Application of Derivatives of Trig Functions |
2009-05-21 |
|
Alannah pose la question : I have a word problem from my Calculus textbook that I can't figure out.
Triangle ABC is inscribed in a semicircle with diameter BC=10cm. Find the value of angle B that produces the triangle of maximum area.
I am supposed to set up an equation for the area of the triangle A=b x h/2 using Trig functions based on angle B to represent the base and height but I'm not sure how to do this when the side length given is not the hypotenuse. Janice Cotcher lui répond. |
