Through point OO - the center of a circle circumscribed around an acute triangle - a straight line is drawn, perpendicular to one of its sides and intersecting the other two sides of the triangle (or their extensions) at points MM and NN. Prove that OM+ONROM+ON \ge R, where RR is the radius of the circumscribed circle around the triangle.
