Suppose a rectangle is inscribed within an isosceles triangle, a triangle which has base of length 2b and height h. Let T be the area of the triangle, and let Rm be the maximal area of the rectangle. What is the value, in terms of b and h, of the ratio T/Rm? Hints: 1. Draw a picture – it's going to help a lot.
