Problem Statement

Let a,ba, b, and cc be the lengths of the sides of an arbitrary triangle, and let α,β\alpha,\beta, and γ\gamma be the radian measures of its corresponding angles. Prove that π3αa+βb+γca+b+c<π2. \frac{\pi}{3}\le \frac{\alpha a +\beta b + \gamma c}{a+b+c} < \frac{\pi}{2}. Suggest spatial analogues of this inequality.
