A triangle of area 1 with sides \(a \leq b \leq c\) is given. Prove that \(b \geq \sqrt{2}\).

In the quadrilateral \(ABCD\), the angles \(A\) and \(B\) are equal, and \(\angle D > \angle C\). Prove that \(AD < BC\).

In the trapezoid \(ABCD\), the angles at the base \(AD\) satisfy the inequalities \(\angle A < \angle D < 90^{\circ}\). Prove that \(AC > BD\).

Prove that if two opposite angles of a quadrilateral are obtuse, then the diagonal connecting the vertices of these angles is shorter than the other diagonal.

Prove that the sum of the distances from an arbitrary point to three vertices of an isosceles trapezium is greater than the distance from this point to the fourth vertex.

Prove that if the angles of a convex pentagon form an arithmetic progression, then each of them is greater than \(36^{\circ}\).

On a line segment of length 1, \(n\) points are given. Prove that the sum of the distances from some point out of the ones on the segment to these points is no less than \(n / 2\).

Prove that \(\angle ABC < \angle BAC\) if and only if \(AC < BC\), that is, the larger side lies opposite the larger angle of the triangle, and opposite the larger side lies the larger angle.
