An Isoperimetric Theorem Obtained by Elementary Means

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

It is usually considered that the solution of isoperimetric problems is only to be achieved through the medium of the more or less advanced technique of variation calculus. The following theorem is derived using only the notions of pure geometry and elementary calculus, and is interesting since the method of proof is easily extended to several other problems of the same type.
