Math Puzzle for February 21, 2025

Who remembers algebra and geometry?

How about wall-ball and tetherball?

Alameda Post - two scalene triangles ABO and CDO touch at point O.

Segments AB and CD are vertical and segments AD and BC intersect at O.
Scalene triangles ΔABO and ΔCDO are formed with the following dimensions:

AB = 6y − 7, AO = 5x + 6, BO = 4x + 1, CD = 6y + 13, CO = 4x + 13, DO = 7x − 6

Find the areas of ΔABO and ΔCDO.

ΔABO = ______   ΔCDO = ______
