The perimeter of a triangle is 8 cm. If one of the sides is 3 cm , what are the other two sides for the area of the triangle to be maximum 

Dear Student,
Alternatively, since perimeter = 8, then semi perimeter = 4. Let the side lengths be denoted as a, b, and c. We are given that a = 3. We would like to determine b and c. Therefore, by Heron's formula, the area of triangle is given by,
