Points X and Y lie on sides AB and AC respectively of triangle ABC. If AB=7, AC=10, AX=4 and AY=8, what is the ratio of the area of triangle AXY to the area of triangle ABC?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ABC] = 1/2(7 * 10)
[AXY] = 1/2(4 * 8)
[AXY] / [ABC] = 16 / 35
