A rectangle is inscribed in a semicirlce with a radius of 50. Find a function that models the area A of the rectangle in terms of it's height.

If someone can help me step by step I would greatly appreciate it

Per the diagram, the area of the rectangle is A=xy.

But, by Pythagoras,

y is the height, so we can solve this equation for x and sub into the area formula.



Sub into A:



There, the area is in terms of its height, y.
