In this short note, we prove two geometric inequality conjectures involved two triangles posed by Liu [9]. 1. INTRODUCTION AND MAIN RESULTS For ABC, let a, b, c be the side-lengths, the area, s the semi-perimeter, R the circumradius and r the inradius, respectively. Denote by w a, w b and w c the interior bisectors of angles, and h a, h b, h c the altitudes, respectively. It s has been a long time since the scholar studied the inequality involved two triangles. The very famous one is the following Neuberg Pedoe s inequality [11]. a (b + c a + b (c + a b + c (a + b c 16 Recently, Chinese scholar studied some geometric inequalities involved two triangles. For example, Zhang [14] and Gao [4] proved the inequalities as follows, respectively. a a + b b + c c 16 a (b + c a + b (c + a b + c (a + b c 48 An [1] obtained several inequalities as follows.

Liu [9] posed the following two interesting geometric inequality conjectures in 008. Conjecture 1. For ABC and A B C, prove or disprove (b + ccot A + (c + acot + (a + bcot 4(w a + w b + w c. (1.1 Conjecture. For ABC and A B C, and real numbers x, y, z, prove or disprove x aa + y bb + z cc 4 3 (yzw aw a + zxw b w b + xyw cw c. (1. We prove the two conjectures in this paper.

([3, 5] For real numbers x 1, x, x 3, y 1, y, y 3 such that x 1 x + x x 3 + x 3 x 1 0 and y 1 y + y y 3 + y 3 y 1 0, the following inequality holds. (y + y 3 x 1 + (y 3 + y 1 x + (y 1 + y x 3 (x 1 x + x x 3 + x 3 x 1 (y 1 y + y y 3 + y 3 y 1 (.1 With equality holds if and only if x 1 Lemma. ([] In ABC, we have y 1 = x y = x 3 y 3. cot A cot B cot C 3 3. (. Lemma 3. (10, 13 In ABC, we have w a w b + w b w c + w c w a 3r(4R + r (.3 Lemma 4. In ABC, we have w a + w b + w c 3 ab + bc + ca. (.4 Proof. With well-known inequalities [] w a s(s a, etc. We have wa + wb + w c s(s a + s(s b + s(s c = s. (.5 From inequality (.5 and Lemma 3, we obtain (w a + w b + w c s + 4Rr + 6r. (.6 With known identity ab + bc + ca = s + 4Rr + r, we get 9 4 (ab + bc + ca (s + 4Rr + 6r = 5 4 [s 16Rr + 5r + 4r(R r]. (.7

4 196 Yu-Lin Wu From identity (.7, Gerretssen s inequality s 16Rr 5r and Euler s inequality R r, we can conclude that 9 4 (ab + bc + ca (s + 4Rr + 6r 0 s + 4Rr + 6r 3 ab + bc + ca. (.8 Inequality (.4 follows from inequality (.6 and (.8 immediately. Thus, we complete the proof of Lemma 4. Lemma 5. (Wolstenholme s inequality, see [7] For ABC and real numbers x, y, z, we have x + y + z yz cos A + zxcos B + xy cos C, (.9 with equality holds if and only if x : y : z = sin A : sinb : sin C. By Lemma 1, we get 3. THE PROOF OF CONJECTURE 1 (b + ccot A + (c + acot + (a + bcot (ab + bc + ca ( cot A A cot + cot cot + cot cot (3.1 By Lemma and AM GM inequality, we obtain cot A cot + cot cot + cot cot A 3 (cot A 3 cot cot = 9. (3. With inequality (3.1-(3., together with Lemma 4, we can conclude that inequality (1.1 holds. The proof of conjecture 1 is complete.

5 Two geometric inequalities involved two triangles THE PROOF OF CONJECTURE With known inequalities w a bc cos A, etc, we get 4 3 (yz bcb c cos 4 3 (yzw aw a + zxw b w b + xyw cw c A cos A + zx cac a cos B cos + xy aba b cos C cos = = 4 3 [yz bcb c (cos A + A + cos A A + zx cac a (cos B + + cos B + xy aba b (cos C + + cos C ] For A+A + B+ + C+ = π, then by Lemma 5, we have + (4.1 yz bcb c cos A + A + zx cac a cos B + + xy aba b cos C + 1 (x aa + y bb + z cc. (4. From cos A A 1, cos B 1, cos C 1, and x + y + z xy + yz + zx, we obtain yz bcb c cos A A + zx cac a cos B + xy aba b cos C yz bcb c + zx cac a + xy aba b x aa + y bb + z cc. (4. Inequality (1. follows from inequalities (4.1-(4.3 immediately. Thus, we complete the proof of Conjecture.
