Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle and let a,b,ca,b,c be the lengths of the sides BC,CA,ABBC, CA, AB respectively. Consider a triangle DEFDEF with the side lengths EF=auEF=\sqrt{au}, FD=buFD=\sqrt{bu}, DE=cuDE=\sqrt{cu}. Prove that A>B>C\angle A >\angle B >\angle C implies A>D>E>F>C\angle A >\angle D >\angle E >\angle F >\angle C.
