Question

Determine the dimensions of the largest rectangle that can fit inside of the ellipse

(x^2/4)+(y^2/16)=1

Answer 1

im getting:
\[2\sqrt{2} \]
for the width and
\[4\sqrt{2}\]
for the height.
i can scan my work and post if needed,

Answer 2

that would be nice, i just need to see how its done, and hopefully i can figure it out from there

Answer 3

you took the derivative of the area of the rectangle to maximize correct o.0?

Answer 4

also, couldve you hav solved for x instead of y and work the problem for there o.0?
