Let at122at1,at222at2 and at322at3 be the points A, B and C respectively.
 Area of ABC=12||at122at11at222at21at322at31=a21t1t121t2t221t3t32=a2t1t2t2t3t3t1
Coordinates of P,Q and R are
at2t3,at2+t3,at3t1,at3+t1,at1t2,at1+t2 respectively, then
 Area of PQR==at2t3at2+t31at3t1at3+t11at1t2at1+t21=a22t2t3t2+t31t3t1t3+t11t1t2t1+t21=12× Area of ABC Area of ABC Area of PQR=2
