Maximization of Areas of Circle-Inscribed Triangles by an Oscillating Algebraic Sequence
William J. Bruce
If a scalene triangle and an isosceles triangle are inscribed in a circle on the same side of a common chord as base, the altitude of the isosceles triangle is greater than the altitude of the scalene triangle and, consequently, the area of the isosceles triangle is greater than the area of the scalene triangle.
