i hav a very cheecky method for this one....that is through cordinates.....
assume B to be origin
a be length of sides
let BC be along x axis
cordinates of c will be (a,0)
similrly for A will be (a/2,√3a/2)
now since we know that points F D E divide lines AB ,BC,CA in some ration (that we can find) find respective cordinates of D F and E....
then find eq of lines AD BE CF
find points of intersection of des lines to find cordinates of traingle of shaded traingle
and hence the area
i know this is lenghty
but is samay yehi aya dimag mey.......[3]
