The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the maximum value of the expression: \[ (l_a l_b l_c) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{B-C}{2}\right) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{C-A}{2}\right) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) \] where \( l_a = \frac{m_a}{M_a} \), \( l_b = \frac{m_b}{M_b} \), and \( l_c = \frac{m_c}{M_c} \). ### Step 1: Express \( l_a, l_b, l_c \) Using the given relationships for the lengths of the angle bisectors, we have: \[ l_a = \frac{m_a}{M_a} = \frac{\sin B \sin C}{\cos^2\left(\frac{B-C}{2}\right)} \] \[ l_b = \frac{m_b}{M_b} = \frac{\sin A \sin C}{\cos^2\left(\frac{A-C}{2}\right)} \] \[ l_c = \frac{m_c}{M_c} = \frac{\sin A \sin B}{\cos^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the product \( l_a l_b l_c \) Now we can calculate the product: \[ l_a l_b l_c = \left(\frac{\sin B \sin C}{\cos^2\left(\frac{B-C}{2}\right)}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{\sin A \sin C}{\cos^2\left(\frac{A-C}{2}\right)}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{\sin A \sin B}{\cos^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ l_a l_b l_c = \frac{\sin^2 A \sin^2 B \sin^2 C}{\cos^2\left(\frac{B-C}{2}\right) \cos^2\left(\frac{A-C}{2}\right) \cos^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)} \] ### Step 3: Combine with cosine terms Now we multiply this product by the cosine squared terms: \[ (l_a l_b l_c) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{B-C}{2}\right) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{C-A}{2}\right) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) \] This gives: \[ = \frac{\sin^2 A \sin^2 B \sin^2 C}{\cos^2\left(\frac{B-C}{2}\right) \cos^2\left(\frac{A-C}{2}\right) \cos^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)} \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{B-C}{2}\right) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{C-A}{2}\right) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression The expression simplifies to: \[ = \sin^2 A \sin^2 B \sin^2 C \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{C-A}{2}\right) \cdot \cos^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) \] ### Step 5: Apply Jensen's Inequality Using Jensen's inequality, we can state that: \[ \sin A + \sin B + \sin C \leq \frac{3}{2} \] This leads to: \[ \sin^2 A + \sin^2 B + \sin^2 C \leq \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 6: Find the maximum value The maximum value of the expression can be calculated as: \[ \frac{27}{64} \] Thus, the maximum value of the product is: \[ \boxed{\frac{27}{64}} \]
