Can you do it?

Geometry Level 3

Let A B C \triangle ABC such that D D is middle point of B C BC , E E is middle point of A D AD , F F is middle point of B E BE and G G is middle point of C F CF . If A B C \triangle ABC area is 1 1 find E F G \triangle EFG area.


The answer is 0.125.

A B D area + A D C area = 1 \triangle ABD \text{area}+\triangle ADC \text{area}=1

As A B D \triangle ABD and A D C \triangle ADC have same height and same base.

A B D area = A D C area = 1 2 \triangle ABD \text{area}=\triangle ADC \text{area}=\frac{1}{2}

As A B E \triangle ABE and B E D \triangle BED have same height and same base.

A B E area = B E D area = 1 4 \triangle ABE \text{area}=\triangle BED \text{area}=\frac{1}{4}

As B E D \triangle BED and D E C \triangle DEC have same height and same base.

B E D area = D E C area = 1 4 \triangle BED \text{area}=\triangle DEC \text{area}=\frac{1}{4}

As B C F \triangle BCF and F C E \triangle FCE have same height and same base.

B C F area = F C E area = 1 4 \triangle BCF \text{area}=\triangle FCE \text{area}=\frac{1}{4}

As E F G \triangle EFG and E G C \triangle EGC have same height and same base.

E F G area = E G C area = 1 8 \triangle EFG \text{area}=\triangle EGC \text{area}=\frac{1}{8}

E F G area = 1 8 = 0.125 \boxed{\triangle EFG\text{area}=\frac{1}{8}=0.125}
