Area Techniques (AIME / USAJMO / AMO)
Proof-style AIME / USAJMO / AMO statements — develop a full argument; type only the final answer.
Proof track: treat each problem as a full olympiad writeup on paper. Here you only enter the final answer (integer or short expression).
Area Techniques: core idea
Example problem: hint and answer
**(Proof track.)** Give a complete justification. A triangle has sides . Find its inradius.
Hint: Justify the dissection or area formula you invoke. Answer: 4.
