Thread: Min/max area of isosceles triangle inscribed in circle

Find the min and max area (if such values exist) of an isosceles triangle inscribed in a circle with the radius R.

I have no idea where to begin.

1) Draw a circle.
2) Put an isosceles-looking triangle in it.
3) Label the equal sides.
4) Find the center of the circle.
5) From the center ot each Vertex is "R".
6) What do you know about the angle subtended by an angle inscribed in a circle?

A suggestion: look through the site search to see if a similar problem has been posed in the past.
