Prove that, if $d_a$, $d_b$, $d_c$ are distances between the center of circumscribed circle and acute triangle sides ($a$, $b$, $c$ accordingly), then
$$d_a+d_b+d_c=R+r$$
I didn't do much, because I can not quite think of anything useful except somehow using this equations
$$d_aa+d_bb+d_cc=(a+b+c)\cdot r= 2S=2\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}$$
$$R=\frac{abc}{4S}$$
Where $S$ is area, $r$ is inradius, $R$ is circumradius, and $p$ is perimeter divided by two.

For the acute triangle $ABC$ with the circumcenter $O$
\begin{align} \angle CAB&=\alpha ,\quad \angle ABC=\beta ,\quad \angle BCA=\gamma ,\\ \angle COB&=2\alpha ,\quad \angle AOC=2\beta ,\quad \angle BOA=2\gamma . \end{align}
Triangles $COB$, $AOC$ and $BOA$ are isosceles, hence
\begin{align} \angle COD&=\alpha ,\quad \angle AOE=\beta ,\quad \angle BOF=\gamma \end{align}
and \begin{align} d_a=|OD|&=R\cos\alpha ,\\ d_b=|OE|&=R\cos\beta ,\\ d_c=|OF|&=R\cos\gamma ,\\ d_a+d_b+d_c&= R(\cos\alpha+\cos\beta+\cos\gamma) . \end{align}
And it is well-known that for any triangle
\begin{align} \cos\alpha+\cos\beta+\cos\gamma&=\frac rR+1 ,\\ \text{so, }\quad d_a+d_b+d_c&= R\cdot\left(\frac rR+1\right) =r+R . \end{align}
