Find the dimensions (that is, the length and the breadth) of the largest rectangle that can be inscribed in a right triangle. The triangle is bounded by the x- and y-axis and the line 5x + 8y - 40 = 0 in the first quadrant of the Cartesian plane. The rectangle inside the triangle is also bounded by the x-axis and y-axis and has vertex (x,y) on the line y = 5x + 8y - 40 = 0. Draw a diagram of the situation and include the steps of your reasoning.
