Question

If O is any point within $△$ ABC,then to prove that AB + BC + CA > AO + BO + CO

Open in App

Solution

Let us $△$ ABC and mark point O anywhere inside the triangle.

Now, there is a known inequality:
AO + CO < AB + BC (Proof can be given, if you need)
Similarly,
AO + BO < AC + BC
BO + CO > AB + AC
Adding all these together, we get,
2(AO + BO + CO) < 2 (AB + BC + CA)
$\to A B + B C + C A > A O + B O + C O$
