6. Let ABC be an acute-angled triangle. The feet of the altitudes from

internet until 8am GMT on Saturday 3 December.

A, B and C are D, E and F respectively. Prove that DE +DF ≤ BC

Do not turn over until told to do so.

and determine the triangles for which equality holds.

The altitude from A is the line through A which is perpendicular to

BC. The foot of this altitude is the point D where it meets BC. The

other altitudes are similarly defined.
