Alice creates the graphs $y=|x-a|$ and $y=c-|x-b|$ , where $a,b,c\in\mathbb{R^+}$. She observes that these two graphs and $x$ axis divides the positive side of the plane ($x,y>0$) into two triangles and a quadrilateral. Find the ratio of sums of two triangles' areas to the area of quadrilateral. [hide=There might be a translation error] In the original statement,it says $XOY$ plane,instead of positive side of the plane. I think these 2 are the same,but I might be wrong [/hide]
