Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a convex quadrilateral. ACAC and BDBD meet at PP, with APD=60\angle APD=60^{\circ}. Let E,F,GE,F,G, and HH be the midpoints of AB,BC,CDAB,BC,CD and DADA respectively. Find the greatest positive real number kk for which EG+3HFkd+(1k)sEG+3HF\ge kd+(1-k)s where ss is the semi-perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCDABCD and dd is the sum of the lengths of its diagonals. When does the equality hold?
