Problem
Let 
be a convex quadrilateral with 
and 
Suppose that the centroids of 
and 
form the vertices of an equilateral triangle. What is the maximum possible value of ?
Solution
Let 
be the centroids of 
Rotate 
to 
Then 
is also equilateral
Which has a larger or equal area than
Area of is at most 
Therefore the maximum area for is therefore
