Emblematic
Pat’s latest art installation consists of a large triangle with a red border and, within it, a triangle with a green border. To construct the green triangle, he drew three lines from the vertices of the red triangle to points one third of the way (clockwise) along their respective opposite red sides. Parts of these lines formed the sides of the green triangle. In square centimetres, the area of the red triangle is a three-digit number and the area of the green triangle is the product of those three digits.
What is the area of the red triangle?
