Solution

A. Draw the given quadrilateral ABCD.
B. Draw the diagonal DB of quadrilateral ABCD.
C. Draw a parallel line through point A to diagonal DB of quadrilateral ABCD which intersects at F produced BC.
D. Join FD, AF BD

DFC is the required triangle.

Proof:
ABD=BFD (on same base DB and between same parallels DB and AF )
ABD=BFD
DBC+ABD=BFD+DBC (adding area of DBC on both sides)
quadrilateral ABCD=DFC
