The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the areas of a square, a circle, and an equilateral triangle, all of which have the same perimeter. We will evaluate the two statements provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Perimeter**: Let the perimeter \( P \) be the same for all three shapes. 2. **Perimeter of the Square**: The perimeter of a square with side length \( a \) is given by: \[ P = 4a \implies a = \frac{P}{4} \] 3. **Perimeter of the Circle**: The perimeter (circumference) of a circle with radius \( r \) is given by: \[ P = 2\pi r \implies r = \frac{P}{2\pi} \] 4. **Perimeter of the Equilateral Triangle**: The perimeter of an equilateral triangle with side length \( b \) is given by: \[ P = 3b \implies b = \frac{P}{3} \] 5. **Calculate the Areas**: - **Area of the Square**: \[ \text{Area}_{\text{square}} = a^2 = \left(\frac{P}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{P^2}{16} \] - **Area of the Circle**: \[ \text{Area}_{\text{circle}} = \pi r^2 = \pi \left(\frac{P}{2\pi}\right)^2 = \frac{P^2}{4\pi} \] - **Area of the Equilateral Triangle**: The area of an equilateral triangle is given by: \[ \text{Area}_{\text{triangle}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} b^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \left(\frac{P}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3} P^2}{36} \] 6. **Compare Areas**: - **Statement I**: The area of the square is greater than the area of the triangle. \[ \frac{P^2}{16} \text{ vs } \frac{\sqrt{3} P^2}{36} \] To compare, we can simplify: \[ \frac{P^2}{16} \cdot \frac{36}{P^2} \text{ vs } \sqrt{3} \implies \frac{36}{16} \text{ vs } \sqrt{3} \implies 2.25 \text{ vs } 1.732 \] Since \( 2.25 > 1.732 \), Statement I is **True**. - **Statement II**: The area of the circle is less than the area of the triangle. \[ \frac{P^2}{4\pi} \text{ vs } \frac{\sqrt{3} P^2}{36} \] To compare: \[ \frac{P^2}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{36}{P^2} \text{ vs } \sqrt{3} \implies \frac{36}{4\pi} \text{ vs } \sqrt{3} \implies \frac{9}{\pi} \text{ vs } 1.732 \] Since \( \frac{9}{3.14} \approx 2.87 > 1.732 \), Statement II is **False**. ### Conclusion: - Statement I is **True**. - Statement II is **False**. Thus, the correct answer is that only Statement I is correct.
