Consider the following for the two items that follow: Let ABC be a triangle right-angled at B and AB + AC = 3 units.
What is the maximum area of the triangle?
√3/2 square unit
The maximum area occurs when the angle between the two sides is 90°, and the area is given by the formula for the area of a right triangle. This yields a maximum area of √3/2 square units.
