Many of these already fascinated the Greeks, for example, the problem of enclosing the largest possible area by a fence of given length, and some were solved long ago; but others remain unsolved even today. Some of the solutions of the problems posed in this book, for example the problem of inscribing a triangle of smallest perimeter into a given triangle, were supplied by world famous mathematicians, other by high school students.Geometry, PlaneInequalities (Mathematics)Geometry, Plane.Inequalities (Mathematics)513.1Kazarinoff Nicholas D41085MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971363803321Geometric inequalities81658UNINA
