Ratio of triangles areas

In an equilateral triangle ABC, the point T is its center of gravity, the point R is the image of the point T in axial symmetry along the line AB, and the point N is the image of the point T in axial symmetry along the line BC. Find the ratio of the areas of the triangles ABC and TRN.

Final Answer:

r =  3:1
