For $a+b+c=1$ and $a,b,c > 0$
Prove that: $\frac{13}{27} \le a^2+b^2+c^2+4abc \le \frac{1}{2}$

Let $a,b,c$ be side lengths of a triangle with $a+b+c = 1$ . Prove that $a^2 +b^2 +c^2 +4abc \le \frac12$ 1990 ITAMO
Let $a, b$ and $c$ be the lengths of the sides of a triangle $ABC$ . If $a+b+c = 1.$ Prove that

${{1}\over{a^2}}+{{1}\over{b^2}}+{{1}\over{c^2}}+{{1}\over{4abc}}\geq \ 32$
