Solution
In ∆ABC and ∆ADB,
BC ⊥ AB, AD ⊥ AB, BC = 4, AD = 8 ...(Given)
∆ABC and ∆ADB have same base AB. ...(Given)
∴ Areas of triangles with equal bases are proportional to their corresponding heights.
`("A"(∆"ABC"))/("A"(∆"ADB")) = "BC"/"AD"`
∴ `("A"(∆"ABC"))/("A"(∆"ADB")) = 4/8`
∴ `("A"(∆"ABC"))/("A"(∆"ADB")) = 1/2`.
