In square \(ABCD\)\(E\) and \(F\) are the midpoints of \(\overline{BC}\) and \(\overline{CD}\), respectively. Line segments \(\overline{BF}\) and \(\overline{AE}\) intersect at \(G\). Let \(M\) be the midpoint of \(\overline{AB}\), and let \(N\) be the intersection of \(\overline{AE}\) and \(\overline{DM}\).

(a) Show that quadrilaterals \(GFDN\) and \(GBMN\) are trapezoids.

 

(b) Find the ratios \(BG : MN, FG : MN,\) and \(DN : MN\).

 

(c)  Compute the ratio of the area of the quadrilateral \(GFDN\) to the area of quadrilateral \(GBMN\).

 

 

Thank you.
