on the circumference of the circle.
Question Image

The base of the triangle is equal to 2r and height of the triangle id equal to

r

.
Evaluate the area of the triangle

△ A B C

A = 12 (2 r) (r) ⇒ A = r 2

The area of the triangle is

r 2

sq. units.
Therefore, the area of largest triangle inscribed a semicircle of radius

r

units is

r^{2}

.
Hence the correct option is 1.
