उत्तर
Let AB be the diameter and C be any point on the circle with radius r.
∠ACB = 90° ......[angle in the semi-circle is 90°]
Let AC = x
∴ BC = `sqrt("AB"^2 - "AC"^2)`
⇒ BC = `sqrt((2"r")^2 - x^2)`
⇒ BC = `sqrt(4"r"^2 - x^2)` ....(i)
Now area of ∆ABC
A = `1/2 xx "AC" xx "BC"`
⇒ A = `1/2 x * sqrt(4"r"^2 - x^2)`
Squaring both sides, we get
A2 = `1/4 x^2 (4"r"^2 - x^2)`
Let A2 = Z
∴ Z = `1/4 x^2(4"r"^2 - x^2)`
⇒ Z = `1/4(4x^2"r"^2 - x^4)`
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
`"dZ"/"dx" = 1/4 [8x"r"^2 - 4x^3]` ....(ii)
For local maxima and local minima `"dZ"/"dx"` = 0
∴ `1/4 [8x"r"^2 - 4x^3]` = 0
⇒ `x[2"r"^2 - x^2]` = 0
x ≠ 0
∴ 2r2 – x2 = 0
⇒ x2 = 2r2
⇒ x = `sqrt(2)"r"`
= AC
Now from equation (i) we have
BC = `sqrt(4"r"^2 - 2"r"^2)`
⇒ BC = `sqrt(2"r"^2)`
⇒ BC = `sqrt(2)"r"`
So AC = BC
Hence, ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Differentiating equation (ii) w.r.t. x, we get
`("d"^2"Z")/("dx"^2) = 1/4 [8"r"^2 - 12x^2]`
Put x = `sqrt(2)"r"`
∴ `("d"^2"Z")/("dx"^2) = 1/4 [8"r"^2 - 12 xx 2"r"^2]`
= `1/4[8"r"^2 - 24"r"^2]`
= `1/4 xx (-16"r"^2)`
= `-4"r"^2 < 0` maxima
Hence, the area of ∆ABC is maximum when it is an isosceles triangle.

The rectangle has area of 50 cm2. Complete the following activity to find its dimensions for least perimeter.
Solution: Let x cm and y cm be the length and breadth of a rectangle.
Then its area is xy = 50
∴ `y =50/x`
Perimeter of rectangle `=2(x+y)=2(x+50/x)`
Let f(x) `=2(x+50/x)`
Then f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`
Now,f'(x) = 0, if x = `square`
But x is not negative.
∴ `x = root(5)(2) "and" f^('')(root(5)(2))=square>0`
∴ by the second derivative test f is minimum at x = `root(5)(2)`
When x = `root(5)(2),y=50/root(5)(2)=root(5)(2)`
∴ `x=root(5)(2) "cm" , y = root(5)(2) "cm"`
Hence, rectangle is a square of side `root(5)(2) "cm"`
