A rectangle is to be inscribed in a semicircle of radius r with its base touching that of the semicircle. What are the dimensions of rectangle if its area is to be maximized?
Dimensions:_____________r X _______________r
Does anyone have any idea how to do this problem. I really think my calc professor has it out for his students and these problems seem ridiculous. Thanks for any help provided.
