In front of a 200 meters long wall, a triangular plot is to be cordoned off using the wall as one of its sides and a fencing of total length 300 meters to form the other two sides. Then the maximum possible area (in square meters) of the plot that can be cordoned off is​

    • For maximum area of a rt angled triangle with a fixed hypotenuse, base and height should be equal.
    • base = height = s

    then

    • s^2+s^2= 100^2
    • s^2= 0.5 *(100)^2

    => area of triangle = 1/2 *s*s = (1/4)*(100)^2= 50^2 = 2500 sq mtrs
