![DF=(3/5)×DC=(3/5)×BD GE=(3/5)×BG=(3/8)×BE [GDE]=(3/8)×[BED] =(3/8)×(1/2)×[BEC] =(3/8)×(1/2)×(2/5)×[ABC] =(3/(40))×[ABC] ✓](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q186003.png)
$${DF}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}×{DC}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}×{BD} \\ $$$${GE}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}×{BG}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{8}}×{BE} \\ $$$$\left[{GDE}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{8}}×\left[{BED}\right] \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{8}}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\left[{BEC}\right] \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{8}}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{5}}×\left[{ABC}\right] \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{40}}×\left[{ABC}\right]\:\checkmark \\ $$
