20. Let ABC be an acute-angled triangle. Prove that<br />
(a) tan A + tan B + tan C = tan A tan B tan C;<br />
(b) tan A tan B tan C ≥ 3 √ 3.<br />
21. Let ABC be a triangle. Prove that<br />
cot A cot B + cot B cot C + cot C cot A = 1.<br />
Conversely, prove that if x,y,z are real numbers with xy + yz+ zx = 1, then<br />
there exists a triangle ABC such that cot A = x, cot B = y, and cot C = z.<br />
22. Let ABC be a triangle. Prove that<br />
sin 2 A 2 + B sin2 2 + C sin2 2 + 2 sin A 2 sin B 2 sin C 2 = 1.<br />
Conversely, prove that if x,y,z are positive real numbers such that<br />
x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2xyz = 1,<br />
then there is a triangle ABC such that x = sin A 2 , y = sin B 2 , and z = sin C 2 .<br />
23. Let ABC be a triangle. Prove that<br />
(a) sin A 2 sin B 2 sin C 2 ≤ 1 8 ;<br />
(b) sin 2 A 2 + sin2 B 2 + sin2 C 2 ≥ 3 4 ;<br />
(c) cos 2 A 2 + cos2 B 2 + cos2 C 2 ≤ 9 4 ;<br />
(d) cos A 2 cos B 2 cos C 2 ≤ 3√ 3<br />
