Problem
Let , and be the side-lengths of a triangle with perimeter . Prove that (APMO 2003)
Solution
Without loss of generality, we may assume . The triangle inequality and imply that , i.e. . Since , it follows that . Since , it follows that , i.e. .
Analogously we conclude . Summing the obtained inequalities we get
