Triangle A has an area of #9 # and two sides of lengths #3 # and #9 #. Triangle B is similar to triangle A and has a side with a length of #7 #. What are the maximum and minimum possible areas of triangle B?
Maximum possible Area of B:
Minimum possible Area of B:
If we use the side of A with length
then the height of A relative to this base is
(since the area of A is given as

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
