Algebra.Com's Answer #17352 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! For a right triangle, if the length of the hypotenuse is 6 and one side is x. How large could x be to maximize the area. \n" ); document.write( "USING PYTOGARUS THEOREM \n" ); document.write( "OTHER LEG =SQUARE ROOT OF (6^2-X^2)=SQRT.(36-X^2) \n" ); document.write( "AREA = (1/2)*(X)*SQRT.(36-X^2) \n" ); document.write( "SQUARING AREA WILL BE MAXIMUM WHEN \n" ); document.write( " Y= X^2(36-X^2) IS MAXIMUM...PUT P=X^2........ \n" ); document.write( "Y=P(36-P)=36P-P^2 SHALL BE MAXIMUM \n" ); document.write( "=-{P^2-2*P*18+18^2-18^2)=18^2-(P-18)^2...SHALL BE MAXIMUM..THAT HAPPENS WHEN \n" ); document.write( "(P-18)=0...OR....P=18=X^2...OR X=SQRT(18)=3*SQRT.(2)=3*1.41=4.23 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
