The maximum area of the triangle  whose sides a,b and c satisfy   0≤a≤1 , 1≤b≤2 , 2≤c≤3 is :  A) 1  B) 2  C) 1.5  D) 0.5       ?

I think because of a+b>c, a+c>b  and b+c>a and Area=((s×h_s )/2) with  s=a∨b∨c the largest possible  triangle in this case is the one  with max s and max h_s  and it  seems to me it′s the rectangular  one with b=2; a=h_b =1; c=(√5)   and ((b×h_b )/2)=1, so it′s answer 1

$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{think}\:\mathrm{because}\:\mathrm{of}\:{a}+{b}>{c},\:{a}+{c}>{b} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:{b}+{c}>{a}\:\mathrm{and}\:{Area}=\frac{{s}×{h}_{{s}} }{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{with} \\ $$$${s}={a}\vee{b}\vee{c}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{largest}\:\mathrm{possible} \\ $$$$\mathrm{triangle}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{case}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{one} \\ $$$$\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{max}\:{s}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{max}\:{h}_{{s}} \:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{it} \\ $$$$\mathrm{seems}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{me}\:\mathrm{it}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{rectangular} \\ $$$$\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{with}\:{b}=\mathrm{2};\:{a}={h}_{{b}} =\mathrm{1};\:{c}=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\frac{{b}×{h}_{{b}} }{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{1},\:\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{it}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{answer}\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$

sir why u choose right angled triangle.   why not an acute / obtuse angled triangle

$${sir}\:{why}\:{u}\:{choose}\:{right}\:{angled}\:{triangle}. \\ $$$$\:{why}\:{not}\:{an}\:{acute}\:/\:{obtuse}\:{angled}\:{triangle} \\ $$
