Let
be the incenter of a triangle
and
,
, and
be the intersections of the segments
,
,
with the incircle. Also let
the centroid
lie inside the incircle and
,
, and
be the intersections of the segments
,
,
with the incircle. Then the perimeter of
is less than or equal to that of
, as proposed by Garfunkel (1981, 1982) and proved by
Nyugen and Dergiades (2004).
