a poster of area 15360 cm215360 cm2 has blank margins of 10 cm10 cm wide on the top and bottom and 6 cm6 cm wide on the sides. find the dimensions that maximize the printed area. (use decimal notation. give your answers as whole or exact numbers.)



Answer :

The dimensions that maximize the area are, 96cm and 84cm.

What is area?

The measurement that expresses the size of a region on a plane or curved surface is called area. Surface area refers to the area of an open surface or the boundary of a three-dimensional object, whereas the area of a plane region or plane area refers to the area of a form or planar lamina.

Let the height of poster be h and breadth be b,

bh = 15630cm square........(1)

Height of the printed area=h-10-10 = h - 20

(decrement of 10 from top and bottom)

the breadth of the printed area b-6-6 = b-12

(decrement of 9 from both sides)

for maximum printed area:

A=(h-20)(b-12) should be maximum

[tex]A = (h - 20)(\frac{15360 }{h}-12)[/tex]

From equation (1)  

[tex]A = 15360-12h-\frac{307200}{h} +240[/tex]

A = 15600 - 12h - (307200/h)

differentiate with respect to h (it should be=0)

[tex]\frac{dA}{dh}= 0-12 + \frac{307200}{h^2}[/tex]

[tex]12 = \frac{307200}{h} \\h = 160 cm[/tex]

from equation (1),

[tex]bh = 15630cm^2\\b = 96cm[/tex]

dimension of printed area,

= h - 20

= 160 - 20

= 140 cm

= b - 12

= 96 - 12

= 84 cm

Therefore, the dimensions that maximize the area are, 96cm and 84cm.
