In the convex quadrilateral ABCDABCD, points M,NM, N lie on the side ABAB such that AM=MN=NBAM = MN = NB, and points P,QP, Q lie on the side CDCD such that CP=PQ=QDCP = PQ = QD. Prove that
Area of AMCP=Area of MNPQ=13Area of ABCD.\text{Area of } AMCP = \text{Area of } MNPQ = \frac{1}{3}\,\text{Area of } ABCD.

Want a route through all this instead of an archive? The track puts 2,000 problems in a working order, from AMC 10 level to the IMO shortlist.
