Really need a Calc expert! A rectangle (positioned askew) inscribed in a right triangle, maximize area?

A rectangle is to be inscribed in a right triangle having sides of length 6(ground leg), 8 (standing leg), and 10 in (hypotenuse). Find the dimensions of the rectangle with the greatest area assuming the rectangle is positioned with one side running directly on the hypotenuse (so like tipped up on one side). Need explanation! [...]

How do i find the area of triangle knowing 3 sides?

I know you have to take the sum of 3 sides first then use that to subtract each what you do next??
4. What is the area of triangle ABC if a=8,b=10, and c=15?
5. What is the area of traingle ABC if a=42, b=17, and c=25?
It’s called Heron’s formula:

Working out side of a triangle using given 2 sides and area?

I have been given the triangle ABC.
AB=3.2cm
BC=8.4cm
The area of triangle ABC is 10cm²
There are no right angles.
Basically, I need to find the perimeter, so I need the missing side first.
Any ideas on how to do this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
One standard formula for the area of a triangle is
Area = 1/2 a.c [...]

What is the relationship between angles in a triangle and the resulting area of the triangle?

1. How does the size of an angle in a given triangle relate to the Area of the triangle?
2. How does the sin of an angle relate to the area?
3. When graphing the area of a triangle against Sin(theta), a straight line is produced. What does the slope and [...]

How do you find the area of a triangle using the determinant of a matrix, only working backwards?

Find x, such that the triangle has an area of 4.
(-5, 1), (0, 2), (-2, x)
Can someone please help me solve for x using a graphing calculator?
Thanks!
I hope you’ll understand what i’m going` to write (i’m from Romania, in the last year of high school)
First of all, I would note the determinant of the matrix [...]

Confused with this triangle area problem?

"The sum of the area of two triangles is 120cm^2. The triangles overlap to create another triangle, which is shaded. If 2/3 of the smaller triangle is unshaded, and 8/9 of the larger triangle is unshaded, what is the area of the shaded overlapping triangle?"
I tried to set up a system relating the two, but [...]
