Equal Maxes (Posted on 2007-06-12) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Find a shape for which the area of the largest inscribed triangle is equal to the area of the largest inscribed square.

No doubt there are an infinity of such shapes, but you must find one that can be expressed by a simple equation of order 2 or less, combined with constraints on the domain and range.
