SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the geometric relationship within triangle ABC, specifically proving that if the inequality \(2b < a + c\) holds, then it follows that \(2\angle B < \angle A + \angle C\). This conclusion is derived using properties of triangles and angle relationships. The proof leverages the Law of Sines and the triangle inequality theorem to establish the necessary conditions for the angles based on the given side lengths.

PREREQUISITES

$\triangle ABC (with \,\, side \,\, length \,\, a,b,c)$
$if :2b<a+c$
$prove :2\angle B <\angle A +\angle C$
