Let side of triangle be 'a'=2√2. Altitude H = a√3/2 = √6.
Let rectangle have dimensions l, w.
Let base l be on the base of triangle. w is the height.
Triangle above rectangle is similar to large triangle.
(H-w)/H = l/a.
l = a (H-w)/H = a (1-w/H).
Area A = lw = aw (1-w/H).
A' (w) = a (1-2w/H) = 0 ⇒ w = H/2

It's difficult but in some colleges you may can get 

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0
