Hello teacher~
The perimeter of a right triangel ABC is 2a.
Find the scope of hypotenuse x.
Answer : 2{sqrt(2) - 1}a <= x < a.
---------------------------------------------------
Ok, let's go...
hypotenuse : x
base : c
altitude : d
c + d + x = 2a
c^2 + d^2 = x^2
c + d > x
(i) If x >= a, then c + d = 2a - x <= a <= x.
contradiction.
(ii) By Cauchy-Schwarz inequality,
(c + d)^2 <= (1^2 + 1^2)(c^2 + d^2)
so, (c + d)^2 <= 2.(x^2)
so, (2a - x)^2 <= 2.(x^2)
so, 2.(x^2) - (2a - x)^2 >= 0
so, 2.(x^2) - [4a^2 - 4ax + x^2] >= 0
so, x^2 + 4ax - 4a^2 >= 0
so, x <= 2a{-1 - sqrt(2)} , x >= 2a(-1 + sqrt(2)}
so, 2{sqrt(2) - 1}a <= x < a. |

Unless: a = 0.
In that case: a <= x <= a, that is: a = x.
That assuming: a = a.
No guarantee...

x is minimun when c+d is maximum.
Guessing that c+d is maximum when
c = d; we surmise that
2*c^2 = x^2 Then
Sqrt(2)*c = x = sqrt(2)*d
c = x/sqrt(2) = d
2*a = x/sqrt(2) + x/sqrt(2) +x
= sqrt(2)*x + x
2*a = x*(1 +sqrt*2)
2*a/[1 +sqrt(2)] < = x
