\n" ); document.write( "NOTE: A rectangle INSCRIBED in a circle is ALWAYS a SQUARE IF you have to get MAXIMUM area.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "let \"A\",\"+B\",\"+C\",and \"D\" be the vertices of the square \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the diagonals \"AC\" and diagonal \"BD\" will intersect at right angles so\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the side of a square is \"A=+sqrt%28+r%5E2+%2B+r%5E2+%29=+sqrt%282+r%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "MAXIMUM area is: \"A+=sqrt%282+r%5E2%29%2Asqrt%282+r%5E2%29=%28+sqrt%282+r%5E2%29%29%5E2+=2+r%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
