Problem Statement

Let PP be a point in the interior of ABC\triangle ABC. The lengths of the sides of ABC\triangle ABC is a,b,ca,b,c, and the distance from PP to the sides of ABC\triangle ABC is p,q,rp,q,r. Show that the circumradius RR of ABC\triangle ABC satisfies Ra2+b2+c218pqr3.\displaystyle R\le \frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{18\sqrt[3]{pqr}}. When does equality hold?
