In triangle ABCA B C, let the parabola with focus AA and directrix BCB C intersect sides ABA B and ACA C at A1A_{1} and A2A_{2}, respectively. Similarly, let the parabola with focus BB and directrix CAC A intersect sides BCB C and BAB A at B1B_{1} and B2B_{2}, respectively. Finally, let the parabola with focus CC and directrix ABA B intersect sides CAC A and CBC B at C1C_{1} and C2C_{2}, respectively.

If triangle ABCA B C has sides of length 5,12 , and 13 , find the area of the triangle determined by lines A1C2,B1A2A_{1} C_{2}, B_{1} A_{2} and C1B2C_{1} B_{2}.
