Good solution !!
Pls elaborate this AM GM thing

First and foremost thing about A.M G.M H.M inequality is it is defined only for positive reals.
A.M-arithmetic mean,G.M-geometric mean,H.M-harmonic mean
A.M G.M H.M inequality for a,b,terms where a,b ∈ positive reals
2 a + b ≥ 2 a b ≥ a 1 + b 1 2

Oh!! Thank you so much!!
It is Arithematic mean geometric mean inequality A.M>G.M (X1+X2+...+Xn)/n≥(X1* X2 ..... Xn)^1/n
(*= multiplication)
Awesome !!!!
But the perimeter is 8 the semi perimeter will not be 8 .
Will u please explain what have u done in second step?

He's showing that as 3 3 s − a − b − c ≥ [ ( s − a ) ( s − b ) ( s − c ) ] 3 1 Thus we can say that 3 3 s − 2 s ≥ [ ( s − a ) ( s − b ) ( s − c ) ] 3 1 as a + b + c = 2 s
I've taken (s-a),(s-b)&(s-c) as three integers.
Now, since the AM(arithmetic mean)of two or more integers is always greater than or equal to the G.M(geometric mean).
Therefore, 3 ( s − a ) + ( s − b ) + ( s − c ) ≥ [ ( s − a ) ( s − b ) ( s − c ) ] 3 1
For more details on AM-GM inequality see this https://brilliant.org/wiki/arithmetic-mean-geometric-mean/
Sir 2 step i didnt get(s-a).....-s
I don't understood the second step
s=(a+b+c)/2 (or s=perimeter/2) a b c are sides of triangle
A=√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) It will be max when (s-a)(s-b)(s-c) is max. Clearly its maximum when a=b=c=2s/3=perimeter/3 substitute and get ans
Other solution using ap >= gp>=hp A=√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) as AP>=GP ≤ √s((s-a+s-b+s-c)/3)³ = √s(s/3)³ = √s⁴/3³ = s²/3√3 S=8/2 or 4 Substitute and get ans
ANS=16/3√3
In △ P Q R let b = P Q , a = P R , and θ = ∠ P .
The area of the triangle is A = 2 1 b h = 2 1 b a sin θ . Now consider a small deformation of the triangle, moving points Q and R without changing the angle at P , such that now a ↦ a + d x , b ↦ b − d x . If the triangle is maximal, then the area should remain constant under such infinitesimal change. Therefore we write 0 = d A = 2 1 ( b d a + a d b ) sin θ = 2 1 ( b d x − a d x ) sin θ . This implies that a = b for the maximal triangle.
It follows that the desired triangle is equilateral, with sides 8 / 3 and height 8 / 3 . This gives an area of 1 6 / 3 3 .
If the triangle is maximal, then the area should remain constant
Don't you have to prove the area can obtain a maximum value but can't obtain a minimum value?

The area can attain a minimum value when a side or angle becomes zero. This seemed so obvious that I did not include it in the solution.
Area of any shape is maximum when its symmetrical....and so in case of triangle it will be equilateral triangle. So side= a =8/3 And area=(√3a^2/4)
Sir i lik your idea/logic but can you please give a prove.
This is just a hunch
