If a rectangle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle of side length 22 as shown in the figure, then the square of the largest area of such a rectangle is _____________.
Answer: 60
Solution
In ΔDBF tan60∘=22−l2b⇒b=23(22−l) A = Area of rectangle = l × b A=l×23(22−l)dldA=23(22−l)−2l.3=0l=2A=l×b=2×23(2)=3⇒ A 2 = 3
