Viviani's Theorem proves this for isosceles triangles. If you take a look at

http://www.cut-the-knot.org/triangle/VivianiByVectors.shtml

where it is proved for equilateral triangles, you should be able to see that it applies equally well to arbitrary triangles.

If not, you may be able to find a suitable extension to Viviani's Theorem.
