Shiva's Twin Brother's Triangle

Geometry Level 4

In the diagram, points X , Y , Z X, Y, Z are on the sides of triangle U V W UVW , as shown. Line segments U Y , V Z , W X UY, VZ, WX intersect at point P P . Point Y Y is on V W VW such that V Y : Y W = 4 : 3 VY : YW = 4 : 3 . If triangle P Y W PYW has an area of 30 30 and triangle P Z W PZW has an area of 35 35 , determine the area of triangle U X P UXP .


The answer is 84.
