Problem

Let $\,ABC\,$ be a triangle and $\,P\,$ an interior point of $\,ABC\,$. Show that at least one of the angles $\,\angle PAB,\;\angle PBC,\;\angle PCA\,$ is less than or equal to $30^{\circ }$.

Solution

Let $A_{1}$ , $A_{2}$, and $A_{3}$ = $\measuredangle CAB$, $\measuredangle ABC$, $\measuredangle BCA$, respcetively.

Let $\alpha_{1}$ , $\alpha_{2}$, and $\alpha_{3}$ = $\measuredangle PAB$, $\measuredangle PBC$, $\measuredangle PCA$, respcetively.
