    MHB SAT Math: Greatest Possible Area of Triangle (7, 10)

    Ah yes, that does make more sense...I know trig is not required for the SAT and I think many of my students will be confused. I am going to tell them to remember that maximum area occurs in right triangles. Any ideas on how I can visually show them this concept? Thanks so much for your help!
