Peer reviewedStone, Michael E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1994
The question "What shape will have the largest area for a given perimeter?" identifies an important relationship between area and perimeter that has long been intuitively realized in many cultures. Historically, numerous cultures have made use of this relationship between area and perimeter when struggling to build dwellings with shapes…
