Area / Perimeter Ratio (Posted on 2024-01-04)

The triangle 5,12,13 has an area A=30 and a perimeter P=30, so A/P is 1.
The triangle 9,75,78 has an area A=324 and a perimeter P=162, so A/P is 2.

Find the smallest and largest integer-sided triangles where A/P is 10.

Smallest Triangle: [65, 70, 75] Perimeter (P)= 210, Area(A) = 2100
Largest Triangle: [160801, 402, and 161201 ]
P = 322,404 and: A= 3,224,040
It would be observed that in both the cases: A/P =10
