Consider parallelogram ABCD with points S and T chosen such that CS:SD = BT:TC = 2, as in the picture.
Let and overrightarrow{AB} = v and overrightarrow{AD} = w. Then there exist constants r, s, t, u such that overrightarrow{AT} = r v + s w, overrightarrow{BS} = t v + u w.
Also, what is \(\frac{AT^2+BS^2}{AC^2+BD^2}\)equal to?

Consider parallelogram ABCD with points S and T chosen such that \(CS:SD = BT:TC = 2:1\), as in the picture.
Let \( \vec{AB} = v\) and \(\vec{AD} = w\).

Then there exist constants r, s, t, u such that
\(\vec{AT} = r v + s w\),
\(\vec{BS} = t v + u w\).
\(\text{Let $\vec{AB} = \vec{DC}$ } \\ \text{Let $\vec{AD} = \vec{BC}$ }\)
\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \vec{AT} &=& v +\dfrac{2}{3}w \quad | \quad \vec{AT} = r v + s w \\ \mathbf{r} &=& \mathbf{1} \\ \mathbf{s} &=& \mathbf{\dfrac{2}{3}} \\\\ \vec{BS} &=& w -\dfrac{2}{3}v \quad | \quad \vec{BS} = t v + u w \\ \mathbf{t} &=& \mathbf{-\dfrac{2}{3}} \\ \mathbf{u} &=& \mathbf{1} \\ \hline \end{array}\)
