btw to a given triangle with sides a, b, c  there are 2 possible “inner” triangles with  sides o_k , p_k , q_k :  o_1 =((√(6a^2 −2b^2 +3c^2 ))/7); o_2 =((√(6a^2 +3b^2 −2c^2 ))/7)  [p_k , q_k  by cycling a, b, c]  it′s easy to solve these for a, b, c with given  o, p, q:  a_1 =(√(6o^2 +3p^2 −2q^2 )); a_2 =(√(6o^2 −2p^2 +3q^2 ))  [again b_k , c_k  by cycling o, p, q]  all these triangles share the same mass center

B origin.  vectors  a, c, p  r_C =a  r_A =c  A ′=P  and so on..  r_Q =2p  r_R =a+2(2p−c)=c+((p−c)/2)  ⇒  2a+7p=5c  2Area_(sh) =∣p×{a+2(2p−c)}∣  ⇒ 98A_(sb) ^�   =(5c−2a)×{7a+4(5c−2a)−14c}  =(5c−2a)(6c−a)  =7∣a×c∣  ⇒  A_(sh) =((∣a×c∣)/(14))=(△_(ABC) /7)  ★    2△_(ABC) =∣a×c∣

we see all seven small triangles have  the same area, therefore   Δ_(A′B′C′) =(Δ_(ABC) /7).  say AC′=C′A′=p, BA′=A′B′=q, CB′=B′C′=r  cos β=−((4q^2 +r^2 −a^2 )/(4qr))=((q^2 +r^2 −p^2 )/(2qr))  −2p^2 +6q^2 +3r^2 =a^2    ...(i)  similarly  3p^2 −2q^2 +6r^2 =b^2    ...(ii)  6p^2 +3q^2 −2r^2 =c^2    ...(iii)  ⇒p^2 =((−2a^2 +3b^2 +6c^2 )/(49)) ⇒p=((√(−2a^2 +3b^2 +6c^2 ))/7)  ⇒q^2 =((6a^2 −2b^2 +3c^2 )/(49)) ⇒q=((√(6a^2 −2b^2 +3c^2 ))/7)  ⇒r^2 =((3a^2 +6b^2 −2c^2 )/(49)) ⇒r=((√(3a^2 +6b^2 −2c^2 ))/7)
