MHB Maxima and minima of a triangle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around deriving formulas for specific triangle properties. The first query seeks the minimum perimeter of a triangle given the heights corresponding to sides a and b. The second question asks for the maximum height and minimum height corresponding to side b, based solely on the perimeter and height of side a. Participants clarify the need for precise mathematical expressions to address these inquiries. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding triangle geometry for accurate calculations.

Write the following formulas:

a) The minimum perimeter of any triangle (abc) only known heights corresponding to the sides a and b.

b) The maximum height and minimum corresponding to the side b of any triangle (abc) only known the value of its perimeter and height corresponding to the side a.

Adrian,

I could be wrong, but I think the OP mistakenly posted a question with which they want help here. :)
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
