Rectangles are inscribed inside a semicircle of radius r. Find the rectangle with maximum area.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the rectangle with the maximum area inscribed in a semicircle of radius \( r \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the variables Let the width of the rectangle be \( 2x \) (since it is symmetrical about the y-axis) and the height be \( y \). ### Step 2: Use the Pythagorean theorem Since the rectangle is inscribed in a semicircle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The relationship between \( x \), \( y \), and the radius \( r \) of the semicircle is given by: \[ ...
