- APA + PB + PC < AB + BC + CA
- BPA + PB + PC > AB + BC + CA
- CPA + PB + PC = AB + BC + CA
- D
Step-by-Step Solution
For an interior point P, extend BP to meet AC; using triangle inequalities one shows PA + PB + PC is less than the full perimeter AB + BC + CA. (It also exceeds half the perimeter, but the upper bound asked is the full perimeter.)
Answer: A) PA + PB + PC < AB + BC + CA
