41. To prove S1⩾32S2, it suffices to prove that S△AGH+S△ACH+S△AGH⩽31S2. Noting the parallelograms AGOH,BIOD, and CEOF, the solution to the proposition lies in proving
S△OIF+S△OEH+S△OGD⩾31S2
Let BC=a,CA=b,AB=c,IF=x,EH=y,GD=z. Then equation (1) is equivalent to proving
a2x2+b2y2+c2z2⩾31
According to the problem, we have OE=CF, thus by=aOE=aCF. Similarly, cz=aBI.
Therefore,
axbycz=aIF+CF+BI=1
Using equation (3), by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we get a2x2+b2y2+c2z2⩾31(ax+by+cz)2=31. Hence, equation (2) holds, and the proposition is proved.
