Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumradius $R$ and inradius $r$. If $p$ is the inradius of the orthic triangle of triangle $ABC$, show that $\frac{p}{R} \leq 1 - \frac{\left(1+\frac{r}{R}\right)^2}{3}$.
[i]Note.[/i] The orthic triangle of triangle $ABC$ is defined as the triangle whose vertices are the feet of the altitudes of triangle $ABC$.

$p=2R\cos A\cos B\cos C,1+\frac{r}{R}=1+4\sin A/2\sin B/2\sin C/2=\cos A+\cos B+\cos C$.
Thus, the ineqaulity is equivalent to $6\cos A\cos B\cos C+(\cos A+\cos B+\cos C)^2\le3$. But this is easy since $\cos A+\cos B+\cos C\le3/2,\cos A\cos B\cos C\le1/8$.

I note the inradius $r'$ of a orthic triangle.
Must prove the inequality $\frac{r'}{R}\le 1-\frac 13\left( 1+\frac rR\right)^2.$
From the wellknown relations $r'=2R\cos A\cos B\cos C$
and $\cos A\cos B\cos C\le \frac 18$ results $\frac{r'}{R}\le \frac 14.$
But $\frac 14\le 1-\frac 13\left( 1+\frac rR\right)^2\Longleftrightarrow \frac 13\left( 1+\frac rR\right)^2\le \frac 34\Longleftrightarrow$
$\left(1+\frac rR\right)^2\le \left(\frac 32\right)^2\Longleftrightarrow 1+\frac rR\le \frac 32\Longleftrightarrow \frac rR\le \frac 12\Longleftrightarrow 2r\le R$ (true).
Therefore, $\frac{r'}{R}\le \frac 14\le 1-\frac 13\left( 1+\frac rR\right)^2\Longrightarrow \frac{r'}{R}\le 1-\frac 13\left( 1+\frac rR\right)^2.$
