If mid points of sides of a triangle joined, then the triangle is divided into four equal parts, [see figure (1)]

Let area of each triangle ΔXLM = ΔYLP = ΔPMZ = ΔLMP = 6 units

Total area of ΔXYZ = 24 units

Median divides the triangle into two equal parts, [see figure (2)]

Area of each triangle ΔLGM = ΔMGP = ΔPLG = 2 units

∴ Area of ΔGLM : Area of ΔXYZ = 2 : 24 = 1 : 12.
