The perimeters of a circle, a square, and an equilateral triangle are equal. Which one of the following statements is true?
The circle has the largest area.
For common perimeter P, the areas are:
\(A_c=\frac{P^2}{4\pi},\quad A_s=\frac{P^2}{16},\quad A_t=\frac{P^2}{12\sqrt3}\)
Since 4π < 16 < 12√3, the circle has the largest area.
