Let $S$ be a square with sides of length $2$ and $R$ be a rhombus with sides of length $2$ and angles measuring $60^\circ$ and $120^\circ$. These quadrilaterals are arranged to have the same centre and the diagonals of the rhombus are parallel to the sides of the square. Calculate the area of the region on which the figures overlap.

1999 German National Olympiad, 3

A mathematician investigates methods of finding area of a convex quadrilateral obtains the following formula for the area $A$ of a quadrilateral with consecutive sides $a,b,c,d$: $A =\frac{a+c}{2}\frac{b+d}{2}$ (1) and $A = \sqrt{(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)(p-d)}$ (2) where $p = (a+b+c+d)/2$. However, these formulas are not valid for all convex quadrilaterals. Prove that (1) holds if and only if the quadrilateral is a rectangle, while (2) holds if and only if the quadrilateral is cyclic.
