Problem

Lorian Saceanu's Inequality for All Triangles, problem

Solution

We know that

$\sin 2A +\sin 2B +\sin 2C = 4\sin A\sin B\sin C$

which reduces the required inequality to

$\sin A\sin B\sin C\ge \sin 2A\sin 2B\sin 2C.$

The latter, through the double angle formulas, is equivalent to

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{8}\ge\cos A\cos B\cos C,$

a well known inequality.
