Belarus — Selection and Training Session

Geometry Difficulty 5.9 AIME, harder Prove it Belarus

Points KK, LL, MM lie on the sides BCBC, CACA, ABAB of a triangle ABCABC, respectively, so that AKAK, BLBL, CMCM meet at a common point. Let r1r_1, r2r_2, r3r_3, rr be the inradii of the triangles ALMALM, BMKBMK, CKLCKL, ABCABC, respectively.
Prove that r1+r2+r3≥rr_1 + r_2 + r_3 \ge r or r2+r3≥rr_2 + r_3 \ge r or r1≥rr_1 \ge r.
