S=4x(√(a^2 −x^2 ))⇒S′=4(√(a^2 −x^2 ))+((−4x^2 )/(√(a^2 −x^2 )))=  ((4a^2 −4x^2 −4x^2 )/(√(a^2 −x^2 )))=0⇒8x^2 =4a^2 ⇒  x^2 =(a^2 /2)⇒x=(a/(√2))⇒  S=2(√2)a(√(a^2 −(a^2 /2)))=2(√2)a(√(a^2 /2))=2a^2

$${S}=\mathrm{4}{x}\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }\Rightarrow{S}'=\mathrm{4}\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }+\frac{−\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }}= \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{4}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\mathrm{8}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \Rightarrow \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}\Rightarrow{x}=\frac{{a}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}\Rightarrow \\ $$$${S}=\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}{a}\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}}=\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}{a}\sqrt{\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}}=\mathrm{2}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$
