1+r⁄R = cosA + cosB + cosC. We know that maximum value of cosA + cosB + cosC = 3/2. So cosA + cosB + cosC ≤ 3/2. Therefore, r/R ≤ 1/2, hence, R≥2r. This is the proof of this inequality! And yes, the equality holds true for an equilateral triangle, as cos(60)+cos(60)+cos(60)=3/2. So, R≥2(2015) i.e., 4030.
