Section 12-8

course Mth 275

Section 12.8Another very interesting section. I had no problems with any of the questions, although they did take a considerable amount of time to complete. Number 39 asks for a proof that for a given perimeter, the triangle with the greatest area is equilateral?sing Heron? formula and Lagrange multipliers. The solution to this problem provides a very simple and elegant proof.

Very good. Let me know if you have specific questions.
