Since you know AG = 3CE and DG = 3DE ...eq(1), Now the area of the top most triangle(CDE) =1/2(EC x DE) = 42 ...eq(2) (given) And Now, consider the area of the entire triangle(ADG) = 1/2(AG x DG) = 1/2(3EC x 3DE)-------- replace the values using (eq(1)) = 9/2(EC x DE) = 9(1/2(EC x DE)) ---eq(3)--- i...
