In Fig. 8, the ve

Given three coordinates A(4, 6) B(1, 5) and C(7, 2)

D divides AB in 1 : 3 and E divides AC in ratio 1 : 3

we know that the coordinates of the points P(x, y) which divides the line segment joining the points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂), internally in the ratio m : n are

So

As we know area of triangle formed by three points (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂) and (x₃, y₃)

and

Now,

Hence, Ratio is 208: 15
