To solve the problem, we need to show that the area of a right-angled triangle is maximized when the angle between the hypotenuse and one of the sides is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) radians (or 60 degrees). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Draw the Right-Angled Triangle**: - Let triangle ABC be a right-angled triangle with the right angle at B. Let AB = x (one side), BC = y (the hypotenuse), and AC be the other side. 2. **Set Up the Equation for the Sum**: ...
