I don't know where to post this question, so I am posting it here.
Take any n points in a plane and let D and d be the greatest and least distances determined by points of this set. Prove that 2D > sqrt(3) [sqrt(n)-1]d.
If it is easy, give hint.

I was not able to find a way, but I was thinking maybe you can use induction. Assume it works forthen it must work for
. The first case with
is clearly true because it leads to,
Which is clearly true because,
But forI was having difficulty.

How do you know that this inequality is true?
Is it a known theorem?
