A rectangle is to be inscribed in a right triangle having sides 6 inches, 8 inches, and 10 inches. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle with greatest area.
I recently tried doing it and the answer was found by finding the slope and then using the first and second derivatives of the area.
Now I would like to know how to solve this by using proportions.
So if there are any suggestions whatsoever, Thanks.
