Problem Statement

The diagonals ACAC and BDBD of a convex quadrilateral ABCDABCD with SABC=SADCS_{ABC} = S_{ADC} intersect at EE. The lines through EE parallel to ADAD, DCDC, CBCB, BABA meet ABAB, BCBC, CDCD, DADA at KK, LL, MM, NN, respectively. Compute the ratio SKLMNSABC\frac{S_{KLMN}}{S_{ABC}}
