Guess the question is incomplete.
The solution is as per this question:
Question:AD is an altitude of an equilateral triangle ABC. On AD as a base,another equilateral triangle ADE is constructed.Prove that area(ADE):area(ABC)=3:4.
<hr />We have,
ΔABC is an equilateral triangle
Then, AB = BC = AC
Let, AB = BC = AC = 2x
Since, AD ⊥ BC then BD = DC = x
In ΔADB, by Pythagoras theorem
By area of similar triangle theorem
