$ABC$ is a triangle. The point A' lies on the side opposite to $A$ and $BA'/BC = k$, where $1/2 < k < 1$. Similarly, $B'$ lies on the side opposite to $B$ with $CB'/CA = k$, and $C'$ lies on the side opposite to $C$ with $AC'/AB = k$. Show that the perimeter of $A'B'C'$ is less than $k$ times the perimeter of $ABC$.
