Cyclic Hexagon And Ratio (Posted on 2007-12-08) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The six sides of a cyclic hexagon PQRSTU are PQ, QR, RS, ST, TU and UP. It is known that PQ= RS= TU and the diagonals PS, QT and RU meet at the point V. The lines PS and RT intersect at the point W.

Determine the ratio RW/WT, given that PR = 3*RT.
