Write the value of `theta in (0, pi/2)` for which area of the triangle formed by points `O(0,0), A(a costheta, b sintheta) `and `B(a costheta, -b sintheta)` is maximum.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given`O(0,0), A(a costheta, b sintheta)`and `B(acostheta, -b sintheta)`
Area=`1/2[x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]`
=`1/2[acostheta(-bsintheta)+acostheta(-bsintheta)]`
=`abcosthetasintheta`
For maximum `theta =pi/4`
or area=`1/2ab`
