Give examples of two triangles, ABC and DEF with the area of ABC greater than the area of DEF, but the perimeter of DEF greater than the perimeter of ABC
Added by Ian B.
Step 1
Let's take triangle ABC with sides AB = 6, BC = 8, and AC = 10. The area of this triangle can be calculated using Heron's formula as: s = (6+8+10)/2 = 12 Area(ABC) = sqrt(s(s-AB)(s-BC)(s-AC)) = sqrt(12*6*4*2) = 24 Now, let's take triangle DEF with sides DE = 5, Show more…
