Question 6
In the figure below, points $R$ and $T$ lie on the side $CD$ of the parallelogram $ABCD$ such that $DR=RT=TC$. Lines $AR$ and $AT$ intersect the extension of $BC$ at points $M$ and $L$ respectively, and the lines $BT$ and $BR$ intersect the extension of $AD$ at points $S$ and $P$ respectively. If the area of the parallelogram $ABCD$ is $48$ cm², then what is the area, in cm², of the shaded region?
