Maxima and minima of a triangle

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the minimum perimeter of a triangle given the heights corresponding to sides a and b, as well as determining the maximum height and minimum height corresponding to side b when the perimeter and height corresponding to side a are known. The formulas for these calculations are essential for geometric optimization problems involving triangles. Adrian's comment suggests a potential misunderstanding by the original poster regarding the nature of their inquiry.

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. :)
