The discussion focuses on proving that if the sum of fractions $\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{c+a}+\frac{c}{a+b}=1$, then it follows that $\frac{a^2}{b+c}+\frac{b^2}{c+a}+\frac{c^2}{a+b}=0$. By multiplying the initial equation by $a$, $b$, and $c$, the result leads to the conclusion that $k + a + b + c = a + b + c$. This simplifies to show that $k$ must equal zero. The proof effectively demonstrates the relationship between the two sums under the given condition. The mathematical reasoning confirms the validity of the statement.

Prove that if $\displaystyle \frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{c+a}+\frac{c}{a+b}=1$, then $\displaystyle \frac{a^2}{b+c}+\frac{b^2}{c+a}+\frac{c^2}{a+b}=0$

$\dfrac {c}{a+b}+\dfrac{a}{b+c}+\dfrac{b}{c+a}=1----(1)$
let :
$\dfrac {c^2}{a+b}+\dfrac{a^2}{b+c}+\dfrac{b^2}{c+a}=k$
$(1)\times a+(1)\times b+(1)\times c$
we get
k+a+b+c=a+b+c
$\therefore k=0$

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
