Brazil L2 Finals (OBM) - geometry, 2002.1

Let $XYZ$ be a right triangle of area $1$ m$^2$ . Consider the triangle $X'Y'Z'$ such that $X'$ is the symmetric of X wrt side $YZ$, $Y'$ is the symmetric of $Y$ wrt side $XZ$ and $Z' $ is the symmetric of $Z$ wrt side $XY$. Calculate the area of the triangle $X'Y'Z'$.

Given triangle $ABC$. Points $A_1,B_1$ and $C_1$ are symmetric to its vertices with respect to opposite sides. $C_2$ is the intersection point of lines $AB_1$ and $BA_1$. Points$ A_2$ and $B_2$ are defined similarly. Prove that the lines $A_1 A_2, B_1 B_2$ and $C_1 C_2$ are parallel. (A. Zaslavsky)
