Let x be the Area of the R e d Region. Area of parallelogram A B C D = A r ( A B C D ) .
Notice that triangles containing ( 7 2 + b + 8 ) and ( x + a ) areas have a total area A = 2 1 ( B E + A E ) × ( height of G r e e n segment ) = 2 A r ( A B C D )
Similarly, traingle with ( a + 7 9 + b + 1 0 ) have area = 2 1 ( A D ) × ( height of B l u e segment ) = 2 A r ( A B C D ) = A
Hence, A = 7 2 + b + 8 + x + a = a + 7 9 + b + 1 0 ⇒ x = 9

Denote the red area as a1, the others as shown in the diagram. a1+a2+72+a4+8= Half of Quadrilateral ABCD. Also, a2+79+a4+10 = Half of Quadrilateral ABCD. In other words, a1+a2+72+a4+8 =a2+79+a4+10 ► R =89-80 =9 s.u.
