If $ a$, $ b$ and $ c$ are positive reals prove inequality: \[ \left(1+\frac{4a}{b+c}\right)\left(1+\frac{4b}{a+c}\right)\left(1+\frac{4c}{a+b}\right) > 25.\]

This is really interesting Namely, before 2 weeks we had Balkan M.O. preparation test and question equivalent to your inequality (related to medians and sidelengths) was proposed and as I remember we could not solve it by using some standard methods but in Sharygin's book there is non/standard solution to this inequality. I will try to find a book and scan that part.

Thanks delegat for the information. I 'll try it before looking at such an elegant solution.

mathangel Here I attached scanned pages with solution to geometric inequality written above.

Thanks for sharing. While looking for the solution, I transformed the problem to another one: Given triangle $ ABC$ whose sides are $ a,b,c$ and whose circumradius is $ R$. Denote by $ R_m$ the radius of the circumcircle of the triangle formed by the 3 medians of $ \triangle ABC$. Then we have the inequality: $ R_m \geq \frac{5}{6} R$. It seems that this is the original problem in the book, isn't it ? Anyway, the solution is elegant.

You are absolutely right mathangel The same question as you wrote is asked in that book.

this the problem of the gyumri olymiad in 2008, when I was in 7class, in our class no one solved, and after seeing the solution we didn't understant anything, but now it is very easy after opening the brackets we get $a^3+b^3+c^3+12abc>a^2b+b^2a+c^2a+a^2c+c^2b+b^2c$ which is true by chur's ineq, which is $a^3+b^3+c^3+3abc\ge a^2b+b^2a+c^2a+a^2c+c^2b+b^2c=>$ PROOVED
