Qiyang Lu has sent in the following puzzler, which he says has been bugging
him for many years now, and which he says he came up with as an extension to
the triangle inequality. (Thanks!)
Prove or disprove: In any quadrilateral ABCD, it is always true that the sum of the lengths of the quadrilateral's three longest edges is longer than the sum of the lengths of its two diagonals. This month, more than usual, please make sure your solution is elegant. |
