We choose a point on each side of a parallelogram ABCDABCD, let these four points be P,Q,RP, Q, R and SS. Then we divide the parallelogram into several regions using line segments as shown in the figure. The areas of the grey regions are given, except for one (see the figure). Find the area of the region marked with a question mark. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/4/7/dbd009042dabdb2eafc8fc74960e9011038dae.png
