Suppose that a and b are the side lengths in a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 10cm long. Show that the area of the triangle is largest when a=b?

Question

zarkon · Answer

know $$a^2+b^2=10^2$$

$$A=\frac{1}{2}a\cdot b$$

solve the first equation for a or b ... put into the second ...diff..setequal to zero...yad yad yad ;)
