In the triangle $ ABC $, the point $ A' $ on the side $ BC $, the point $ B' $ on the side $ AC $, the point $ C' $ on the side $ AB $ are chosen so that the straight lines $ AA' $, $ CC' $ intersect at one point, i.e. equivalently $ |BA'| \cdot |CB'| \cdot |AC'| = |CA'| \cdot |AB'| \cdot |BC'| $. Prove that the area of triangle $ A'B'C' $ is not greater than $ 1/4 $ of the area of triangle $ ABC $.
