Problem
Suppose , are the in-radius and circum-radius of triangle . Show that with equality in both inequalities iff is equilateral.
Solution
Let stand for the area of . Consider the LHS. Note that
Consider the RHS. Since , etc, we have that
Thus the inequality holds, and there is equality throughout iff
One can obtain the RHS a little differently using the facts that
