There is no "greatest" possible perimeter.

There's a smallest possible perimeter.  That's a square.
Since the area is 6 square centimeters, each side of the square is
√6 = about 2.45 cm, and the perimeter is about  9.8 cm (rounded).

But there's no 'greatest' perimeter.  You can take that square
and if you're careful, you can make it into rectangles that all have
the same area ... 6 square cm ... but the longer and skinnier
you make it, the greater the perimeter will be. 
You can give me a number as big as you want, and I can make
a rectangle with a perimeter of your number, but an area of only
6 square centimeters !

Here are some few examples.  They all have
the same area, but different perimeters:

2.45 cm by 2.45 cm ...   Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 9.8 cm

2 cm by 3 cm ...              Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 10 cm
1.5 cm by 4 cm ...           Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 11 cm
1.2 cm by 5 cm ...           Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 12.4 cm
1 cm by 6 cm ...              Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 14 cm
0.8 cm by 7.5 cm ...        Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 16.6 cm
0.6 cm by 10 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 21.2 cm
0.5 cm by 12 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 25 cm
0.4 cm by 15 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 30.8 cm
0.3 cm by 20 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 40.6 cm
0.2 cm by 30 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 60.4 cm
0.1 cm by 60 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 120.2 cm

0.001cm by 6,000cm ... Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 12,000.2 cm

Determine whether the three segment lengths will produce a triangle. Type yes or no in the space provided.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how to know if the lengths of the three segments

 can formed a triangle

- It is a fact that in any triangle the sum of the smallest two sides

 must be greater than the largest side

- Lets study some examples

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 6 , 7

∵ 5 and 6 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 6 = 11

∵ 11 > 7 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 6 , 7 can formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 7 , 12

∵ 5 and 7 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 7 = 12

∵ 12 = 12 ⇒ the sum equal the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 7 , 12 can not formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 10 , 12 , 24

∵ 10 and 12 are the smallest

∴ 10 + 12 = 22

∵ 22 < 24 ⇒ the sum less than the 3rd side

∴ 10 , 12 , 24 can not formed a triangle

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the three segments are 20 , 20 , 30

∵ 20 and 20 are the smallest

∴ 20 + 20 = 40

∵ 40 > 30 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle
