(A) Let the sides of the triangle $ABC$ be $a, b, c$ units and the corresponding altitudes be $h_1, h_2, h_3$ units respectively.Then the perimeter is $a + b + c = 2S$ and the area is $P = \frac{1}{2}(ah_1) = \frac{1}{2}(bh_2) = \frac{1}{2}(ch_3)$.This implies $h_1 = \frac{2P}{a}, h_2 = \frac{2P}{b}, h_3 = \frac{2P}{c}$.Now,consider the expression $P^2 \left[ \frac{(h_1 h_2 + h_2 h_3 + h_3 h_1)^2}{h_1^2 h_2^2 h_3^2} - 2 \right]$.Substituting the values of $h_1, h_2, h_3$:$= P^2 \left[ \frac{(\frac{4P^2}{ab} + \frac{4P^2}{bc} + \frac{4P^2}{ca})^2}{(\frac{8P^3}{abc})^2} - 2 \right]$$= P^2 \left[ \frac{16P^4 (\frac{c+a+b}{abc})^2}{\frac{64P^6}{a^2b^2c^2}} - 2 \right]$$= P^2 \left[ \frac{16P^4 (\frac{2S}{abc})^2}{\frac{64P^6}{a^2b^2c^2}} - 2 \right]$$= P^2 \left[ \frac{16P^4 \cdot \frac{4S^2}{a^2b^2c^2}}{\frac{64P^6}{a^2b^2c^2}} - 2 \right]$$= P^2 \left[ \frac{64P^4S^2}{64P^6} - 2 \right]$$= P^2 \left[ \frac{S^2}{P^2} - 2 \right] = S^2 - 2P^2$.

$A$ triangle $ABC$ has area of $P$ square units and perimeter $2S$ units. If $h_1, h_2$ and $h_3$ are respectively the lengths of the altitudes of the triangle drawn from the vertices $A, B$ and $C$,then $P^2 \left[ \frac{(h_1 h_2 + h_2 h_3 + h_3 h_1)^2}{h_1^2 h_2^2 h_3^2} - 2 \right] =$
