What is the perimeter for a polygon that's area is 20sq. units?
Even if you knew how many sides the polygon has, you stillcould not calculate its perimeter with that much information.Examples:-- An equilateral triangle with area of 20 has perimeter of 20.3885 .-- A square with area of 20 has perimeter of 17.889(rounded).-- A rectangle with area of 20 can have any perimeter more than 17.889 .4 by 5 . . . . area = 20, perimeter = 182 by 10 . . . area = 20, perimeter = 241 by 20 . . . area = 20, perimeter = 42..etc.
Why does the greatest area equal the greatest perimeter?
Because area is a function of perimeter.
What is the least area if the perimeter is 40?
zero is the least area and the max area, is of a circle of perimeter 40 .....
