  1. SB'A'C/SAA'B' = 1/m => SAA'C/SAA'B' = (1+m)/m
    SAA'B' = km/(1+k)(1+m) (1) (SAA'C = k/(1+k) S from P1)
    SAA'B' = AA'∙h3 ( h3 alt from B' to AA')
    AA' = [km/(1+k)(1+m)]/[m/(1+m)] (h3 = m/(1+m) h1 P1
    AA' = k/(1+k) h1 (2)
    SAA'C' = AA'∙h4 ( h4 alt from C' on AA')
    SAA'C' = AA'∙1/(k(1+n) h1 (h4 related to h from B and
    h fro C see P1)
    AA' = (SAA'C')/[1/(k(1+n)] (3)
    from (2) and (3)
    SAA'C' = 1/(1+k)(1+n) (4)
    from (1) and (4)

    SAB'A'C' = 1/(1+k)(1+n) + km/(1+k)(1+m)
    SAB'A'C' =(1+m+kmn+km)/(1+k)(1+m)(1+n)

    SB'C'A' = SAB'A'C' - SAB'C' (SAB'C'=m/(1+m)(1+n) P3
    SB'C'A' = (1+m+kmn+km)/(1+k)(1+m)(1+n) - m/(1+m)(1+n)

    SB'C'A' = (kmn+1)/ (1+k)(1+m)(1+n)

  2. second way, like P2

    SA'B'C' = S - ( SA'BC' + SA'CB' + SAB'C' )

    SA'B'C' = S - [n/(n+1)(k+1)+ k/(k+1)(m+1)+ m/(m+1)(n+1)]


    SA'B'C' = (kmn + 1) / (k+1)(m+1)(n+1)
