Point D is the midpoint of median AM of triangle ABC. Point E is the midpoint of AB, and point T is the intersection of BD and ME. Find the area of triangle BEC if [ABC] = 14.

Height of ABC  =  AM

Base of ABC = BC

 

[ABC]=(1/2)(BC)(AM)=14(BC)(AM)=28

Height of BEC   = (1/2)AM

Base of BEC =  BC

 

[BEC]=(1/2)(BC)(1/2)AM=(1/4)(BC)(AM)=(1/4)(28)=7

 

So our final answer is 7. 

 

Thanks! :)
