6. [7 points] The diagonals of a convex quadrilateral ABCD intersect at point O, and triangles BOC and AOD are equilateral. Point T is symmetric to point O with respect to the midpoint of side CD.
a) Prove that ABT is an equilateral triangle.
b) Suppose it is additionally known that BC=2,AD=5. Find the ratio of the area of triangle ABT to the area of quadrilateral ABCD.
This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, read the official solution, then mark
yourself honestly — the ladder only means something if the record is true.

Answer: b) 4939.
Solution. It is not difficult to show that ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid or a rectangle, so a circle (let's call it Ω) can be circumscribed around ABCD. The diagonals of quadrilateral CODT are bisected by their point of intersection, so it is a parallelogram, and ∠CTD=∠COD=180∘−∠AOD=120∘. Since ∠CAD=60∘, in quadrilateral CADT the sum of opposite angles is 180∘, and a circle can also be circumscribed around it. Therefore, all 5 points A,B,C,T, and D lie on the circle Ω.
Angles ∠ATB and ∠ACB are inscribed in Ω and subtend the same arc, so they are equal, and ∠ATB=60∘. Next, we note that
∠DBT=∠DCT (inscribed, subtend the same arc), ∠DCT=∠BDC (since BD∥CT),∠BDC=∠BAC (the trapezoid is isosceles).
From this, it follows that ∠ABT=∠ABD+∠DBT=∠ABD+∠BAC=180∘−∠AOB=60∘. Thus, it is proven that in triangle ABT two angles are 60∘, so it is equilateral.
b) By the cosine rule in triangle ABO, we find that AB2=AO2+BO2−2⋅AO⋅BO⋅cos120∘=22+52+2⋅5=39. Then the area S1 of triangle ABT is AB2⋅43=4393. The area of the trapezoid S2 is found as half the product of the diagonals, multiplied by the sine of the angle between them: S2=21⋅7⋅7⋅23=4493. Therefore, S1:S2=39:49.
