A Metric Framework for Triangle Inequalities via Barycentric Coordinates

Abstract

This paper presents a unified metric-based framework for triangle geometric inequalities using barycentric coordinates. By interpreting classical inequalities as squared distances between points(a process termed metricization)we derive and refine numerous well-known inequalities. Furthermore, the squared-distance function ELD_I, measures distances from the incenter to points on the Euler line, also yielding generalized inequalities. The method offers geometric clarity and extends naturally to higher-dimensional and non-Euclidean settings.
