The sides of the triangle are , and . Find if there is a point inside the triangle so that the distance to his sides is less than .
Solution
Let be the triangle such that , and . Because , we have that is a right triangle.
Let be the point inside the triangle such that the distance to his sides is less than . Let , and be the points lying on the sides of the triangle. Then, the segments , and are the heights to the triangles , and , respectively. Therefore

which is a contradiction with . This means that the point does not exist.
