Jensen's Inequality

Today, I solved a geometric inequality using Jensen's. For some reason, it made me very happy for the rest of the day :)

If $T$ is the area of a triangle with sides $a$, $b$, $c$, show that
\[ a^2+b^2+c^2 \geq 4\sqrt{3} T \]

Yea we're doing inequalities in WOOT now YAY.

But I failed the AIME with a 3 because I panicked when I had 5 done; instead of checking my work (I probably would have got at least a 5 and thus easily made JMO :( ) I just said, "Oh no 5 right isn't enough to make JMO" and frantically tried to do more problems.

I didn't realize that the AIME was hard, so... I failed.
