Problem:
Show that in a non-obtuse triangle the perimeter of the triangle is always greater than two times the diameter of the circumcircle.
Problem:
Show that in a non-obtuse triangle the perimeter of the triangle is always greater than two times the diameter of the circumcircle.
Solution:
Let , , be the midpoints of the sides , , of a non-obtuse triangle (see Figure 2). Note that the centre of the circumcircle is inside the triangle (or at one of its vertices if is a right-angled triangle). Therefore and hence , where is the diameter of the circumcircle.
