Problem Statement

PP is a point inside the triangle ABCABC is a triangle. The distance of PP from the lines BC,CA,ABBC, CA, AB is da,db,dcd_a, d_b, d_c respectively. If rr is the inradius, show that 21da+1db+1dc<r<da+db+dc2\frac{2}{ \frac{1}{d_a} + \frac{1}{d_b} + \frac{1}{d_c}} < r < \frac{d_a + d_b + d_c}{2}
