Problem Statement

A circle k=(S,r)k = (S, r) is given and a hexagon AABBCCAA'BB'CC' inscribed in it. The lengths of sides of the hexagon satisfy AA=AB,BB=BC,CC=CAAA' = A'B, BB' = B'C, CC' = C'A. Prove that the area PP of triangle ABCABC is not greater than the area PP' of triangle ABCA'B'C'. When does P=PP = P' hold?
