Let $ABC$ be a triangle with semiperimeter $s$ and inradius $r$. The semicircles with diameters $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ are drawn on the outside of the triangle $ABC$. The circle tangent to all of these three semicircles has radius $t$. Prove that \[\frac{s}{2}<t\le\frac{s}{2}+\left(1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)r. \] [i]Alternative formulation.[/i] In a triangle $ABC$, construct circles with diameters $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$, respectively.
