If is any point on the line passing through and then the ratio in which divides is

Shown below is a map of Giri's neighbourhood.
Giri did a survey of his neighbourhood and collected the following information.
* The hotel, mall and the main gate of the garden lie in a straight line.
* The distance between the hotel and the mall is half the distance between the mall and the main gate of the garden.
* The bus stand is exactly midway between the main gate of the garden and the fire station.
* The mall, bus stand and the water tank lie in a straight line.
Giri proposed a plan to make a triangular pathway by joining the midpoints of the sides of the triangular garden.
What will be the area, in square units, enclosed by the triangular pathway?
