If A is the area and 2s the sum of the sides of a triangle,thenA. `Ale (s^2)/(4)`B. `Ale(s^2)/(3sqrt(3))`C. `Alt (s^2)/(sqrt(3)`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
We have
`2s = a + b + c`
`A^(2) = s (s - a) (s - b)(s - c)`
Now,
`A.M. ge G.M`
`implies (s + (s - a) + (s - b) + (s - c))/(4) ge [s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)]^(1//4)`
`implies (4s - 2s)/(4) ge [A^(2)]^(1//4)`
`implies s//2 ge A^(1//2)` or `A le s^(2)//4`
Also,
`((s - a) + (s - b) + (s - c))/(3) ge [(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)]^(1//3)`
`implies (s)/(3) ge [(A^(2))/(s)]^(1//3)`
or `(A^(2))/(s) le (s^(3))/(27)`
or `A le (s^(2))/(3sqrt(3))`
