For a quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in a circle of radius 1, let $\mathrm { AB } : \mathrm { AD } = 1 : 2$ and $\angle \mathrm { BAD } = 120 ^ { \circ }$. Also, when the point of intersection of diagonals BD and AC is denoted by E, let $\mathrm { BE } : \mathrm { ED } = 3 : 4$.
We are to find the area of quadrilateral $\mathrm{ABCD}$.
In order to find the area of quadrilateral ABCD, we are to find the area of triangle ABD, denoted by $\triangle \mathrm { ABD }$, and the area of triangle BCD, denoted by $\triangle \mathrm { BCD }$.
First, let us find $\triangle \mathrm { ABD }$. Since
$$\mathrm { BD } = \sqrt { \mathbf { A } } , \quad \mathrm { AB } = \frac { \sqrt { \mathbf { BC } } } { \mathbf { D } } ,$$
we have
$$\triangle \mathrm { ABD } = \frac { \mathbf { E } \sqrt { \mathbf { F } } } { \mathbf { GH } } .$$
Next, let us find $\triangle \mathrm { BCD }$. Since
$$\triangle \mathrm { ABC } : \triangle \mathrm { ACD } = \mathbf{I} : \mathbf { J } ,$$
we see that $\mathrm { BC } : \mathrm { CD } = \mathbf { K } : \mathbf { L }$. (Give the answers using the simplest integer ratios.)
Hence we have $\mathrm { BC } = \frac { \mathbf{M} \sqrt { \mathbf { N } } } { \mathbf{O} }$ and
$$\triangle \mathrm { BCD } = \frac { \mathbf { PQ } \sqrt { \mathbf { R } } } { \mathbf { ST } }$$
Thus, from (1) and (2) we obtain the result that the area of quadrilateral ABCD is $\frac{\mathbf{U}\sqrt{\mathbf{V}}}{\mathbf{WX}}$.
