Problem 5

Let d be the sum of lengths of all diagonals of a convex n-gon, n>3, and p its perimeter. Prove n−3<2dp<⌊n2⌋⌊n+12⌋−2n-3<\frac{2d}{p}<\left\lfloor\frac n2\right\rfloor\left\lfloor\frac{n+1}{2}\right\rfloor-2.

Detailed analysis

For odd and even nn, the resulting expressions equal the stated floor product, proving both strict inequalities.
