In the figure below, given a triangle
ABC of area S. Let be S1 the area of the
central star determined by the triangles DFH and EGM. D, E, F,
G, H, and M are determined by trisection of each
side of the triangle ABC and connecting the corresponding points
A', A", B', B", C', and C" with the opposite vertex.
Prove that

FACTS AND HINTS:
Geometry problem solving is one of the most challenging skills for students to learn. When a
problem requires auxiliary construction, the difficulty of the problem increases drastically, perhaps because deciding which construction to make is an ill-structured problem. By “construction,” we mean adding geometric figures (points, lines, planes) to a problem figure that wasn’t mentioned as "given."
