To name the parallelogram having the greatest area for a given perimeter.
Answer to Problem 30PSC
The parallelogram having the greatest area for a given perimeter is square.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A parallelogram having greatest area and certain perimeter.
The parallelogram having the greatest area for a given perimeter is square because the length and width are the same.
Area of square is given by product of length and width.
In square, all sides are equal.
The magnitude of area will be larger because both values of length and width are same.
In case of other parallelogram, the length and width are different.This will result into area of certain value which is not as great as square.
