Find the area of the largest rectangle that can be inscribed in a right triangle with legs of lengths 3 cm and 4 cm if two sides of the rectangle lie along the legs. Just in case: "largest" means having the maximum area of allother such rectangles. ( Hint: the triangleson the drawing are similar; to maximize the value of xy, first express "y through x " or " x through y "; then...; in your answer, specify what x and yare chosen and what the value of that maximum area is.)
