Well it looks like you have enough information there to come up with a function that represents the area of that polygon. After that see where that function has a maximum. That is take its derivative and find critical points, and plug them into your original function, and see what values you get.

… a bit at a time ! …
Hi mercedesbenz!
This is one of those problems that is a bit complicated to do all in one go.
So simplify it … do a bit at a time!
Hint: fix A B and D, and just find the best place for C.
Solve that, and the rest of the problem becomes obvious.
