-Can anyone find a good solution to this problem that is effective and doesnt take 30 steps?? :)
+Do you have a good idea about how to go about this problem?
-I used the new BF 16 - Congruent figures have the same area.  Still to be seen if this is correct.
-I want to know how you even got to conguent triangles. I feel like I need more information to even get that far. --[[User:Shore|Shore]] 19:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
-Congruent triangles will be difficult to prove in this case. Consider the case that angle DAB is right while angle ABC is obtuse. The only condition on this quadrilateral is that two sides are parallel - don't take more from the picture than is stated. Using the formula for area might be a better way of going about it. --[[User:Trjacobs|Trjacobs]] 20:31, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
