Find the Barycentric Coordinates of P with Respect to the Affinely

Multiple Choice

Find the barycentric coordinates of p with respect to the affinely independent set of points that precedes it.
-Let $\mathbf { p }$ be a point in the interior of $\triangle \mathrm { abc }$ with barycentric coordinates $\left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } , \frac { 3 } { 8 } , \frac { 1 } { 8 } \right)$ . What is the area of $\Delta$ pbc with respect to the area of $\Delta \mathbf { a b c }$ ?

A) $\frac { 3 } { 8 } \cdot ($ area of $\Delta \mathrm { abc } )$
B) $\frac { 1 } { 2 } \cdot ($ area of $\triangle \mathrm { abc } )$
C) $\frac { 1 } { 8 } \cdot ($ area of $\Delta \mathrm { abc } )$
D) Not enough information to determine.
