The diagonal of the rectangle is 18, what is the largest area this rectangle can have

A rectangle is a convex rectangle whose area is: S = d1 * d2 * Sinα, where d1, d2 are the diagonals of the quadrilateral, and sinα is the angle between them.

Since AВСD is a rectangle, its diagonals are equal, AC = ВD = 18 cm.

Savsd = 162 * SinAOB.

The maximum area of the rectangle will be at SinAOB = 1.

Then the angle AOB = 90, and the quadrangle AOСD is a square.

Answer:   The maximum area is 162 cm2.
