There is a rectangle inside a semi-circle.
Semicircle equation: Square root(16-x^2) --- that's the square root of 16 - x-squared.
What is the largest possible area of the rectangle that can fit into the semicircle, assuming two points of the rectangle are on the semicircle, and the length of the rectangle is the x axis...
I know when people post homework questions on here, it always annoys me, but now I need help...
To the best of my knowledge:
After you work out the semicircle equation, you get a semicircle with a radius 4
Then you use a calculator to find the sides of the rectangle, but that's where im stuck!
Please help! I have a quiz on this, (and my teacher in not the best) and I need to keep my A
