In isosceles right triangle $ABC$, shown here, $AC=BC$. Point $X$ is on side $BC$ such that $CX=6$ and $XB=12$, and $Y$ is on side $AB$ such that $\overline{XY}\perp\overline{AB}$. What is the ratio of the area of triangle $BXY$ to the area of triangle $ABC$?

The ratio of the area of triangle BXY to the area of triangle ABC is 4/3.

[BXY] : [ABC] = 4 : 18
