Let C be the circle of minimum area enclosing the ellipse E: x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 with eccentricity 1/2 and foci (±2,0). Let PQR be a variable triangle, whose vertex P is on the circle C and the side QR of length 29 is parallel to the major axis of E and contains the point of intersection of E with the negative y -axis. Then the maximum area of the triangle PQR is :
