To show that the area of triangle ABC is maximum when it is isosceles, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Geometry Let AB be the diameter of the circle, and C be any point on the circle. Since AB is the diameter, angle ACB is a right angle (by Thales' theorem). ### Step 2: Set Up the Problem Let: - The length of the diameter AB = 2A. ...
