PERIMETER AND AREA I

Question 1: Triangle XYZ is inside square KLMN shown below so that its vertices
each lie on three different sides of the square. It is known that the area of square
KLMN is 1 and the vertices of the triangle divide three sides of the square up into
these ratios: 𝐾𝑋: 𝑋𝐿 = 3: 2, 𝐾𝑌: 𝑌𝑁 = 4: 1, 𝑁𝑍: 𝑍𝑀 = 2: 3. What is the area of the
triangle XYZ?
