    Let C be the circle of minimum area enclosing the ellipse E:x2a2+y2b2=1E:\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}= 1 with eccentricity 12\frac{1}{2} and foci (±2,0)( \pm 2,0). Let PQR be a variable triangle, whose vertex PP is on the circle CC and the side QRQR of length 2a2a is parallel to the major axis of E and contains the point of intersection of E with the negative yy-axis. Then the maximum area of the triangle PQR is
