can anyone help me with this proof.

OpenStudy (praxer):

\[a^2+b^2+c^2-(2ab+2bc+2ca)\ge \frac{ 4 }{ \sqrt{F} }\]

OpenStudy (praxer):

where a,b,c are the sides of a triangle and F is the area.

OpenStudy (praxer):

Someone please give a hint,

OpenStudy (debbieg):

I'm wondering if it has something to do with Heron's formula? http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/herons-formula.html Sorry, I'd try to work with you on it, but I'm short on time right now.

OpenStudy (debbieg):

Maybe @amistre64 has an idea....?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

proof, by induction?

OpenStudy (praxer):

induction ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you cant possibly test each and every triangle can you?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the left side is almost: (a-b-c)^2

OpenStudy (praxer):

I am not getting anything could you please help me more in this matter.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[a^2+b^2+c^2-(2ab+2bc+2ca)\ge \frac{ 4 }{ \sqrt{F} }\] \[(a-b-c)^2-4bc\ge \frac{ 4 }{ \sqrt{F} }\]

OpenStudy (praxer):

I have to prove the equation it is not provided, i have to prove with the help of the given information,

OpenStudy (praxer):

May be I require a diagram and then proceed with prerequisite.

OpenStudy (amistre64):
