6. (USS 4) Prove for each triangle the inequality
where is the incenter and are the lengths of the angle bisectors of .
Solution
6. Let be sides of the triangle. Let be the intersection of line with . By the known fact, and , hence and . Consequently . Put : it is obvious that are positive. Our inequality becomes
Remark. The inequalities cannot be improved. In fact, is equal to for , while it can be arbitrarily close to if and is sufficiently small.
