We call an operation for a a convex n-gon cutting, where we mark the midpoints of two consecutive sides AB and BC (let M and N respectively) and the sides AB and BC are replaced by the three sides AM, MN and NC (in other words, replace the triangle MBN of the original n-gon by cutting to a convex (n + 1)-gon ). By cutting a regular hexagon P_6 with an area of 1, we form a convex heptagon P_7, and by cutting it (in one of seven possible ways) we get a convex octagon P_8, and so on. Prove that by performing the circumscribed cuttings in any way, each time the area of the resulting polygon P_n (n\ge 6) is greater than 1/3.
