Problem

Quadrilateral $ABCD$ is a parallelogram, and $E$ is the midpoint of the side $AD$. Let $F$ be the intersection of lines $EB$ and $AC$. What is the ratio of the area of quadrilateral $CDEF$ to the area of triangle $CFB$?

$\textbf{(A) } 5:4 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 4:3 \qquad\textbf{(C) } 3:2 \qquad\textbf{(D) } 5:3 \qquad\textbf{(E) } 2:1$

Solution 1

Assume $ABCD$ is a square, sidelength 1 on Cartesian coordinate system...
