Problem Statement

(a) Let there be two given points A,BA,B in the plane. i. Find the triangles MABMAB with the given area and the minimal perimeter. ii. Find the triangles MABMAB with a given perimeter and the maximal area. (b) In a tetrahedron of volume VV, let a,b,c,da,b,c,d be the lengths of its four edges, no three of which are coplanar, and let L=a+b+c+dL=a+b+c+d. Determine the maximum value of VL3\frac V{L^3}.
