A right triangle would give you the maximum area.
\n" ); document.write( "Assume 10 is the base, the maximum height you could have is 7, when it's a right triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "Any other angle, would reduce the height while maintaining the leg length at 7.
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5Bmax%5D=%281%2F2%29%287%29%2810%29=35\"
