2017/018) ABC is a triangle and O is a point in it. Prove that (AB + BC + AC ) > (OA + OB + OC)

Let BO meet AC in D

Then AB+AD > BD = OB+OD

And OD+DC > OC

Sum these for AB+(AD+DC)+OD > OC+OB+OD

or AB+AC > OC+OB

Similarly for BA+BC and CB+CA and sum to get

2(AB+BC+CA) > 2(OA+OB+OC)

or AB+BC+CA > OA+OB+OC
