A. Draw the given quadrilateral ABCD.
B. Draw the diagonal AC of quadrilateral ABCD.
C. Draw a parallel line through point D to diagonal AC of quadrilateral ABCD which intersects at E produced BC.
D. DEAC,ABE is the required triangle.

ACE=ADC (on same base AC and between same parallels AC and DE )
ACE=ADC
ABC+ADC=ACE+ABC (adding area of ABC on both sides)
quadrilateral ABCD=ABE
