Áp dụng định lí Menelaus cho tam giác AMC có B,I,N thẳng hàng ta có: [tex]\frac{AN}{NC}.\frac{CI}{IM}.\frac{MB}{BA}=1\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}.\frac{CI}{IM}.\frac{1}{3}=1\Rightarrow \frac{CI}{IM}=6\Rightarrow \frac{CI}{CM}=\frac{6}{7}\Rightarrow S_{CIB}=\frac{6}{7}S_{CBM}=\frac{6}{7}.\frac{1}{3}S_{ABC}=\frac{120}{7}(cm^2)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{S_{CIN}}{S_{CAM}}=\frac{CI}{CM}.\frac{CN}{CA}=\frac{6}{7}.\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{7}\Rightarrow S_{CIN}=\frac{4}{7}S_{CAM}\Rightarrow S_{AMIN}=\frac{3}{7}S_{CAM}=\frac{3}{7}.\frac{2}{3}S_{ABC}=\frac{2}{7}.60=\frac{120}{7}(cm^2)[/tex]
