8. (a) An isosceles triangle T has two sides of length d and the included angle between these sides has size 0 (radians), say. Determine the area of T and the value of 0 for which T has the maximal area for a given value of d. (b) Let C be a circle of radius 1 and centre O. Let X, Y and Z be three distinct points on C. Determine the maximal possible area of the triangle XYZ assuming that it is right-angled. (c) Now let A, B and C be three distinct points on the circle C of radius 1 and suppose that the sides AB, AC and BC of the triangle ABC have lengths x, x and y respectively. Thus the angles ABC = AĈB = ß say. Let D be the point on C such that BD is a diameter of C. Show that the angle ADB : %3D and hence deduce that x = 2 sin B.
