  1. draw DH1, AH altitudes on BE, BC
    BE∙ DH1 = S1, BC∙AH = S => S1/S = (BE∙DH1)/(BC∙AH)
    from ▲DBH1, ▲BAH => DH1/AH = BD/AB substitute above
    S1/S = (BE∙BD)/(BC∙AB)

    (I have sent yesterday solution of 579)

  2. Join point E & point A. Then area of triangle BED (S1) is proportional to area of triangle BEA (S2), and the ratio is:
    S1/S2 = BD/BA. (1)
    Now area of triangle BAC (S) is proportional to area of triangle BEA (S2): S/S2 = BE/BC. (2)
    We multiply (1) & (2) to obtain the result:
    (S1/S2)·(S/S2) = S1/S = BD·BA/(BE·BC).

  3. Sorry:
    S/S2=BC/BE
    (S1/S2)•(S2/S)=BD•BE/(BA•BC)

  4. S=1/2.BA.BC.sinB
    S1=1/2.BD.BE.sinB
