To solve the problem of finding the dimensions of a rectangle inscribed in a semicircle of radius \( r \) such that its area is maximized, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have a semicircle of radius \( r \) with its diameter along the x-axis. The rectangle will have its base on the diameter, and its top corners will touch the semicircle. ### Step 2: Define Variables Let: - \( x \) = half the width of the rectangle (from the center to one side) ...
