Question

A rectangle is inscribed in a right triangle with legs of length 3 and 4. Express the area A of the rectangle as a function of x.
What is x ?
That's all the problem says
There must be a diagram with it or something to tell you what x is
If x is the height of the rectangle, with base along the leg of length 4, then

A = 4/3 x(3-x)
