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 $\A_{1}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) , $\A_{2}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg), and $\A_{3}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) = $\measuredangle CAB$, $\measuredangle ABC$, $\measuredangle BCA$, respcetively.

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