  1. Let S(ABC) be the area of ABC.

    S(CDE) = S(ABF) = 2
    S(ACDE) = 11+2 = 13
    S(OCDE) = 13/2
    S(OCE) = 13/2 - 2 = 9/2
    S(BCE) = 9

    S(AEF) = S(BCD) = 4
    S(ACEF) = 11+4 = 15
    S(AOEF) = 15/2
    S(AOE) = 15/2 - 4 = 7/2
    S(ABE) = 7

    S(ABC) = 9+7-11 = 5

  2. AC=FD, CE=BF, and AE=BD, so [BFD]=[ECA]=11.
    [ABC]=2+4+11-[ACDF]=2+4+11-2[ACF]=2+4+11-2(2+4)=5
