Question 21

Prove that there exists a number $\alpha$ such that for any triangle $A B C$ the inequality
$$
\max \left(h_{A}, h_{B}, h_{C}\right) \leq \alpha \cdot \min \left(m_{A}, m_{B}, m_{C}\right)
$$
holds, where $h_{A}, h_{B}, h_{C}$ denote the lengths of the altitudes and $m_{A}, m_{B}, m_{C}$ denote the lengths of the medians. Find the smallest possible value of $\alpha$.
