    Thank you for the vid! :D
    Helped me with the last two steps.
    Just wanted to point out, even though I there are a LOT of ways you can go about this problem.
    You can use formula for the area of an eq. ▲, A=(x^2√3)/4, with L for side x. Set it eq. to formula for the area of any ▲, A=(b·h)/2. You get the formula for height of an eq. ▲, h=(L√3)/(2).
    Then, set the base and height of two inscribed ▲'s eq. to each other and get the rectangle height with x and constant L: y=(√3/2)(L-2x)
    You're great! :)

    What you're asking for is exactly what she is solving for from 8:10 all the way to the end of the video. Half the rectangle there at 8:10 means that we are optimizing to find the largest rectangle inscribed in a right triangle with hypotenuse L and base L/2 (which is just a special right triangle). Hope that helps Akhil Gupta! Nice video integralCALC!

  • @ptyptypty3
    @ptyptypty3 8 років тому

    I haven't really done the math but.. I'm wondering if we could just solve for one half of the triangle, perhaps the Right Half, and find the values for X and H .. and due to symmetry you can extend those values to the other half of the equilateral triangle. The only difference would be that you double the X value obtained in the Right Half.. the H value would still be the same. Yes? No? Maybe So?..... lol, perhaps I'd best do the math now and see for myself... Thanks Krista for a great video and for fostering a "Thinking Beyond the Problem" .. :) .. Peace always...

  • @JoeyRizzurro
    @JoeyRizzurro 11 років тому

    Thanks for your help this problem is dreadful! Why can you use half the rectangle for optimization @ 7:55 ? I get that if you use A=2x(h) you get the same value for x when you do the derivative, but then later when you multiply by 2 @ 11:13 it messes up the value doesn't it? Thanks again this problem seemed hopeless before I found this video.

    • @kristakingmath
      @kristakingmath  11 років тому

      Why would it mess it up @ 11:13? When we multiply by 2, we're just taking what we know about half of the base, and changing it so that it's related to the entire base. :)

    How did you know you had to split b into 2?

    • @kristakingmath
      @kristakingmath  7 років тому

      Because the length of the entire base is b, and we know the rectangle is symmetric about the y-axis, which means the length of the base to the left of the y-axis has to be half of the base, and same with the length of the base to the right of the y-axis. So b/2 and b/2. :)
