α=(π/2)−(β/2) ⇒2α=π−β ..(i) β=(π/2)−(α/2) ⇒2β=π−α ..(ii) ⇒α=β=(π/3)=60° AC=2R cos (α/2)=(√3)R AB=2r cos (β/2)=(√3)r ∠CAB=180°−(α/2)−(β/2)=120° Δ_(max) =(1/2)×(√3)R×(√3)r×sin 120° ⇒Δ_(max) =((3(√3)Rr)/4)
$$\alpha=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{\beta}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}\alpha=\pi−\beta\:\:\:..\left({i}\right) \\ $$$$\beta=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{\alpha}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}\beta=\pi−\alpha\:\:..\left({ii}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\alpha=\beta=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}=\mathrm{60}° \\ $$$${AC}=\mathrm{2}{R}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\alpha}{\mathrm{2}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{R} \\ $$$${AB}=\mathrm{2}{r}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\beta}{\mathrm{2}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{r} \\ $$$$\angle{CAB}=\mathrm{180}°−\frac{\alpha}{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{\beta}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{120}° \\ $$$$\Delta_{{max}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{R}×\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{r}×\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{120}° \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\Delta_{{max}} =\frac{\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{Rr}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

yes Sir, straight and clear, thanks again(i am quite dumb at this).

i tried above to find the maximum triangle only using logic. but we can get the same result using calculus: Δ=(1/2)×2R cos (α/2)×2r cos (β/2)×sin ((α/2)+(β/2)) =2Rr cos (α/2) cos (β/2) sin ((α/2)+(β/2)) ((∂(Δ))/∂α)=2Rrcos (β/2){−(1/2)sin (α/2) sin ((α/2)+(β/2))+(1/2)cos (α/2) cos ((α/2)+(β/2))}=0 sin (α/2) sin ((α/2)+(β/2))=cos (α/2) cos ((α/2)+(β/2)) ⇒tan (α/2) tan ((α/2)+(β/2))=1 ...(i) ((∂(Δ))/∂β)=2Rrcos (α/2){−(1/2)sin (β/2) sin ((α/2)+(β/2))+(1/2)cos (β/2) cos ((α/2)+(β/2))}=0 ⇒tan (β/2) tan ((α/2)+(β/2))=1 ...(ii) ⇒tan (α/2)=tan (β/2) ⇒α=β ⇒tan (α/2) tan α=1 ⇒tan (α/2) ((2 tan (α/2))/(1−tan^2 (α/2)))=1 ⇒3 tan^2 (α/2)=1 ⇒tan (α/2)=(1/( (√3))) ⇒(α/2)=30° ⇒α=β=60°

using calculus i′d got the same, but would you please explain your logic to me in some more detail, Sir?

the logic is: with maximum triangle tangent at C is parallel to AB, i.e. CP⊥AB. tangent at B is parallel to AC, i.e. BQ⊥AC.

the logic is the same as in Q53910.
