[sp]From the formula $\frac12bc\sin A$ for the area of a triangle, each of the coloured regions $R,S,T$ has the same area as the triangle $ABC$. This is maximised when $AB$ is perpendicular to $AC$. The area of each region is then $10$ and their combined area is $30.$[/sp]

fine ,you got it !
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
