MHB Solve Inequality Challenge: Prove $35\sqrt{55}+55\sqrt{77}+77\sqrt{35}\gt 2310$.

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on proving the inequality \(35\sqrt{55}+55\sqrt{77}+77\sqrt{35}+35\sqrt{77}+55\sqrt{35}+77\sqrt{55} > 2310\). Participants explore the application of the AM-GM inequality to establish the validity of the statement. The conversation emphasizes the need for a rigorous mathematical approach to demonstrate the inequality holds true. Various methods and strategies are considered to simplify the expressions involved. Ultimately, the goal is to confirm that the left side exceeds 2310 using sound mathematical reasoning.

using AM GM ineqality we have unless a b and c same

$ab\sqrt{bc} + bc\sqrt{ca} + ca\sqrt{ab } \gt\ 3abc$
putting $a= 7, b= 5,c =11$ we get
$35 \sqrt{55} + 55\sqrt{77} + 77\sqrt{35 } \gt\ 3 * 7 * 5 * 11\cdots(1)$
putting $a= 5, b= 7,c =11$ we get
$35 \sqrt{77} + 77\sqrt{55} + 55\sqrt{35 } \gt\ 3 * 7 * 5 * 11\cdots(2)$
adding above we get
$35 \sqrt{55} + 55\sqrt{77} + 77\sqrt{35 } + 35 \sqrt{77} + 77\sqrt{55} + 55\sqrt{35 } \gt 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 2$ or 2310

I also use AM-GM inequality:
$(1)>6\times\sqrt[6]{35^3\times 55^3 \times 77^3}=6\sqrt {35\times 55 \times 77}=2310$
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
