~\\ Area\;\;\triangle ABC=0.5*7x*h\\ Area\;\;\triangle ABC=3.5xh\\ Area\;\;\triangle ABC=3.5*12\\ Area\;\;\triangle ABC=42cm^2\\\)
NOW do the subtraction to get the final answer :)
