IMO 1989 Problem 4

  • Day 2

Let ABCDABCD be a convex quadrilateral such that the sides AB,AD,BCAB, AD, BC satisfy AB=AD+BC.AB = AD + BC. There exists a point PP inside the quadrilateral at a distance hh from the line CDCD such that AP=h+ADAP = h + AD and BP=h+BC.BP = h + BC. Show that: 1h≥1AD+1BC\frac {1}{\sqrt {h}} \geq \frac {1}{\sqrt {AD}} + \frac {1}{\sqrt {BC}}
