The area of largest triangle that can be inscribed in a semicircle of radius R cm is__________?
Correct answer: B. R2 cm2
- A. 2R cm2
- B. R2 cm2
- C. 1/2 R2 cm2
- D. 2 R2 cm2
Explanation
The largest triangle uses the semicircle's diameter as its base, 2R cm, and reaches the arc at height R cm. Its area is 1/2 × 2R cm × R cm = R² cm². The likely trap is 2R cm², which is a length expression and does not have the correct area dimension.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
