cannot get started on area problem

by baz90@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 6, 2008 at 04:10 PM

Hello all,
      I have just done 35 calculus  questions of varying difficulty
and solved them quite easily, but the last problem i can't get my
thinking around  . This is it:       A rectangle PQRS is placed inside
a scalene triangle ABC [ the diagram is supplied but I can't draw it;
to explain the diagram.. BC is the base of ABC; P is on AB;Q is on AC;
S and R are on BC].  If the area of the triangle ABC is constant,
prove that the maximum area of the rectangle is one-half the area of
the triangle ABC.
      Hope somebody can even get me started. Thank you.  bazza
