ABC is a variable isosceles triangle with AB=AC touching a semicircle of radius a cm at P and Q. O is the centre of the semicircle and BOC is a straight line. Let S cm^2 be the area of △ABC and ∠BAO=θ.
a) Show that
S=2a^2/sin2θ ,where 0<θ<π/2
b) Determine the range of values ofθ for which S is
i) increasing,and
ii)decreasing.
Hence, find the minimum values of S
