3/11/2023
An acute triangle is a triangle that has all angles less than 90∘90^{\circ} (90∘90^{\circ} is a Right Angle). Let ABCABC be an acute triangle with altitudes ADAD, BEBE, and CFCF meeting at HH. The circle passing through points DD, EE, and FF meets ADAD, BEBE, and CFCF again at XX, YY, and ZZ respectively. Prove the following inequality: AHDX+BHEY+CHFZ≥3.\frac{AH}{DX}+\frac{BH}{EY}+\frac{CH}{FZ} \geq 3.
