find the area of the triangle formed by joining the mid-point of the sides of the triangle whose vertices are (0,-1), (2,1) and (0,3).
Find the ratio of this area to the area of the triangle.

So its area is = 4 square units.

The smaller triangle's area is of the area of larger triangle, i.e. 1 square unit.
