Question
In Fig. prove that:

Answer

To prove,
  1. CD + DA + AB + BC > 2AC
  2. CD + DA + AB > BC
From the given figure,
We know that, in a triangle sum of any two sides is greater than the third side.
  1. So,
In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ we have

AB + BC > AC ....(i)

In $\triangle\text{ADC},$ we have

CD + DA > AC ....(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

AB + BC + CD + DA > AC + AC

AB + BC + CD + DA > 2AC
  1. Now, In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ we have,
AB + AC > BC ...(iii)

And in $\triangle\text{ADC},$ we have

CD + DA > AC

Add AB on both sides

CD + DA + AB > AC + AB

From equation (iii) and (iv), we get,

CD + DA + AB > AC + AB > BC

CD + DA + AB > BC

Hence proved.
