let α=AR=AQ β=BP=BR γ=CP=CQ we have β+γ=a γ+α=b α+β=c ⇒α+β+γ=((a+b+c)/2)=s ⇒α=s−a=((−a+b+c)/2) ⇒β=s−b=((a−b+c)/2) ⇒γ=s−c=((a+b−c)/2) Δ_(ARQ) =((α^2 sin A)/2)=(α^2 /(bc))×((bc sin A)/2)=(α^2 /(bc))Δ_(ABC) =a(−a+b+c)^2 ×(Δ_(ABC) /(4abc)) similarly: Δ_(BPR) =b(a−b+c)^2 ×(Δ_(ABC) /(4abc)) Δ_(CQP) =c(a+b−c)^2 ×(Δ_(ABC) /(4abc)) Δ_(PQR) =Δ_(ABC) −{a(−a+b+c)^2 +b(a−b+c)^2 +c(a+b−c)^2 }×(Δ_(ABC) /(4abc)) Δ_(PQR) =Δ_(ABC) −{a(a+b+c−2a)^2 +b(a+b+c−2b)^2 +c(a+b+c−2c)^2 }×(Δ_(ABC) /(4abc)) Δ_(PQR) =Δ_(ABC) −{(a+b+c)^3 −4(a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )(a+b+c)+4(a^3 +b^3 +c^3 )}×(Δ_(ABC) /(4abc)) ⇒(Δ_(PQR) /Δ_(ABC) )=1−(((a+b+c)^3 −4(a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )(a+b+c)+4(a^3 +b^3 +c^3 ))/(4abc)) if a=b=c: (Δ_(PQR) /Δ_(ABC) )=1−((3^3 −4×3×3+4×3)/4)=1−(3/4)=(1/4)
