Prove that the sum of three altitudes of a triangle is less than the sum of its sides.


In APB,


AP is a median


Angle APB is greater than angle ABP


So angle opposite to greater side is longer


Therefore, AB is greater than AP


Hence proved that in triangle APB the side of the triangle is more than the median or altitude AP of the triangle.


Similarly, in the same manner the other triangles can also be proved.
