Abstract: In this paper we shall investigate the following problem: Which is the largest regular triangle in a brick with volume 1 and having edge lengthes greater than $frac1sqrt2$? We prove that there are three optimal cases in all which the edge lengthes of the triangles are $sqrt2$, respectively.
