The figure below shows an isosceles triangle PQR, where |PQ|=|PR| and a rectangle ABCD drawn inside the triangle. The points A and D lie on QR, the point B lies on PQ and the point C lies on PR. Given that the base of the triangle QR is equal in length to its height, show clearly that the largest area that can be obtained for the rectangle ABCD is half the area of the triangle PQR.
