Maxima and minima of a triangle

In summary, the maximum value of a triangle is the largest possible measure for one of its angles, while the minimum value is the smallest possible measure for one of its angles. This can be determined by using the Triangle Inequality Theorem, and a triangle can only have one maximum and one minimum value. Knowing these values is significant in determining the possible sizes and shapes of a triangle and can also assist in solving geometric problems or constructing triangles. The maximum and minimum values of a triangle's angles are related to the sum of its angles, while the maximum and minimum values of its sides are determined by the size of its angles.

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. :)
