Adil Abdullayev's Inequality With Roots and Powers

Proof

We know that $3\sqrt{3}\ge8\sin A\sin B\sin C\,$ which is equivalent to $\displaystyle 3\sqrt{3}(abc)^2\ge\frac{(abc)^3}{R^3}\,$ which, in turn, is equivalent to

$\sqrt{3}(abc)^{2/3}\ge 4S.$

Denote $a^2=x,\,$ $b^2=y,\,$ and $c^2=z.\,$ In terms of $x,y,z,\,$ suffice it to show that

$\displaystyle x+y+z\ge\sqrt{3}(xyz)^{1/3}\sqrt[4]{(x+y+z)\left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}\right)}$

or, equivalently,

$\displaystyle (x+y+z)^3\ge 9(xyz)^{1/3}(xy+yz+zx).$

But $x+y+z\ge 3(xyz)^{1/3}\,$ and $(x+y+z)^2\ge 3(xy+yz+zx),\,$ which completes the proof.
