The perimeters of two triangles A and B are the same.

Column A
Area of the equilateral triangle A

Column B
Area of the right angled triangle B

The OA is A. Help plz.

Note: For a given perimeter, an equilateral triangle will have the largest area amongst all types of triangles

So, between the equilateral triangle and right angled triangle, equilateral triangle will have the larger area.

column A > column B

hey thanks.

does this hold good for other polygons too?

for instance, will a square have the largest area for a given perimeter for all quadrilaterals?
