In triangle ABC, point X is the midpoint of side AC and point Y is the midpoint of side BC. If point R is the midpoint of line segment XC and if point S is the midpoint of line segment YC, what is the area of triangular region RCS ?
(1) The area of triangular region ABX is 32.
(2) The length of one of the altitudes of triangle ABC is 8.
OA is A. OG lists a pretty long solution, looking for a simpler explanation.
