    The Erdős-Mordell inequality states that if \(P\) is a point in the interior of a triangle \(ABC\) whose distances from the vertices of the triangle are \(p\), \(q\) and \(r\) and from its sides are \(x\), \(y\) and \(z\); then: \(p+q+r\geq 2(x+y+z).\) In this paper a short elementary algebraic proof of this fact is given.
