Isoperimetric Inequalities

Isoperimetric inequalities relate to the relationship between a shape's perimeter (or boundary length) and its area. They state that among all shapes with the same perimeter, a circle has the maximum area; equivalently, among shapes with a given area, a circle has the smallest perimeter. These inequalities help us understand how efficiently a shape encloses space, often used in geometry, physics, and optimization problems to identify the most "efficient" shape for containing or enclosing a given amount of space.
