say area of ΔABC is A. ((CG)/(AC))=(1/4) ⇒(A_1 /A)=(1/4) ((ΔBGA)/A)=(3/4) ((BE)/(BA))=(1/3) ⇒(A_2 /(ΔBGA))=(1/3) ⇒(A_2 /A)=(1/3)×(3/4)=(1/4) ((ΔGEA)/(ΔBGA))=(2/3) ⇒((ΔGEA)/A)=(2/3)×(3/4)=(1/2) ((ED)/(EA))=(1/2) ⇒((ΔGED)/(ΔGEA))=(1/2) ⇒((ΔGED)/A)=(1/2)×(1/2)=(1/4) ((KF)/(AF))=((DE)/(AE))=(1/2), ((AF)/(FG))=(1/2) ⇒((KF)/(FG))=(1/2)×(1/2)=(1/4) ((DH)/(HG))=((KF)/(FG))=(1/4) ⇒((HG)/(DG))=(4/(1+4))=(4/5) ⇒(A_3 /(ΔGED))=(4/5) ⇒(A_3 /A)=(4/5)×(1/4)=(1/5) ((shaded)/(ΔABC))=((A_1 +A_2 +A_3 )/A)=(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/5)=(7/(10))

by length ratio of triangles (1) ((area ΔAEG)/(area ΔABC)) = (((2/3)×(3/4))/1)=((1/2)/1) (2) ((area shaded)/(area ΔABC))=(((1/2)(((1+2)/(1+2+2))))/1)=(3/(10)) (3) fraction of area =1−(3/(10))=(7/(10))

$${by}\:{length}\:{ratio}\:{of}\:{triangles} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:\frac{{area}\:\Delta{AEG}}{{area}\:\Delta{ABC}}\:=\:\frac{\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}×\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}}{\mathrm{1}}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\frac{{area}\:{shaded}}{{area}\:\Delta{ABC}}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{2}}\right)}{\mathrm{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{10}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{3}\right)\:{fraction}\:{of}\:{area}\:=\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{10}}=\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{10}} \\ $$
