    Let BI extended meet AC at D and circle O at E

    < EAI = EIA = (A+B)/2 so AE = EI = IB since OI is perpendicular to BE

    Further, since < EAD = < ABE = B/2, Tr.s ADE & ABE are similar and so
    AD/c = AE/BE = 1/2 so that AD = c/2

    But AD = bc/(a+c), hence c/2 = bc/(a+c) from which, a+c= 2b

    Now S1 = rb/2 = (S/s)*(b/2) = Sb/(a+b+c) = Sb/(3b) = S/3

    let BI meet AC at N and arc AC at D
    Let CI meet arc AB at M
    We have I is the midpoint of BD
    and Triangle DIC is isoceles
    Triangle DNC simillar to DCB ( case AA)
    so DC^2=DN.DB=2DN.DI=2DN.DC
    so DN/DC=DN/DI=1/2 => N is the midpoint of ID
    and NI/NB=1/3
    Area(AIC)/Area(ABC)= NI/NB= 1/3

    Draw BH=h, IM=r, altitudes of tr S and S1: Need to prove r/h=1/3
    Extend BI to N, T, extend OI to P, join O to T.Easy OBPT rhombus
    From OPHS r=((h-R)+(R-r))/2 (N midpoint of SM from P155) =>r/h=1/3
