Interactive step-by-step animation using GeoGebra. Post your solution in the comment box below. Level: Mathematics Education, High School, Honors Geometry, College.
<BB1C1 = < BCC1 = 90 - B = <BAA1 = <BH(B)H(C), hence H(B)H(C) // B1C1 and so on for the other sides of the 2 Tr.s A1B1C1 and H(A)H(B)H(C)
90 - A = <ABH(B) = <ACC1 = <ABC1 so Tr.s BC1H(c) & BHH(C) are congruent ASA Hence H(C) is the midpoint of HC1 and similarly H(B) is the mid point of HB1
From the Mid Point theorem, H(B)H(C) = B1C1/2 And therefore S(A1B1C1) = 4.S(H(A)H(B)H(C))
