Problem Statement

ABC\triangle ABC has semiperimeter ss and area FF . A square PQRSP QRS with side length xx is inscribed in ABCABC with PP and QQ on BCBC, RR on ACAC, and SS on ABAB. Similarly, yy and zz are the sides of squares two vertices of which lie on ACAC and ABAB, respectively. Prove that 1x+1y+1zs(2+3)2F\frac 1x +\frac 1y + \frac 1z \le \frac{s(2+\sqrt3)}{2F}
