Find the sides $a$, $b$ and $c$ of the triangle ($c=b$) of minimal area circumscribed around ellipse, whose equation is ${x^2over9} + {y^2over4} = 1$, if side $a$ is parallel to $x$-axis.



I suppose that ellipse tangents are side $b$ and $c$. I have that $b=c=sqrt{63}$ and $a=sqrt{108}$, but I am not sure about that.

    Hint. If you scale the $x$ axis by an appropriate fraction you turn the ellipse into a circle and scale all areas by the same fraction. Find the minimal area triangle for the circle and scale back.

    I have got $a=3sqrt3$ and $b=c=frac32sqrt7$. Seems to be 2 times less than your values. Does it help?
