Problem of the Month
Hint for Problem 1: October 2022

  1. There are several ways to compute the area of the Seraj hexagon. One is to subtract the areas of three smaller triangles from that of the full triangle.

  2. From the centre of the incircle, draw a radius to each point of tangency the circle has with the triangle.

  3. Try to prove that \(3(x^2+y^2+z^2)\geq (x+y+z)^2\) is true for all real numbers \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) and determine a condition on \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) that implies \(3(x^2+y^2+z^2)=(x+y+z)^2\).
