Routh's Theorem

From AoPSWiki

In triangle ABC, D, E and F are points on sides BC, AC, and AB, respectively. Let r=\frac{AF}{AB}, s=\frac{BD}{BC}, and =\frac{CE}{CA}. Let G be the intersection of AD and BC, H be the intersection of BE and CF, and I be the intersection of CF and AD. Then, Routh's Theorem states that

[GHI]=\dfrac{(rst-1)^2}{(rs+r+1)(st+s+1)(tr+t+1)}[ABC]
