A quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is given. Points K and L belong to the side \(AB\) and \(AK=KL=LB\) and points \(N\) and \(M\) belong to the side \(CD\) and \(CM=MN=ND\). Show that the area of the quadrilateral \(KLMN\) is \(\frac13\) of the area of the quadrilateral \(ABCD\).

A quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is given. Point \(M\) is a midpoint of \(AB\) and point \(N\) is a midpoint of \(CD\). Point \(P\) is where segments \(AN\) and \(DM\) meet, point \(Q\) is where segments \(MC\) and \(NB\) meet. Show that the sum of the areas of triangles \(APD\) and \(BCQ\) is equal to the area of the quadrilateral \(MQNP\).
