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
