Problems Involving Triangles
1. Denote by P the perimeter of triangle ABC. If M is a point in the interior of the triangle, prove that:
\[\frac{1}{2}P < MA + MB + MC < P\]
2. The side length of the equilateral triangle ABC equals l. The point P lies in the interior of ABC and the distances from P to the triangle’s sides are 1, 2, 3. Find the possible values of l.
3. Let P be a point in the interior of the triangle ABC. The reflections of P across the midpoints of the sides BC, CA, AB, are\[P_{a}, P_{b}, P_{c}\] respectively. Prove that the lines APA, BPB, and CPC are concurrent.
\[\frac{1}{2}P < MA + MB + MC < P\]

Could anyone please post proofs to the above statements? Any help would be appreciated.

\[MA+MB> AB ,MB+MC>BC, MC+MA>CA\]
Add the three inequalities and get the desired result.
Let \[M\]
be any arbitrary point on \[\Delta ABC\]
notice \[MA\]
has to be smaller than any of the three sides of the triangle. The rest is ur's to solve

Re: Problems Involving Triangles
why don't you edit the post? it is better i think than mentioning it in a later post.
\[\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{\frac{2 \pi i k}{n}}=0\]

number 3. \[AP,BP,CP \] are concurrent at \[P\]
By definition, Reflection of P across the midpoint of BC lies on AP. So all those reflective lines are concurrent at P.
