  1. It is easy to see that A3/A4=(s-c)/(s-b) ....(1)
    Let r1,s1,S1 and r2,s2,S2 are in-radius,semi perimeter and area of triangle ABT and ACT respectively.
    We have s1=s2=(s+AT)/2, s is semi perimeter of Tr.ABC
    r1/r2=(S1/s1)/(S2/s2)=S1/S2=(s-c)/(s-b)
    A1/A2=(r1/r2).((s-c)/(s-b))=(s-c)^2/(s-b)^2
    Using eq 1, we have A1/A2=A3^2/A4^2
