Problem: Let A, B, C be the angles of an acute-angled triangle. Prove the inequality sinA+sinB>cosA+cosB+cosC
Solution
Solution: In an acute-angled triangle we have A+B>2π. Hence we have sinA>sin(2π−B)=cosB and sinB>cosA. Using these inequalities we get (1−sinA)(1−sinB)<(1−cosA)(1−cosB) and sinA+sinB>cosA+cosB−cosAcosB+sinAsinB=cosA+cosB−cos(A+B)=cosA+cosB+cosC
