Problem Statement

ABCABC is an arbitrary triangle. A,B,CA',B',C' are midpoints of arcs BC,AC,ABBC, AC, AB. Sides of triangle ABCABC, intersect sides of triangle ABCA'B'C' at points P,Q,R,S,T,FP,Q,R,S,T,F. Prove that SPQRSTFSABC=1ab+ac+bc(a+b+c)2\frac{S_{PQRSTF}}{S_{ABC}}=1-\frac{ab+ac+bc}{(a+b+c)^{2}}
