Circle Of Hades Maximize The Area Of The Iscosceles Triangles Inscribe In The Unit Circle?

Maximize the area of the iscosceles triangles inscribe in the unit circle? - circle of hades

How is that?
I think we can cut the circle in half and get two semi-circles and triangles. I hade a problem where the maximum area of a triangle find rignht in a circle SEM. So I guess what I have to do is still the two areas and have my answer, but I'm not sure if this is correct.

His method should lead to the correct answer.

Basically, the function y (x +1) to maximize subject to the constraint x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 1. These are derivatives, the creation of zero, and the solution of the roots. My answer is iscosceles triangle whose base 2/sqrt (2). Not adjust to your answer?
