To prove that \( PQ + QR + RP > 2PS \) for any point \( S \) on side \( QR \) of triangle \( PQR \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Consider Triangle \( PQS \) In triangle \( PQS \), we apply the triangle inequality, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. Here, we have: \[ PQ + QS > PS \tag{1} \] ...
