Hi,

I hav this maths coursework that i hav to do, which involves finding the shape with the greatest area with a perimeter of 1000 metres.
Obviously its the circle, but i now hav to figure out how and why tan graphs relate to why a circle will hav a greater area than any polygon of the same perimeter, no matter how many sides it has.
Could you explain to me how the tan graph can explain this.

Thanks,

TG
