A=A_1 +A_2   A_1 =((ab)/2) is fixed.  A_(max) ⇔A_(2,max)   due to symmetry, A_(2,max)  is when c  is horizontal.  c=(√(a^2 +b^2 ))  A_(2,max) =(2/3)×c×((c/2))^2 =(c^3 /6)=(((a^2 +b^2 )^(3/2) )/6)  ⇒A_(max) =((ab)/2)+(((a^2 +b^2 )^(3/2) )/6)

$${A}={A}_{\mathrm{1}} +{A}_{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${A}_{\mathrm{1}} =\frac{{ab}}{\mathrm{2}}\:{is}\:{fixed}. \\ $$$${A}_{{max}} \Leftrightarrow{A}_{\mathrm{2},{max}} \\ $$$${due}\:{to}\:{symmetry},\:{A}_{\mathrm{2},{max}} \:{is}\:{when}\:{c} \\ $$$${is}\:{horizontal}. \\ $$$${c}=\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${A}_{\mathrm{2},{max}} =\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}×{c}×\left(\frac{{c}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{{c}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{6}}=\frac{\left({a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}} }{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{A}_{{max}} =\frac{{ab}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\left({a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}} }{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$
