You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call the distance around the perimeter,
Let the length =
Let the width =
The formula for perimeter is:
given:
When the width is close to zero, I get
so, I can say:
------------

If you plot on the horizontal and on the vertical, the solutions are only valid between and
The line you plot looks like
which is the area under this line between and
