Problem
Rectangle 
below is a 
rectangle with 
. The area of the "bat wings" (shaded area) is
![[asy] draw((0,0)--(3,0)--(3,4)--(0,4)--(0,0)--(2,4)--(3,0)); draw((3,0)--(1,4)--(0,0)); fill((0,0)--(1,4)--(1.5,3)--cycle, black); fill((3,0)--(2,4)--(1.5,3)--cycle, black); label("$A$",(3.05,4.2)); label("$B$",(2,4.2)); label("$C$",(1,4.2)); label("$D$",(0,4.2)); label("$E$", (0,-0.2)); label("$F$", (3,-0.2)); label("$1$", (0.5, 4), N); label("$1$", (1.5, 4), N); label("$1$", (2.5, 4), N); label("$4$", (3.2, 2), E); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/0/7/a07a9e12af7228a9f783f34687384df0042b721e.png)
Solution 1
The area of trapezoid 
is 
. Next, we find the height of each triangle to calculate their area. The two non-colored isosceles triangles are similar, and are in a 
ratio by AA similarity (alternate interior and vertical angles) so the height of the larger is 
while the height of the smaller one is 
Thus, their areas are 
and 
. Subtracting these areas from the trapezoid, we get 
. Therefore, the answer to this problem is 
.
