Alexander, hello:
With all my excuses, I want to remark that your argument about
"re:trigonometry inequality" in your answer to "François" of 10 Nov 1997 is
not correct: When you say that p/R attains its minimum for the equilatral triangle, you
are making a mistake: for the equilateral triangle, p/R = 3sqroot(3)/2,
while for the rectangular isosceles tiangle, p/R = sqroot(2)+1. In the first
case, p/R is greater than in the second case.
So, to prove the trigonometry inequality, another way must be taken.
