say the red medians are given.  we know [ΔAFE]=(([ΔABC])/4)  ⇒[EFBC]=((3[ΔABC])/4)  ⇒[ΔABC]=(4/3)[EFBC]       =(4/3)×((m_b m_c sin θ)/2)=((2 m_b m_c sin θ)/3)  we see the area of triangle ABC  is maximum when θ=90°.  [ΔABC]_(max) =((2 m_b m_c )/3)=((2×3×4)/3)=8 cm^2   in this case ΔABC is right angled.

   mine gives the value of the 3rd midian and it   show how to convert the midians into sides of   the new triangle “right one = max”   that′s good, but i felt that it′s a little unconvincing.
