In a triangle \(\triangle ABC\), \(D\) is the midpoint of \(BC\), and \(E\) is the midpoint of \(AD\). \(F\) is the intersection of the side \(AC\) with \(BE\). What is the area of the triangle \(\triangle AEF\) as a proportion of the area of the triangle \(\triangle ABC\)?

Let \(ABCD\) be a parallelogram. The segment \(EF\) is parallel to the diagonal \(BD\), and the segment \(EG\) is parallel to the diagonal \(AC\). Show that the areas of the triangles \(\triangle EFD\) and \(\triangle EGC\) are equal.

Today we will solve some problems about finding areas of geometric figures. All you need to know in order to solve every problem in this set is: to calculate the area of a triangle we multiply the length of a side by the length of a height to that side and divide by \(2\), namely:\(\frac12 AB \times CD\), as for rectangle we just multiply two adjacent sides (\(EF \times GF\)), and when we have a circle we calculate the area by \(\pi r^2\), where \(r\) is the radius of the circle.

In a trapezium \(ABCD\), the side \(AB\) is parallel to the side \(CD\). Prove that the areas of triangles \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle ABD\) are equal.

On the left there is a circle inscribed in a square with side \(1\). On the right there are \(16\) smaller, identical circles, which all together fit inside a square of side \(1\). Which area is greater, the yellow or the blue one?

In a square, the midpoints of its sides were marked and connected to the vertices of the square. There is another square formed in the centre. The side length of the large square is \(10\). Find the area of the smaller square. (That is, the red one)

In a parallelogram \(ABCD\), point \(E\) belongs to the side \(AB\), point \(F\) belongs to the side \(CD\) and point \(G\) belongs to the side \(AD\). We know that the marked red segments \(AE\) and \(CF\) have equal lengths. Prove that the total grey area is equal to the total black area.
