I have tried solve the following problem, but I can not see how to approach it: In the figure, $ABCD$ is an arbitrary convex quadrilateral, $M$ and $N$ are, respectively, the middle points of $overline{AB}$ and $overline{CD}$, and $S,S_1,S_2$ are the area of the shaded regions. Prove that $$S=S_1+S_2$$ Any hints are welcome!
