Question

In triangle ABC, prove that
cos2A+cos2BcosA+B1+rR

Open in App
Solution

Let cos A = x, cos B = y, cos C = z then,
x + y = 2 cos A+B2 cos AB2 > 0
x2+y22xy
Add x2+y2 to both sides
2(x2+y2)>(x+y)2
Since x + y is positive we can divide by it
2(x2+y2)(x+y)>x+y
Similarly write other inequalities and add
2(x2+y2)(x+y)>2(x+y+z)
or(cos2A+cosB)(cosA+cosB)>(cosA+cosB+cosC)>1+rR
