Homework Statement
Two sides of a triangle have lengths a and b, and the angle between them is theta. What value of theta will maximize the triangle's area? (Hint: A=1/2absin(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
I have a triangle drawn, with the base being a, and the height being b. From the equation given, does the value of b actually equal theta times the angle?
I'm trying to relate the two angles so i can solve for one variable, but not sure where to start.
