A parallelogram \(ABCD\) and a point \(E\) are given. Through the points \(A, B, C, D\), lines parallel to the straight lines \(EC, ED, EA,EB\), respectively, are drawn. Prove that they intersect at one point.

The tower in the castle of King Arthur is crowned with a roof, which is a triangular pyramid, in which all flat angles at the top are straight. Three roof slopes are painted in different colours. The red roof slope is inclined to the horizontal at an angle \(\alpha\), and the blue one at an angle \(\beta\). Find the probability that a raindrop that fell vertically on the roof in a random place fell on the green area.
