Could someone solve this please
Any tips for geometry?, my geometry is pretty weak

take the use of coordinate geometry to solve such a question, it is easier to go through coordinates than using 2 d figures
For this question, plot A on the origin ( 0,0) C on (4,0 ) and B on (0,3)
u ll get intersection as (1,1 }, name it X , find the equation of line b c using intercept form, coordinates of S will be of the form of (1,x) find x by putiing in the eqn of line similarly find the other coordinates, then find distance using distance formula, in this way you l end up getting the ans as 3/4 .

I havent done coordinate geometry yet , so didnt know it can be used and thought the solution given was overly complicated
